It’s been an eventful weekend for comic book covers from Image, and now over on his Twitter, original Image co-founder, and The Savage Dragon creator/writer/artist has revealed the image for his upcoming ‘Not Safe For Work’ explicit cover for the over-sized issue #225.
A censored version of the NSFW Savage Dragon cover by @krashzzone has found its way onto the Internet. It looks hilarious as censored. pic.twitter.com/B7MWB7a0yL

Larsen also spoke to ComicBookResources.com and had a few things to say about the image:
Sometimes I do things just because it amuses me. Image has done a few NSFW covers of late, and while they certainly qualify as NSFW, they haven’t been especially raunchy. The thought of some reader unwrapping this from its plastic sheath and doing a spit-take makes me laugh. I love comics—all comics. Every kind of comic book. If it’s well done, you can count me in as a fan. Love the underground comics from the ’60s and ’70s. Love European comics. I love a good superhero comic. I love a good horror comic. I love a good fantasy comic. I love a good Western comic. I love a good sex comic. I love a good comic—period. Love ‘em all.
You can head over to CBR to read the rest of his statements. The solicitation for Savage Dragon #225 reads:
In “The Merging of Multiple Earths,” SAVAGE DRAGON boasts a giant-sized 25th anniversary special that fans won’t want to miss out on. The Dragon is restored to his former glory as he bulks up to take on Darklord in a final battle! Mr. Glum’s devious plot to merge the multiverse comes to its cataclysmic conclusion!
