Savage Dragon #134

Savage Dragon #134 was published by Image Comics in 2007 as part of Erik Larsen's long-running creator-owned superhero series. This issue is particularly notable for featuring the conclusion of the 'Back in Black' story arc, a pivotal moment in the narrative where the protagonist, Malcolm Dragon, begins to take a more central role in the series. The book reflects Larsen's distinctively bold, Kirby-esque artistic style and his commitment to a real-time storytelling approach where characters age and evolve chronologically.

The issue serves as a hallmark of independent comic book production, maintaining the series' reputation for intense action and ongoing character development. Larsen, who serves as both the writer and artist, designed the book to bridge the gap between the legacy of the original Savage Dragon, his father Kurr, and the next generation. It was received by long-term readers as a significant transition point, reinforcing the series' status as one of the few independent comics to sustain a continuous, multi-decade monthly publication schedule.
