Dungeons & Dragon print ad of 1981

I love how the wizard says "Don't touch it!" as he reaches toward it.

This looks like it may have been drawn by J.D. Webster (who did the "Fineous Fingers" comic in early issues of The Dragon). I don't remember ever seeing this one specifically in a comic-book back then (I wasn't a big comics-reader) but I do remember seeing at least 2 of the others posted in the link above, #3 and #8.

I think Bill Willingham did some of the others like the one I have. He went on to create The Elementals and now writes DC's Fables series.

Here you go- a much better (ie, readable) quality scan of the series:

Dungeons & Dragons Adventures

Funny- when the group is first assembled, Grimslade has light brown hair and beard, but now he's bald and has gray hair. Either they've all been adventuring a long time together, or else Grimslade isn't aging well!

Excellent - thanks Drew.

Apparently, the answer was, "Yes, the end of their quest DID lie there."

Arent they good!!

no wonder i got drawn in and hooked to rpging 25 years ago

Nice they didnt kill the druidy chap, even if he did have a werewolf companion.

An adventurers life seemed so much simpler then...

"Look out-- it's dripping!"

Hard to believe that line didn't make it into the D&D movie.

That line shows up in other movies, none of which are appropriate to mention here, IYKWIMAITYD...
