Vikings, wizards, reanimated skeletons, street gangs, teen arcades, mystic swords and haunted jewels meld perfectly in this DIY saga that captures the exuberance of limitless adolescent daydreams. Welcome to the fantastical, mind-bending and wholesomely  Savage World of Tony Lorenz , the cult cartoonist who worked during the height of the indie ‘80s black-and-white comics boom and brought-to-life the hit first issue of the acutely offbeat comic series  JONTAR . Together with his high-school classmate,  Tony Lorenz  co-created the ambitious 124-page fantasy-adventure  SAVAGE WORLD , chronicling the exploits of sailors Slick and Jimi, who after being engulfed by a mysterious fog are transported to a prehistoric dimension. The aesthetic friction of a maritime fable rendered unintentionally in the style of 80s punk flyers propels what was once rejected as woefully amateur into rediscovered outsider art for the new millennium. Along with several other curated works collected in this expansive volume,  THE SAVAGE WORLD OF TONY LORENZ  is a celebration of the untrained and unrestrained, with many of these cosmic creations hitting print for the very first time ever! Enter a world where politics means nothing, a world where wizards and churches reign supreme, a world where men live for the adventure, welcome to— The Savage World Battlin' Ram  is breaking into action and you don't want to miss it! Night Stalker  - A mysterious caped hero swings among the skyscrapers of Seattle. He is not known yet, but in a very short time people will know his eerie name. Born in London, England  Tony Lorenz  spent his childhood as an American army brat bouncing around from such far flung places as Italy, Seattle, Colorado, and Texas.  A creative passion for drawing comics was sparked and he never looked back since. At the age of seventeen, Tony created the singular imagery for the hit first issue of the celebrated cult comic series JONTAR. For the past 40 years nearly one hundred unread pages of SAVAGE WORLD, as well as several other unpublished works from the era have been locked away in a storage closet until being unearthed for THE SAVAGE WORLD OF TONY LORENZ, an expansive trade paperback published by Floating World Comics in 2024.  Over the past several decades, Tony has remained active in the small press community self-releasing works like his 18-issue, digest sized sci-fi opus FUTURO TIERRA. Tony presently resides in Tampa, Florida with his lovely wife. He has two children and three grandchildren.
