I’m not a skateboarder, and some question my balance even when I’m walking with a good pair of shoes, so I’ve never gotten into the customized/specialized skateboard deck scene. I do understand that decks can be adorned with everything from custom logos, to adult film stars to comic book heroes, and now Freak Show Skateboards has teamed with Erik Larsen for a Savage Dragon deck.

Press Release
SAVAGE DRAGON has recently made a much publicized return to the Chicago police force, seen the return of his greatest nemesis and in SAVAGE DRAGON #156 he can only pray to survive what may be his fiercest challenge yet: his own creator, Erik Larsen.
“I’m putting SAVAGE DRAGON through the ringer, this time out” Larsen said. “When it came down to executing that classic superhero cliché, the showdown with an evil twin, there was no way that I was going to do the expected–that’s not the way I’m wired. Often I’ve heard about writer/artists doing issue-long fight scenes and it occurred to me that I’ve never actually done that. This was an opportunity to cut loose as I’ve never cut loose before and the end result is not only the most brutal comic I’ve ever illustrated but quite possibly the most shocking as well. I’ve often said that there is no status quo in SAVAGE DRAGON and that nothing and nobody is safe. For readers weened on superhero comics from other publishers this may seem like a foreign concept but SAVAGE DRAGON readers have experienced that for years. Those readers who came onboard when Dragon returned to the police force are in for the surprise of their lives. If you think you have a good idea of what’s possible in a superhero book, think again. SAVAGE DRAGON #156 will make you a believer.”
