"One world is the planet he called home in the original Image Universe! The other is the war-torn Savage World, the result of a devastating domino effect created when the Savage Dragon killed a deadly time-traveling foe! The Dragon must choose to return to the Savage World he unwittingly created or stay forever in the world he called home! Torn between those he loves most and his responsibility to a world he made! It's a tale of triumph and tragedy as only Erik Larsen could tell it! Savage Dragon's creator Erik Larsen pencils the entire quadruple-sized issue. The lead story is inked by Larsen himself (gotta keep that run intact) and the back up stories are inked by a veritable who's who of comic book inking superstars! Terry Austin, Walt Simonson, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jerry Ordway, Sam Keith, Al Gordon and more lend their formidable talents to make this the greatest anniversary issue of all time!
