Looking for an OLD drawing of Orcus


Dragon Magazine General Discussion


I'm pretty sure it appeared in an issue of Dragon from the early eighties (although it MAY have been in one of the 1st edition AD&D manuals). It was a spectacular full page B&W and showed Orcus on a throne apparently deciding the fate of a female captive. I think it may have accompanied an article about Hell. Orcus looked just like he did in David C. Sutherland's original MM pic, and I think Sutherland may have drawn this one as well. Does anybody know where I can find this? Thanks!!

Agent,

The picture you seek is in Dragon #42, page 5 to be exact. It accompanies an article entitled "Demons, devils, and Spirits." This was the first copy of Dragon I ever purchased!


Scylla, many thanks. I used to have a collection that started about the same time, but years ago in a fit of (circle one) generosity / madness gave it all away. I'll have to hunt down that issue!
