Save or Die Episode 102: "Classic D&D Cartoons"

Ask anyone when they started reading Dragon magazine, and the answer will invariably be measured by which D&D comics were appearing in the magazine at that time. This episode, we share our personal favorites, talk about the rest, and let you know where these classic D&D comics can be found today.

I hated the comics in the early Dragon, and always skipped past them. I was a prig.

Great idea for a show!

[Vile Traveller]

The comics in the early Dragon were pants, but the ones in White Dwarf were superb. I always remember I started reading it from issue #45 because that was also the first appearance of the Travellers and Thrud the Barbarian - IIRC Gobbledigook started an issue or two before (#42?).

Thanks for the kind words...Though I must differ with you Vile; though we should've mentioned WD. I found Thrud hit or miss (though I loved the Kipling joke), and while Trav was pretty good Gob just left me cold. Maybe it was because the humor was too British and so hard for a Yank to get?

Must be - Gobbledigook had my group in stitches every month!

But I'll give you that point on Thrud, he wasn't consistently funny even though he was consistently player character-like.
