The Savage Dragon is an ongoing American comic book series created by Erik Larsen and published by Image Comics. The comic features the adventures of a superheroic police officer named Dragon. The character first appeared in Megaton #3 (July 1986).
Dragon is a large, finned, green-skinned humanoid whose powers include super-strength and an advanced healing factor. He is an amnesiac: his earliest memory is awakening in a burning field in Chicago. Thus, for most of the series, his powers and appearance are a mystery to readers. At the beginning of the series, he becomes a police officer and battles the mutant criminal "superfreaks" that terrorize Chicago.
Along with Spawn, The Savage Dragon is one of two original Image Comics titles still published and the only one still written and drawn by its creator. The character was also adapted into a short-lived (26 episodes) USA network animated series in 1994.
