When I was a kid I loved the USA Network cartoon, Savage Dragon. I soon learned that it was the heavily sanitized version of a pretty out there Image comic series. The series pretty out there. It's violent and pornographic at times. That aside it's also a fantastic look at superhero comics and culture. While it's not been monthly, the main series started in 1993 and is still happening. Unlike most comic book universes, there is no sliding timeline. Dragon has aged, had a son, and the son has now taken over as the lead in the series. Of the 299 issues, I only have a few, but I've decided to make collecting them all a challenge. I might not ever complete it, but I think it will be fun to try. I've decided to chronicle my journey on here. Also, I know what "Chasing the Dragon" means but it seamed like a fitting phrase to riff on for this series.
Have you considered adding a sidebar to the blog, listing the issues you have so we can chart your collecting progress (and look out for issues on your behalf when we go to comic shops, cons etc)?
ReplyDeleteDave suggested I start posting about this and keeping track online. I have thought about documenting the issues I get it hadn’t thought about a sidebar. Thanks the suggestion.
