Larsen’s is the creator who I’ve read the most of work from. I have almost the entire run of Dragon. He was what got me into Kirby and Simonson. His work is a big part of why I make comics myself.
Nothing better than listening to these interviews while drawing.
This is GREAT! I've been onboard with THE SAVAGE DRAGON since 1992 and am awaiting #248 releasing soon. Erik Larsen always delivers a crazy comic ride each issue.👍👍🍻
Hard to find in-depth stuff like this. Good drop.
This video made my morning! It was a wonderful surprise to see it so soon after Cartoonist Kayfabe’s awesome review of the life-changing (for me, at least) Savage Dragon miniseries! Thanks for continuing to give us such killer content, Ed and Jim!
Amazing interview! Thanks for keeping that Cartoonist Kayfabe magic coming! Great way to close the interview too.
You guys are incredible. Thanks
Thanks for another great interview fellas!
Excellent work guys! Really enjoyed this interview a lot. Keep up the great work! 😎👍
Watching this while I'm going thru this coronavirus sickness help me take my mind to a happy place thank you.
get well soon, buddy
I hope you well and soon.
Great video guys. Have loved Erik Larson's work for a long time. What a treat, thank you.
Good interview,good questions. There should be more interviews from professional to professional...
This was one of my favorite interviews yet.
Been a Larsen fan since he took over Amazing and followed him to Savage Dragon. Awesome interview, sounded like he didn't want to get off the line, he was having a blast talking with you dudes.
Loving y’all’s channel! These deep dive interviews are the best!!!!
Really inspiring interview! I also looked back at his Doom Patrol isses -- they are beautiful!
This is so amazing that u guys go deep with indie creators. Respect 👌🏻 erik is a master of comicbooks indeed. I got to know jack kirby through him and i started drawibg comics because of the savage dragon.
Thanks for posting this great interview. Now I've got a hankering for some Larsen/Savage Dragon awesomeness.
Erik Larsen is one of my favorite creators and Image X month was my favorite thing in comics!
awesome interview, what a worker! love the dragon books
Looks like Larsen’s following Mcfarlane on another great series.
Raz Rentals aaahhh. I see what you did there. Excellent sir. Lol
I was grinning from ear to ear almost the whole time watching this!
I thought this show would go on forever!
By far my favorite of the Image founders. So wildly creative and true to his unique vision.
Although it is surprising that Erik says he has never really thought of himself as a big influence on people as a "DIY/you can make your own book now!" it makes sense because he is one the Ultimate "put my head down and get it done" creators ever. He is only focused on what he is doing. He is committed to Dragon and whatever other work he is choosing to pick up at the given time. Day after day, week after week, year after year, with changes all around him he keeps doing what he has always done, finishing the comic above anything else, even while the entire comic industry chnged around him he STILL kept course. And that certainly isn't a bad thing, it's a level of commitment that few can match. It's "this is what it takes to do it, and I keep doing it until I no longer can."
Erik sounds like a distant cousin of Norm Macdonald
Erik's last comment felt like he was speaking to me. I have a graphic novel, 30 years in the making, that I've never had the time/ability to get completed. Great, great interview, guys!
Man you guys are on a tear! Another amazing interview. Fucking hell, you guys are good.
I've always enjoyed his work, but I don't think I have really appreciated all that he has done. The fact that he's still going strong on Savage Dragon is very impressive.
Highlights of the interview for me:
* He just fucking changed what he wanted on his early DC work? The balls on the dude! "Yeah, I can do better than this guy"
* He uses #2 pencils. Wow!
* All the work he put into printing his own comic and how that lead to his amazing career. I wish I had that drive, commitment and vision at such a young age. Hell, I wish I had it now.
Keep up the great work guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your work and energy.
Hell yeah! I see that comic experience shirt! My local comic store
SF, represent!
Interesting hearing him talk about the books Valentino was bringing in. I read so much of that ‘shadow line’ stuff, I had no idea who else was reading it, but it was really interesting stuff to look at as a pre teen...strange comics that seemed to not connect with anyone in particular and felt weirdly powerful because of that.
My guy needs some new shelves
Savage Dragon vs Marshal Law is awesome.
Nice interview, tks guys 😉👍🏼
I love Ed's work!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I’d like to know which fishing comic Steve Ditko planned to do at Image. :p
It's called Mr. A's Fishing Adventure
Erik keeps saying “go for it” and he means it
Does anyone remember which creators Larsen brought to Image? Did he bring Kirkman onboard?
I believe Kirkman was brought in by Valentino.
Valentino was the publisher at the time, but Larsen gave Kirkman and Cory Walker their first Image book with the Super Patriot: America’s Fighting Force mini series.
Sim did 300 issues with Gerhard helping on backgrounds, McFarlane wrote 300+ issues , drew maybe 20 of them/ inked a lot of them but Larsen is the real deal. I love that guy because he’s always innovating and pushing himself and has none of the hype for his achievements. Just a “show up to work and take care of business” kind of guy. Awesome.
i wonder how would a Legend of super Heroes or a Dr strange Book would Look from Him
Erik Larson the original one man show
lol I still remember jumbo the lobster
Oh shit!! Erik is who I got my page speed game from! How the hell....
its krazy i'm watching comics explained and watching a spidey vid and think of eric larsen because of the art....to be brief...oh yea luv your art btw Eric
Ed Piksor? Where do i know that name from?hmmnn
is it just me or does Dragon look alot like Larsen? lol
True story: I colored two issues of a fishing comic by a former Spider-Man artist after he'd set it up at Image. I got paid for the first one!
These interviews are baller, guys.
It would be nice to hear what "awesome" image comics Erik Larsen is reading this days!? Please ask him next time. :)
Larsen gets a bad wrap IMO. Im a fan
Is it me or do I get a sort of Norm MacDonald/Bruce Campbell mixed vibe from Larsen
The Savage Dragon #1 was the first comic book cover I ever drew by hand when I was like 14 years old. I fell in love with drawing in the comic book style after that. Thanks Erik.
Yes, go back to the image shared Universe 😩 take my money 💵
Thanks guys, best channel on the tube.
It's great to see how real Larsen is, so refreshing.
