I'm on a Bill Willingham kick at the moment, and I'm not having any luck finding a comprehensive collection of his early DnD images. At the moment, Reints has the most (bless his heart.) Anyone know of more? |

Thanks!

Here's a thread with a few pieces (with one "interesting" piece...) I'm no prude, believe me, but help a fellow gamer out and just say flat out the link is NSFW or possibly NSFW. Please? I sometimes do a bit of quick surfing at work. ;D |

Oh yeah! That's what I'm talking about! I'd forgotten that one, too! Exalt!
I'm pretty sure I made at least one character based on the guy in the middle. I loved that sword...

@scaly - that is a great piece - never seen it! I have to say Bill Willingham is my favorite old school artist. Prefer him to Erol Otus - sacrilege, I know... My personal fave is the interior cover piece from Moldvay Basic.  |

Another nice Willingham that is pretty obscure is the dragon/wizard battle from the "Your Personal Invitation to Adventure" flyer: YPITA |

So, Kesher, have you ever met him? He was here, you know. Last spring, at Springcon.
I didn't get close to his table, but I didn't have anything for him to sign (and I can never think of questions to ask guys like that, anyway) so I didn't try real hard.

machfront. I have a copy of YPITA. I'll scan the cover when I have some time. Willingham's stuff is all over the place in TSR stuff from the time period, including some obscure spots (boardgames, Dragon magazine articles, etc).

I've never heard of that flyer - I'd love to see the whole thing if you get a chance to scan it all and share it someplace dark. How long is it?
Another neat piece, I agree.

[/IMG][/quote] Did you notice Captain America's shield, Magneto's helmet, and Spider-Man's symbol on the chest to the viewer's lower left? |

Added a few more to the list, including the B3 title page (one of my favorites) and the D1-2 back cover posted by scalyd.

I don't know if you can make the case that the spiders are the same as the insignia on Spider-Man's chest, though the design between them is very reminiscent of his mask. Also, that is Iron-Man's (MK III) helmet in the chest under Cap's shield, not Magneto's. |
