Savage Dragon #116

The cover of Savage Dragon #116 tells its story in a single striking image: the green-skinned, fin-headed Dragon and a blonde woman in a patriotic star-spangled costume are flung apart by a jagged crackling divide, while a lone red mechanical fist reaches up from below — and the single word "POWERLESS" at the bottom makes the stakes unmistakable. Erik Larsen's cover linework captures both characters mid-stumble, their expressions a mix of alarm and determination that pulls you right into the tension of the 2004 story "Power Outage." It's a clean, dynamic composition that does exactly what a great cover should — make you want to flip it open immediately.
