And a brief part of the novel occurs in New York City! But otherwise, the cover gives a completely misleading impression of the contents.

“Hey, Sherlock, I’m up here!”

Hm, skater girl has grown up. As has her dragon.

‘Nic fit, man. Be my bud and blow some of that in my face?’

“Dragon must pretend to be a skateboarder in 1980’s New York. Wacky hijinks ensue.”

There’s a tail sticking out of the second-storey window on the right. I’m intrigued as to whose it could be.

Sherlock must be looking for the missing exclamation point in the title.

I cry FOUL! Walter Velez is quite clearly copying his own dragon, as seen elsewhen on this site.

Aha, that detective is in fact “Sherlock Spock,” one very obscure Swedish cartoon character (not making this up!!)…

I’m not sure what inspired me to actually read these novels, because even as a kid, these kinds of covers threw me off. But I enjoyed them nonetheless, and they still have space on my shelves.
P.S. “Skateboard girl” is dead at this point of the novel, and most often manifests as the slightly crazy ghost of a dragon. ‘Cause, you know, who needs accuracy?
