So we come to the month of October 1987, and with it we reach one of the most iconic of Dragon magazine covers, this time by Daniel Horne and it is a fitting cover for a special issue on the undead! As usual Dragon has special Halloween issues and this year is no exception, with a bunch of horror themed content. 

This theme includes some pretty cool art to illustrate articles, some of which I’m sharing here and some which will come on the next post, under the heading The Dead of Night we get three large articles on Vampires, weapons suitable for the undead and a smattering of monsters for your gaming pleasure.

However, the horror content is not confined to the special feature, the Ecology article covers another frightening being with The Ecology of the Shade and the rest of the magazine keeps up with the theme, with even the articles on the Marvel RPG covering Marvel Vampires and monsters. A fun issue with a truly iconic cover!
