33 Years Ago: The Gathering was released. The first FR comic ever, it introduced Cybriana, Onyx the Invincible, Timoth Eyesbright, Vajra Valmeyjar and Priam Agrivar.

Some times I suspect Warner/DC and Disney/Marvel want a partnership with Hasbro/WotC about D&D but you can't please everyone, and intercompany crossovers are hard to reach a deal.

Onyx the dwarf, Timothy Brighteyes (centaur), Vajra (fighter, ex-gladiator), and Priam Agrivar (paladin).

Do I still have these somewhere...? starts rummaging

Neither. And yet... both at once!

If you're American maybe.

33 years ago I liked Buster, Beano, Whizzer and Chips, Commando, War and Battle.
