Savage Dragon #121

The cover of Savage Dragon #121 (2005) delivers an immediately arresting image: the green-skinned, fin-headed Dragon clutches a blonde woman in his massive arms, the two of them framed dramatically against a cracked stone backdrop dominated by a looming shadow. Erik Larsen's pencils and inks give the scene a raw, kinetic energy — Dragon's expression is fierce and protective, hinting at real stakes surrounding "The Long Journey Home." It's a compelling snapshot of the series at its most visceral, with Chris Giarrusso handling the interior duties across the board.
