About the series
A one-shot crossover from 1995, this Image Comics special teams Erik Larsen's creator-owned hero The Savage Dragon with Michael Dooney's incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then under Jim Lee's direction for Playmates. Written and drawn by Larsen alongside Dooney, it captures the era's energy of indie and licensed characters colliding. A brief but memorable meeting of two distinct worlds, it stands as a snapshot of mid-90s comics crossover culture.
