BLOOD RED DRAGON (Image) #1 CGC 9.8 signed STAN LEE, TODD McFARLANE, & JON GOFF

Blood Red Dragon is a 2011 Comic Book venture between Stan Lee, Yoshiki Hayashi, Jonathan Goff, and Todd McFarlane. It's either a promotional piece or vanity comic for Yoshiki Hayashi and X Japan, or, if you choose a more idealistic view, a Life Embellished Author Avatar comic that just happens to feature Yoshiki as the main character and was promised to feature others at some point but never did.

The series lasted for 3 issues. According to the press release, Blood Red Dragon focuses on the origin of an ancient and benevolent force, locked in an epic battle with the dark armies of Oblivion.

Creative expression and destiny collide, as once in a generation an individual is born with the potential to unlock the awesome might of the Blood Red Dragon, thus channeling a power beyond comprehension and assuming the mantle of Earth's protector. When agents of Oblivion discover that the key to accessing the Blood Red Dragon's energy lays in music-the melodic heart of the human spirit, they launch a series of violent attacks on musicians across the globe. As he performs in front of a large crowd during the opening show of a massive world tour, drummer and keyboardist Yoshiki comes face-to-face with his destiny, experiencing a transformation that will forever change his life-and possibly the fate of the world. When asked about the series Todd McFarlane said.

Being able to collaborate with creators on a global level is always a thrill. Working with two big names, like Yoshiki and Stan Lee, I hope I'm able to add a little bit of my touch to a book that my, Stan's, but most importantly Yoshiki's fans will enjoy. At the same time, I hope this book helps introduce Yoshiki to fans that don't know him on American shores.
