Comic Redux: D&D Advert

Welcome fans of Greyhawk! It's time to dig back into my long shut down Greyhawk Comic archives and have some fun. Here is one from several years ago. If anyone remembers these ads, you're in for a treat because this comic was the first in a series I did using the Greyhawk gods as characters in the ongoing story...

"This week I was thumbing through my collection of classic Mighty Thor comics and came across this print ad. You have to see it to believe it... 
More at the bottom. Enjoy.

"Wow when it comes to treasure seeking that Boccob is a real jerk eh? The following parody comic really is from TSR's old print ads that appeared in many comics way back when. The ads were an ongoing storyline that abruptly ended after eight episodes. I have no idea who drew the first installment, but the rest are clearly by classic D&D illustrator Bill Willingham. Those were good times."

I love the explanation for why Heironeous changed his favored weapon.

I loved seeing these in my comic books, back in the day!

MP: Yeah I never liked that he was switched to a sword in 3E

Scott: Ditto. Those ads directly led to me buying the game.
