Looking for an Illustration

[Abraxas]

In one of the old D&D books there is an illustration of a wizard holding a wand with a mushroom cloud explosion in the background - does anyone else remember it and if so know what book it is in?

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

Color or B&W? Do you remember how big it was? Any detail about the appearance of the wizard perhaps?

It doesnt ring a bell, and I have a lot of books...

It's a black and white line drawing - the wizard was grinning and the caption read "I love this wand". It was about 4"x4".

1e PH or 1e DMG. 90% sure.

(Unfortunately the phrase "I love this wand" returns a lot of Harry Potter related hits; otherwise this would be a simple web search.)

 

[Abraxas]

Tell me about it

I've already paged through my 1E DMG, now i have to find and look through the 1E PHB. Hope it's there...

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

Sorry man, it isn't in the AD&D 1st ed PHB either.

I've also gone through the BECMI boxes and didn't see it there.

Good luck with the search!

That was a Dragonmirth comic drawn by Aaron Williams. I don't know the issue number.

 

[Joshua Randall]

Sorry to have steered you wrong. That's why I put the "90%" out there.

Well, that's gonna take even more time to track down the darn thing Oh, well, I have to straighten out my gaming stuff anyways...

 

[Marius Delphus]

I'm pretty sure we're talking late 80s or early 90s, and I mean year, not issue number.
