“Welcome to Basic Training.” Dungeons & Dragons in 1986

This comic book ad for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game (find at Amazon.com*) was burned so deep into my brain when I was a kid that I was sure I’d shared it here before. Nope. Looks like this is the first time I’ve posted this 1986 ad for the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set — the “red box” as the kids say — and I am now left asking myself: What other things do I think I’ve posted at the site are not actually anywhere at battlegrip.com? I’ll likely never answer that question, so instead let’s enjoy this ad and forget I said anything at all.
