Wandering Adventure Party

@Printdevil @Taskerland fantastic

One from the vaults! 1959 brought a kaiju attack on London in The Giant Behemoth, which featured a giant radioactive saurian brought to life by Willis O'Brien, the man who made King Kong.

One from the vaults! 1977 the first Advanced Dungeons and Dragons book appeared - the Monster Manual. The year after brought us the Players Handbook and then in 1979 The Dungeon Masters Guide establishing a brand new set of rules!

Time to dive into one of my Christmas pressies!

@Taskerland Ballentine had had a big success with their classic fantasy line, which included HPL's Dream quest, going with another Dreamlands story as the lead makes sense

@Taskerland I've always wondered about that... Possibly a favourite of Lin Carter

One from the vaults! In the early 1970s Ballentine Books brought Lovecraft to a wider audience with mass market paperback editions of his works

One from the vaults! In the mid 1940s, Bart House Books brought Lovecraft to paperback for the first time with two collections - The Weird Shadow Over Innsmouth and other stories of the supernatural in 1944, and The Dunwich Horror in 1945

One from the vaults! The only proper book published in Lovecraft’s lifetime was a hardback edition of The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Published in 1936 by the small press the Visionary Publishing Company, it had a print run of only 200 copies with a cover by Frank Upatel

One from the October vaults! Even the Caped Crusader wasn't immune to the perils of Halloween as we discovered in Batman #352 in 1982
