I was considering that one, so I sez it is a dragon.  I read and enjoyed that comic when it first came out, but it wasn't until about ten years later when I read an excellent fantasy novel called The Book of the Dun Cow in which the dreadful antagonist is named Wyrm that I realized that "worm" (originally "wyrm") was an Old English word for a legless, wingless dragon. Shakespeare often uses the word "worm" to mean snake, notably in Antony and Cleopatra. Ooh I remember that book! Based on the tale of Chanticleer, as I recall. |

Like MDG I'm in with Corben..  This was actually the first I thought of, but thought I might have to hide it behind a "spoiler" click due to {Spoiler: Click to show}Tits! |

I thought it was a great book, beautifuuly written, with allusions to mythology, the Bible and medieval beast fables. Taught it many times to ninth graders, and I never failed to be moved by its honesty. |

Thor #380 was my first choice (glad to see it appear here) so I picked an earlier battle between these mighty opponents!  |

 For a thread about Dragons there is far too little Dungeons & _ here. |

I looked up that cover, it was done by Joe Doolin, a Pulp artist turned comic pro who I had not heard of. I searched his work. Damn fine artist. |

It never fails how well dressed and classy all the ladies of Planet Comics are no matter what precarious situation they might be in. |

A lot of great choices, but it comes down to three for me...codystarbuck, Rob Allen and brianf. Time to pull out the randomizer... and it's telling me brianf gets the vote. -M |
