Synopsis: Kiss the frog variation. A handsome knight has been spelled to be a dragon. A girl kisses him but instead of changing the dragon she becames by herself one of them. A sorcerer on the other hand spells two dragons totally into world of dragons, where a butt naked girl promises to kiss them to better world.
Comment: Very good color artwork. Greg Moech's story has interesting variations, but lacks of good ending. All reprints have a little different colors: The Odd Comic World is nearest to the original, Complete Works has industrial like and Den totally new (more darker) colors. Dancing girl remainds the girl in "Horrible Harvey's House!".
Extra: In an interview with Doug Moench (in The Warren Companion (2001), pg 122) he says that this story was the all time Corben favourite, and it was translated "in every country on Earth".
