savage dragon #269

Alright, listen up. I’m gonna tell ya about this fella, Savage Dragon. Yeah, Savage Dragon. Don’t ask me why they call him that, sounds silly to me, but that’s what they call him.

This Dragon guy, he’s strong, real strong. Like, punchin’ through walls strong. You know, like those fellas on the TV who lift them weights? He’s stronger than them, way stronger. They say he can lift, uh, what was it? Thirty-somethin’ tons. Imagine that! Thirty-somethin’ tons! I ain’t never seen nothin’ like that. And fire? Doesn’t bother him none. Just bounces right off. Like water off a duck’s back, you know?

They say he’s tough as nails too. Bullets? Don’t do nothin’. Just bounce off. Though, I heard tell if someone strong enough, like one of them super-people, stabbed him with a knife, well, that might do somethin’. But ain’t many folks that strong, I reckon.

• Strong like bull
• Fire don’t hurt him
• Bullets bounce off

Now, get this. This Dragon guy, he wasn’t always who he is. Turns out, he used to be some kinda mean emperor, a bad guy named Kurr. Led some folks in a big ol’ spaceship, flyin’ around lookin’ for a new place to live. Imagine that! An emperor turnin’ into this Dragon fella. Crazy, right?

But that ain’t the end of it. There’s this other fella, Malcolm Dragon. This Dragon’s kid, I think. He’s got his own team now, fightin’ bad guys. They call ’em the “Vicious Fishes” or somethin’. Sound like a bunch of troublemakers to me. They’re fightin’ underwater, in the “Seven Seas” they say. How they breathe down there, I don’t know. Must be somethin’ special about ’em.

So, this Malcolm fella and his team, they’re fightin’ these fish-people. Probably causin’ a ruckus, you know how these young folks are. Always gettin’ into trouble. But I reckon they’re doin’ good, fightin’ bad guys and all. Someone’s gotta do it, right?

There’s this book, a comic book they call it, about this Dragon fella and his kid. It’s called “Savage Dragon,” real original, ain’t it? This issue, the one they’re talkin’ about, number 269, it’s got Malcolm and his team fightin’ the fishes. You can buy it online, they say. Half off, even. If you’re into that kinda thing. Pictures and stories about super-powered folks. Me? I’d rather read the newspaper, but to each their own, I always say.

So there ya have it. That’s what I know about Savage Dragon and his kid. Strong fellas, fightin’ bad guys. Not my cup of tea, but hey, someone’s gotta do it. Now, where did I put my glasses? I gotta find that coupon for the grocery store…
