'Dragon' was one of the comics that depicted President-elect Obama on its cover when the Savage Dragon endorsed him.

(Editor's note: There is more!)

Readers of the Savage Dragon who were looking to be surprised are like "Hey, isn't that the Dragon back in his police uniform?"

Yes it is. So the hero is not only tapped to do some sort of task for the new President, he is also back with the police force. Creator Erik Larsen told the Chicago Tribune that it has been more than 12 years since his character has been on the force. (I can't believe it's been that long!)

"What I hadn't counted on was just how much readers identified him as a police officer," Larsen told the Tribune.

Issue #145 of "The Savage Dragon" will be on sale in February just in time for the new president to give fin-head his orders.
