      Clyde Caldwell did a lot of the art for old DnD cRPGs and has a webbed sight still up.

        BRMC is under the same Ballad health umbrella. 29 counties, and two hospitals just went down?

      The reason it was Conan magazine and not comic was so they could get away with violence and nudity in the world of the comics code authority

      looking at the illustration, i was thinking the same. These shouldn’t have been accessible to 7 y.o. me

      I’ve “read” them all 🤷

        What’s the fuss about a little gore and dismemberment and decapitation and torture anyway? Not like kids were told that some people of the female persuasion… * psst * have nipples too.
