Savage Dragon #3

From Erik Larsen's own pencils and inks, this August 1993 Image title delivers a cover that wastes no time setting a brutal tone. A massive, muscular figure dominates the foreground — battered and surrounded by flying debris — while a red-clawed menace looms overhead, and the green-skinned Savage Dragon himself stands ready in the background amid the wreckage. With a story titled "The Fiend Makes the Scene," issue #3 makes it clear that Dragon's world is one where the threats come large, dangerous, and relentless.
