The Kids Present Comics Archeology - Appendix N - Dungeons & Dragons' Influence On Comics

Welcome to Comics Archeology! What started out as a segment during our reviews of graphic novels has now turned into a series and to start us off we will be doing a deep dive into Appendix N this month. In our first episode we asked the question 'What is Appendix N?'.  In this concluding episode of the series we chronicle D&D's influence on comics from strips in Dragon Magazine, to D&D comics ads, to the Dungeons & Dragons animated series, to Dragonlance Saga graphic novels, and finally to the  launch of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comics. We hope you enjoy this latest exploration! Please drop us a message on the anchor app or send us an mp3 or email to [email protected].
