Again making use of Marvel Comics great stable of artists and writers we get a third in the group of four AD&D coloring books, although I still do not understand why they are branded as AD&D rather than just D&D, seeing as they are clearly tie-ins to the world of the TV show which is just branded as D&D. Anyway, that’s nitpicking.

Another thing I find interesting in these books is the fact that they exist in a parallel continuity to the TV show, or maybe even as prequels. They feature plenty of secondary characters from the series (Warduke, Kelek and Strongheart) but none of the main cast, none of the kids are here or Venger, Dungeon Master or Tiamat. I guess there’s a reason for this and that is the fact that these coloring books are directly related to the toy line produced by LJN in 1983 which does not include any of those main characters as well, but does include Warduke, Kelek and Strongheart. If you ask me it was a lost opportunity but oh well, what do I know from Marketing? 

Anyway there you go! Hope you enjoy it.
