A "Dungeons & Dragons" Adventure - Comic Book Back Cover Ad

On the back of one of my comics - ROM: Spaceknight issue #28, March 1982, I found this advertisement for Dungeons & Dragons drawn by Bill Willingham.

As always, these are pretty goofy. Mysterious powers, an easily-scared (and easily-comforted) elf, a dragon-scaring sword, not a lot accomplished. At least there is a dungeon and a dragon.


The great sword Naril indeed. Just bite him, dragon, he's got like AC 4. And nothing more comforting after a red dragon nearly roasts you than relaxing by a warm fire, eh?

  1. Bah, cheesecake in an adventuring party always annoyed me. The fems should be just as well armored as their male counterparts.

    Cheese/beefcake art? Yeah fine, but if you're depicting a group that is doing serious adventuring business, drop the cake (this of course doesn't apply to barbarians, barbarians are of course 99% cake).
