January 16, 2002: Superman & Savage Dragon
Comics Continuum reports that Eric Larsen's half of the "Savage Dragon/Superman" crossover first announced in 1999 will finally arrive in stores in April 2002."Superman & Savage Dragon: Chicago" will be a 48-page Prestige Format one-shot written and drawn by Larsen and inked by Al Gordon. The cover will be pencilled by Larsen and painted by Alex Ross (shown to the right).
Here's the official description from DC Comics:
"It's the over-muscled match-up you thought you'd never see again! We've witnessed the Man of Steel working side-by-side with Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon before in the Superman & Savage Dragon: Metropolis one-shot. But that wasn't the first time these two titanic heroes met!
"A heaping helping of Metropolis heavies - including Metallo, Brainiac and Silver Banshee - have hightailed it to the Windy City to join forces with the Savage Dragon's major group of foes, the Vicious Circle. With such a united force of nasties on hand causing mayhem, the City of Tomorrow may not have a tomorrow. Now Superman must form an uneasy alliance with the Savage Dragon to rid two cities of two sets of super-villains! Just who is behind this riotous rampage that wrecks two towns? The answer will surprise you."
