Here’s a nice long interview with writer/artist Erik Larsen about his odds-defying comic book series, Savage Dragon. This exciting, smart, completely unpredictable book has been turning superhero-story conventions and cliches on their ears for about 110 issues at this point. I haven’t been crazy about the last few (a lot of anti-New Marvel injokes–alright, Erik, we get it: You don’t like Brian Bendis!), but the series has given me some of my all-time favorite comics moments, and (along with the sporadic output of Frank Miller) kept my interest in comics alive (if on life support) during several years away from the racks. Do yourself a favor and pick up an issue. It’s delightful!
