"Todd Lockwood's cover illustration was destined to become a classic long before this issue (Dragon Magazine #258) went to press. It became an office favorite, providing me with a steady stream of visitors for the few days the painting remained in my office. With reluctance, I finally sent it off to the scanner department (where the image gained a new legion offans). Not long after, it was chosen to appear on a 1999 promotional calendar. This dramatic painting even inspired Bruce Cordell to write the main feature, detailing Todd's mechanical terrors and the Wizards who fight them. Todd created and illustrated additional sheens for the article."

The thessalhydra attacks with up to 8 heads, bites with a huge central mouth, grabs with its tail pincer to stuff victims into its mouth, and spits acid. Nope… 🖼️David Sutherland, AD&D Monster Manual II by Gary Gygax, TSR, 1983.

The 1983 D&D Basic Set gave us one of the most iconic fantasy paintings ever created. Larry Elmore’s original sketch included a wizard, a halfling, and a broader view of the dungeon. But Gary Gygax wanted something stronger. He cropped away everything except the confrontation. Suddenly it wasn’t a party adventure. It was one fighter standing alone against a dragon. For over forty years, generations of gamers looked at that cover and thought… “That’s me.” One fighter. One dragon. Roll initiative.

Before dark fantasy arrived in movies and video games, Esteban Maroto was already drawing it on paper. Esteban Maroto (Madrid, 1942) is one of the key figures of Spanish fantasy comics. He began his career in the 1960s and gained international recognition through series such as Cinco por Infinito, Wolff, The Tomb of the Gods, and Dragon’s Soul. His work became a regular feature in Warren Publishing’s Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella magazines, where he created more than a hundred stories and established himself as one of the publisher’s most recognizable artists. Maroto also left his mark on popular culture by designing Red Sonja’s famous chainmail bikini, an image that would define the character’s visual identity for decades. He later worked for Marvel and DC, illustrating characters such as Red Sonja, Satana, Zatanna, and Aquaman. Elegant linework, stylized figures, and worlds filled with fantasy, eroticism, and horror made Maroto one of the most influential visual voices in European and American comics during the 1970s and 1980s. ⚔️

Crom! And no Collection of Sonja artwork would be complete without Adam Hughes's classic "Slayboy" parody for Day 13 of #BikiniArmorMonth. Perhaps @BarbarianDisco should consider an alternate title for his upcoming publication, Mighty Thews!

Somewhere in 1985, a kid picked this up off a hobby shop shelf and immediately decided… “My fighter is becoming a samurai.” Jeff Easley had that effect on people. Cover for AD&D sourcebook Oriental Adventures.
