Judomaster #98

Frank McLaughlin's cover for this December 1967 Charlton issue tells you everything you need to know: Judomaster, in his striking red-and-yellow costume, plants his feet and thrusts a spear toward a snarling, fang-filled green dragon while shielding a dark-haired woman crouched behind him. The title "The Isle of Dragons" promises the kind of pulpy adventure that made Charlton's action line so entertaining, and McLaughlin's dynamic linework brings real urgency to the confrontation.
