Savage Dragon first appearance ?8157

Collector Scorpion private msg quote post Address this user
Graphic Fantasy #1 1st appearance as dragon
Graphic Fantasy #2 2nd appearance as dragon

Megaton #1 Erik Larsen’s“1st pro work” No dragon
Megaton #2 3re appearance as dragon
Megaton #3 4th appearance as dragon

you’ll notice of course that something is missing… and that’s the “Savage” part. So: which comic is credited with the first appearance of Savage Dragon?
And that brings us to Savage Dragon Limited Series #1, first appearance of Savage Dragon.

i think i have the order correct now.

these are the same characters correct?

CGC slabs are inconsistent in the first appearance. Is this basically an argument on whether or not the Dragon and the Savage Dragon are the same character? Then if they are the same character, is it then where is he first named the Savage Dragon?

@Scorpion @Joosh

I probably should have been a bit clearer.
My point was CGC slabs either (1) are inconsistent or (2) they are differentiating the characters.

The CGC Megaton 3 I posted has "1st appearance savage dragon" the Megaton 3 CGC slab @Scorpion posted has "dragon appearance" so it looks to be (1) inconsistent

Comic vine has the 1st appearance listed as graphic fantasy 2 but CGC and cbcs both have that as 2nd appearance of the dragon.

I've always thought Megaton #3 was his first appearance. Does he actually appear in a story prior to that? I know he had appearances in ads, but I didn't think he was actually in any stories prior to Megaton #3.

I'm not a fan of the character, but I own a copy that I grabbed out of a budget box of comics.. either priced a quarter or a dollar. It's not in the greatest shape.

first appearance.

so am guessing this order is correct

Graphic Fantasy #1 1st appearance as dragon
Graphic Fantasy #2 2nd appearance as dragon

Megaton #1 Erik Larsen’s“1st pro work” No dragon
Megaton #2 3re appearance as dragon
Megaton #3 4th appearance as dragon

and then image comics Savage Dragon

correct me if i'm wrong.

The author to that last link is great. He is responsible for the rarecomicsblog as well as a blog similar to the one you have shown, but for spawn.

The links answer my question. I'd still consider Megaton #3 as the first professional appearance of the character. Why didn't he publish a Prism comic instead? I would like that better.
