Well, dragon. So yeah.

Well, it looks like a dragon on an Apollo spacecraft… no, I’m sorry, that’s the Prague city hall.
Is that a blow up of an old newspaper clipping?
Reading the synopsis at Wikipedia, I am not finding a literal dragon in Hour of the Dragon (Conan the Conqueror). I think Conan was a member of the Dragon Legion who were soldiers of Valusia, or something.
And do you really think whoever threw together this abomination bothered to read it, or even knows the name Conan?
Knowing the shabby treatment by self-published “editors” of works that have gone public domain, I think the cover “creator” recognized the word “dragon” and had no other guidance.
Given the usual treatment of public domain works, we’re probably lucky that this guy knew what a dragon was and didn’t try to put a stegosaurus or something on there.
At least they didn’t use a photo of Conan O’Brien.
I think this must be a still from a movie or show, but I’ll be damned if I care enough to look for which one.
This is a still from one of the Harry Potter films. I think it’s the last one where a dragon escapes from a magical bank. So it’s pilfered from one of the biggest franchises around.
Hrmm… that looks like a scene out of the TV series “Once Upon a Time”!
