[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 7973664, member: 27780"] [b][u]The Polyhedron Issue 8: Sep/Oct 1982[/u][/b] part 1/4 16 pages. In it's short history so far, Polyhedron has already done more gangster covers than Dragon did. But will the insides actually have anything to back that up this time around, or will it be more flights of fantasy and literal airplane flights. Let's see what fruits this particular autumn has to reap. ESP: Mary Kirchoff takes her first editorial, and straight away, changes the title to an acronym that's also a pun.
