33 years ago. I think I might have this one somewhere. Anyone remember it?

33 Years Ago: The Gathering was released. The first FR comic ever, it introduced Cybriana, Onyx the Invincible, Timoth Eyesbright, Vajra Valmeyjar and Priam Agrivar.

The Gathering is the first issue of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comics series set in the Forgotten Realms and published by DC Comics. It was written by Michael Fleisher and Jan Duursema, drawn by Duursema, and edited by Barbara Kesel. It introduced the heroes of the series: Cybriana of...

I remember Priam Agrivar from the later FR comic series. Loved that one.

I feel I can take a guess what kind of comics the illustrator normally worked on.

Considering comics at the time were 99% superheroes, it's not a hard guess to make.

Some times I suspect Warner/DC and Disney/Marvel want a partnership with Hasbro/WotC about D&D but you can't please everyone, and intercompany crossovers are hard to reach a deal.

What about a mash-up fusing Legion of Superheroes and Spelljammer?

Lemme think...

Onyx the dwarf, Timothy Brighteyes (centaur), Vajra (fighter, ex-gladiator), and Priam Agrivar (paladin).

And the half-elf girl was... Kirianna? At the start, anyway. Then she joined her dark half and became Kyra. Or was it the other way around?

Do I still have these somewhere...? starts rummaging

It'd be cool if some of these characters end up in the Forgotten Realms Commander Legends: Battle For Baldur's Gate MtG set.

If you're American maybe.

33 years ago I liked Buster, Beano, Whizzer and Chips, Commando, War and Battle.

Aged 8-10 found the superhero and GI Joe comics to be erm
