Savage Dragon #92

Bring on the Bad Guys" is exactly the promise this October 2001 cover delivers — a massive, muscle-bound Savage Dragon stands front and center, fists clenched, flanked by a rogues' gallery that includes an armored figure crackling with electricity, a heavyset villain in a lab coat, a purple alien-looking antagonist wielding a studded weapon, and a looming tentacled creature dominating the background. Erik Larsen's pencils and inks pack the composition with menace, while a small inset circle hints at Dragon in action elsewhere. With a lineup this formidable closing in, issue #92 sets a wonderfully ominous tone for wherever this confrontation is headed.
