I first read “Damsel in Dragon Dress” in the trade-paperback collection, The Odd Comic World of Richard Corben, which I purchased new, back in high school, from a “Captain Company” advertisement in either Creepy or Eerie, I forget which… it was a long time ago… but I still have my original copy of that book, along with very nice backup copy that I bought on ebay years later…
