Savage Dragon #226

Savage Dragon #226 arrives with one of 2017's most provocative covers, courtesy of series mainstay Erik Larsen — a towering, raging figure shouting "Kill them!" and "Kill the aliens!" looms over a crowded street scene while a green-skinned Dragon cradles a young girl and a small alien creature amid a panicked crowd. Subtitled "The Torment and the Tyrant!" right on the cover banner, this issue wastes no time signaling that the political landscape of the Savage Dragon universe is as turbulent as ever. With Larsen writing, drawing, and inking every page alongside colorists Nikos Koutsis and Mike Toris and lettering by Chris Eliopoulos, this long-running Image series continues to swing boldly and without apology.
