The last few days I was reading some of the original Richard Dragon comics from the '70s, which of course feature Lady Shiva. Frankly I find Shiva a far more interesting character in them than Dragon even given the limits of '70s era comics. Dragon comes across as flat compared to the smartassness of Shiva. She tells Dragon she hangs out with him because he's always getting into trouble, which I can totally believe because he's not much personalitywise. I get the impression Marty Pasko, who wrote those comics, liked Shiva a lot more than he did Dragon.
