"Dragon Slayers for Hire" delivers a gripping twist in Arak / Son of Thunder #48, where the warrior is drawn into a mystery surrounding a river dragon that’s anything but natural. Written by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and R. J. M. Lofficier and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and Tony DeZuniga’s sharp inks, the story unfolds with quiet tension as Arak weighs a reluctant offer—only to find the true threat hidden in plain sight. The cover by Tony DeZuniga captures the moment’s intensity, hinting at the danger beneath the surface.

An old man and his daughter try to recruit Arak to kill the river dragon terrorizing the city, claiming it is not a true dragon, but a creature of evil. Arak says he'll think about it, angering the daughter with his reticence. Later, at a feast, the dragon attacks once again and Malagigi has to call upon his sorcery to drive it away. But, Malagigi was also able to discern who summoned the dragon: none other than Angelica, servant of the Serpent Lord! Arak knows he'll have to kill the beast, now.
