I *loved* Snarfquest, and was bitterly disappointed by the ending. But I
can see how such a long-running comic saga could have burned Larry out.
Sadly, I gave all my issues of Dragon to my sister...
What I really looked forward to reading, however, was Wormy. The art was
simply incredible! Not too long ago, someone had the entire series scanned
and available at:

...but TSR's lawyers yanked it down. >:-( I'd really like to know what
happened to Trampier... TSR has (1) a way of bumping all the good people
off the employee lists...
And then there's Yamara. Wow, what a halfling babe! :-, I have the comic
compilation that Steve Jackson Games published, and it gets read regularly.
When I stopped reading Dragon, they were doing another color epic comic that
I really liked. I forget its title. It had to do with this guy from our
world, mystically transported to the fairie world in search of his ex-wife
and daughter, etc. It was really decent IMHO.
All around, good stuff. If-and-when I DM a D&D game again, I will borrow
heavily from all these comics! :-,

1. Should this be "had a way"? I heard a rumour that Wizards of the Coast
bought TSR and prompty re-hired Gary Gygax! And I saw that Diane Duane --
of Star Trek script fame -- has authored a TSR novel! Truly, this could be
a bright moment in the multiverse!
