Savage Dragon #71

Savage Dragon #71 arrives in January 2000 with a cover by Erik Larsen that sets an ominous tone — a massive, cape-shrouded figure looms in the shadows above while two battle-worn warriors escort a chained, armored prisoner through a smoldering, rubble-strewn landscape. The story title alone — "Savage Dragonbert and Hitler's Brainbert" — signals that Larsen is steering the series into gloriously weird territory. If you enjoy Erik Larsen's anything-goes approach to superhero comics, this issue looks like a compelling place to be.
