Savage Dragon #39

A smirking armored villain stands triumphantly over a massive face half-buried in the earth, surrounded by a swarm of flies buzzing across a sickly yellow sky — it's a vivid, unsettling image that perfectly sets up the story title "Duel with Dung." Erik Larsen's cover art has a gleefully grotesque energy, pitting what appears to be a bug-themed adversary against a downed, dirt-caked giant. This 1997 Image series entry delivers exactly the kind of wild, over-the-top confrontation that makes The Savage Dragon such a consistently entertaining read.
