Giant Box of Comics Breaks the Law! - Dungeons & Dragons, one last time.

I've shared bits of this final series on the GBoC Tumblr, but I recently found more, and I think all, of it. So here is the longest of the stories. I think it must also be the oldest. I have some of these strips in my Doctor Who Weeklys from 1979 or so. These definitely predate the more sophisticated Epic Illustrated comics, though we do see the quality of art improve as the story moves on.

If anyone knows if the story continues, if you have some that I'm missing, I'd love to see it. Please feel free to get in touch at damabupuk (at) gmail (dot) com.

I'm not sure what becomes of our intrepid crew...but perhaps that's the point.

The last two Epic Illustrated strips are the beginning of a story entitled "Quest Through the Savage Country." I've only been able to locate these two installments.

These are from the June and August 1982 issues of the magazine.

One of my earliest memories of Dungeons & Dragons is the comic strip ads that ran in such publications as Doctor Who Weekly, or in the occasional superhero comics I picked up in my very early youth. As I've been going through the collection, as with the Earth-H stuff, I've been coming across whole storylines in these ads. I hadn't realized there was a story there. So, in the interest of sharing, here's some D'n'D comics. There's a few discrete stories, so I'll spread them out. And, of course, I'm still trying to track down what I can.

(Hey, Wizards of the Coast, if you own the rights to these, sorry, I'm not trying to piss you off. And if you want to publish them, I'd be happy to write an introduction to the volume for you!)

 

These comics are scanned from Epic Illustrated Magazine August, October, and December 1981 and February, April, June, and  August 1982. As far as I know this constitutes a full storyline.
