Dragon is hospitalized after his confrontation with the new Super-Patriot. It is discovered that Dragon can regenerate damaged tissue at an amazing rate (he heals real fast). But he's not on his feet for long when he's inexplicably attacked by Badrock, the Boy of Stone. Why would Youngblood's resident strong guy attack an officer of the law? The answer may shock and, at the very least, amuse you. Dragon's story continues in Savage Dragon (1993- 2nd Series) #1. Cover price $1.95.
