Dragon’s Claws
(Marvel UK, 1988-1989)
™ and ©1988 Marvel Comics UK, Ltd.
Six thousand years in the future, the world is well down the road to destruction. The Earth has gradually moved closer and closer to the sun, causing the seas to dry up and threatening life everywhere. Unable to solve the world’s problems, the World Development Council came up with a brilliant distraction: a contest known simply as “the Game.”
Dragon’s Claws—Mercy, Digit, Steel, Scavenger, and their leader Dragon—were the premier players of the Game. But when the Game turned deadly, the team dropped out. Inevitably, the growing crisis drew the team back together. Only this time, they’re playing a game of their own!
In addition to the non-stop action of the Dragon’s Claws, this title is notable as the birthplace of the cyborg Death’s Head (later Death’s Head II).
