Savage Dragon #80

Savage Dragon finds himself in serious trouble on the cover of issue #80, dragged beneath the surface of Lake Fear by a massive, tentacled creature whose spiked coils wrap around his powerful green frame as he claws desperately upward toward the light. Erik Larsen's cover art captures the raw, churning tension of an underwater struggle with striking clarity — bubbles rushing to the surface, the Dragon's muscular form straining against an opponent that seems disturbingly at home in the depths. "The Lurkers Beneath Lake Fear!" promises exactly the kind of pulpy, visceral adventure that made this Image series a reliable thrill in October 2000.
