Keywords: Dragons. Magic. Knight. Sorcerer.
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".
