I love comics. I love role-playing games. And, most of the time, I love comics about role-playing games.

The Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comics from the 1990s, the 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons comics from the 2010s, the various Baldur’s Gate tie-ins, and the assorted Pathfinder comics are all great reading to me. Unfortunately, many have forgotten about them, so this is my chance to showcase these fun tales to a new audience.
