Savage Dragon #120

Savage Dragon steps into the political arena in this 2005 Image Comics entry, and the cover — penciled and inked by Erik Larsen and Rafael Albuquerque — says it all: the green-skinned, fin-headed Dragon, dressed in a suit and red tie, stands front and center between two silver-haired men in suits, all three caught in what feels like a tense post-election moment beneath the bold tagline "The Vote Is In!" It's a wonderfully offbeat image that plants one of comics' most recognizable brawlers squarely in the world of politics, and the sheer absurdity of it is played with just the right amount of straight-faced gravitas.
