If I were reading The Savage Dragon for the first time today, this might not be a 5-star review... But with hindsight and nostalgic feelings towards one of my nerdy teenage endeavors, it still kicks ass.
The Dragon is super strong, has wolverine-like healing skills, pinpoint sharpshooter accuracy... And chooses to be a police officer.
Not to mention his upper body is crazy out of proportion, he has that fin on his bald green head (though still has a hairy chest/legs) and is still a ladies man.
Plus the "super freak" villains in these books are so totally over the top. The whole thing is like the ultimate super hero guilty pleasure on steroids.
Over 10 years later, and I still love it.
It will remain to be seen how much further I go into the story when I get back through all of my archives though...

I'm not sure why I never read any Savage Dragon when it first came out. I didn't read a ton of Image stuff back then in general. I've been going through this whole Image read lately and this book was next on my list. I liked it. It was a fun read. It is a good beginning for the series.
