Legendary Incredible Hulk artist Herb Trimpe will pencil one backup story in Savage Dragon #200 and then ink a second by series creator Erik Larsen, Larsen announced via Twitter last night.

Larsen, who has often held up Trimpe as one of his favorite artists, explained that his first comic book issue was drawn by Trimpe and said that working with the veteran artist is a "dream come true."

Larsen will also ink the backup story penciled by Trimpe.

One of the greatest cheats ever! Asked to draw 3 heroes pursued by thousands of manic New Yorkers, Trimpe drew this: pic.twitter.com/eLz5hgJm0I — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

The hope is to trade off backups with Herb Trimpe for Savage Dragon 200. I'll ink his pencils and we'll ink mine. Among others of course. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

I did a rough layout pass for the backup I'm pencilling for Herb today. Eight pages. Standard-sized pages for this swap. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

Herb Trimpe was kind of my gateway comic book artist. He was the first artist I knew by name--he drew the first comic I ever bought. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

I started with Incredible Hulk #156--still one of my favorite comics ever. A great issue in a fantastic run. Herb's run was legendary. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

The opportunity to work with Herb Trimpe is a dream come true. Really, it is. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

In any case--Herb is pencilling a back up story in Savage Dragon #200 that I'll be inking and I'm pencilling another for him to ink. — Erik Larsen (@ErikJLarsen) August 27, 2014

If all goes according to schedule, Savage Dragon #200 should be out by the end of 2014. Savage Dragon #198 has been completed and Larsen is talking about attempting an issue made up exclusively of double-page splashes for #199.
