PREVIEW: THE SCALE TRADE #1

In a modern-day world one step removed from our own, dragons are a highly respected—and highly endangered—species, but poaching is an existential threat. When a young idealist joins the federal agency tasked with managing dragon populations, he quickly discovers that the entire system is corrupt. After seeing firsthand the cruelty of the system, our newly radicalized dragon savior takes matters into his own hands! For fans of Jurassic Park and Training Day, The Scale Trade #1 begins May 1st, with each issue featuring a variant cover by Max Dunbar (Dungeons & Dragons)!

The first issue also features a variant cover by legendary artist Walter Simonson, with Eisner Award-winning colorist Laura Martin. Other variant cover artists include Ariel Olivetti, Riley Rossmo, and Dave McCaig. Pick it up at your LCS on May 1st, and look for the start of this fantastic series on GlobalComix in two weeks!
