ARCHON: BATTLE OF THE DRAGON - FIVE ISSUE MINI-SERIES
Sometimes in Las Vegas, you get burned. In 1981 the city is changing. The Mafia is being pushed off the Strip and big corporations with their Mega-Resorts are replacing them. But something new and mysterious is also moving in. Gareth Thompson, a Vietnam veteran and single father, has just accepted a Security Job at the new fantasy-themed Hotel and Casino, “The Archon.” On his first day he discovers his co-workers are not simply people in costumes but actual creatures of Myth and Legend hiding in plain sight. Tasked with concealing their true existence from the human world Gareth’s job becomes even more complicated when an overzealous Rastafarian Wizard and his partner, a Federal Knight, investigate possible misdeeds. Everyone has a secret at the Archon. It's a world where Dwarves are bartenders, Gnomes are valets, Elves are accountants, Dragons are Wall Street hustlers and everyone, human or other, is looking for a slice of the American Dream.
