   The continuing adventures of the Dragon still finds him grappling with villians of all sorts and personal problems with his girlfriend Rapture (who writer/ artist Erik Larsen left up to readers whether Dragon should marry her or not). The character Hellboy makes an appearance in this volume and Mars Attacks (based off of the ridiculous movie by Tim Burton). Dragon is also terminated from the Chicago police department but there just may be a spot on a specialized government team. Crazy comic book The continuing adventures of the Dragon still finds him grappling with villians of all sorts and personal problems with his girlfriend Rapture (who writer/ artist Erik Larsen left up to readers whether Dragon should marry her or not).

   I really like how Dragon goes through personal problems with Rapture. Larsen let the readers decide if Dragon would marry Rapture or not. Along with Dragon, Rapture is one of the better comic book characters out there. Mars Attacks: Great. Dragon no longer a cop: changes the dynamics of the book. Note: There was a need to get rid of Youngblood at the time that these issues were published. This dictated some of the story line.

   So I originally quit reading TSD at issue #38 back in May of 1997. Not sure why exactly, but maybe I had other things on my mind at the time... It's also entirely possible that this was the point where the series got too crazy to keep up with. Honestly that's a part of the charm, but with hundreds of harassers and dozens of subplots it's almost too much. Not to keep track of, but just too much story to keep it interesting... If that makes any sense. Crazy stuff. Seeing the series still going str So I originally quit reading TSD at issue #38 back in May of 1997.

If that makes any sense. Crazy stuff. Seeing the series still going strong on the shelves I had a nostalgic moment and kicked up #111 & 123 back in 2006 and was not surprised that there were many old enemies and characters I recognized as well as some seriously weird stuff going down. Weird for this comic is kind of par for the course as well. Weird and crazy and good. I did stick it out and purchase several issues I was missing, as well as #39-40 to complete out TPB #8 but this is probably the quitting point for me again. It's Savage Dragon Wiki for the rest of the story.

   There's a sweet Hellboy crossover story, featuring a giant transient mummy, and an ape with Hitler's brain. Then there's a weird "Mars Attacks" story that races through it's single issue with the pace of a hummingbird, leaving us totally in the dark as to what happened or why at all. Then after getting fired from the force, Dragon, on his way to (view spoiler)[date rape (hide spoiler)] a random drunk woman, gets covered head to toe in (view spoiler)[human fecal matter (hide spoiler)] and proceed There's a sweet Hellboy crossover story, featuring a giant transient mummy, and an ape with Hitler's brain.

NOPE.

   An excellent continuation of superfreak / supercop Savage Dragon, and his battles against Chicago's criminal underworld, by the ever-impressive Erik Larsen. Excellent art and story throughout. Highly recommended! An excellent continuation of superfreak / supercop Savage Dragon, and his battles against Chicago's criminal underworld, by the ever-impressive Erik Larsen.
