Savage Dragon #108

Subtitled "The Flying Shoes Incident," this 2003 Image series entry delivers one of the more playfully inventive covers Erik Larsen has produced — a vertiginous plunge through a cityscape showing the green-skinned Savage Dragon tumbling helplessly upside-down, his legs lifted skyward by a pair of flaming, rocket-powered shoes yanking him off-balance while a second figure reaches out frantically nearby. Larsen handles every creative role here, from script to finished cover art, giving the issue a tightly unified vision that blends absurdist humor with kinetic energy. At $2.95, it's a fun snapshot of the long-running series doing what it does best — finding wild, unexpected trouble for its fin-headed hero.
