Savage Dragon #62

The green-skinned Dragon, dressed in a sharp black tuxedo, holds a blonde woman in a flowing white gown close against a rosy backdrop scattered with white roses — it's a romantic image that carries real weight coming from Erik Larsen, who penciled, inked, and wrote every page of this 1999 Image series. The cover has a warmth and tenderness that feels genuinely surprising for a book whose interior story carries the wonderfully absurd title "Savage Dragonbert and Hitler's Brainbert." Larsen's long-running creator-owned series continues to prove it can shift tones on a dime, and this issue looks like a fine example of that range.
