Marvel Super Special #20

Marvel Super Special #20 brings the official comics adaptation of the Paramount/Disney film Dragonslayer to vivid life, with Earl Norem's cover art presenting three striking panels: a robed young woman chained to a post, a fearsome horned dragon looming over flames with a small figure below it, and a white-bearded sorcerer conjuring fire beside an open tome and a skull. Inside, writer Denny O'Neil — joined by screenwriters Hal Barwood and Matthew Robbins — and artist Marie Severin translate this tale of ancient terror and sorcery into comics form. If you love fantasy adventure steeped in dark atmosphere, this 1981 magazine-format special is a genuinely compelling piece of the era.
