Dwarves by David Sutherland from OD&D Supplement 2: Blackmoor, 1975 (top) and the AD&D Monster Manual, 1977 (bottom). Sutherland redrew a lot of his OD&D illustrations for AD&D.

OK, so not an RPG. Space Marines (1980) is a set of rules for military science fiction wargaming from Fantasy Games Unlimited. It is exactly as complex and kind of tedious as you’re imaging. Well, not entirely — it has a pretty good sense of humor actually, judging from the wide array of silly aliens you can play. There’s lots of human factions, reptile aliens, giant bugs. There’s bear people who have a constitutional monarchy and dog people who have a representative democracy. The bird people are oligarchs, the cat people have a feudal system. Kind of love all them.
Two reasons I trot this out. First, the cover art is by Jeff Dee and all the interiors are by Dave Sutherland, two early, classic D&D illustrators. It’s particularly unusual to see Sutherland straying out of the TSR offices.
Second is that this is clear proof that there were space marines in RPGs and wargames long before 40k. That’s pretty obvious (the term has actually been around since at least the 1940s) but bears reiterating, since some Games Workshop cease-and-desist always seems to be claiming the contrary.

As someone who has been a fan of the Beano since they were a little kiddo, I was really upset to hear of the passing of one of my favourite artists, David Sutherland.
His drawings and comics have a very special place in my childhood, I grew up reading the Bash Street Kids every week and collecting past comics and Beano books that he made art for.
He illustrated for the Beano for just over 60 years and his art has brought smiles to generations of kids and personally, has helped me learn to read and inspired me to create.
He was a very special man to so many people.

If I Ran the Zoo: Monster Manual Minis, pt. 1
As you may be aware, WizKids is releasing a set of miniatures called Dungeons & Dragons Classic Collection: Monsters A-C, that contains eight minis based on creature designs from the original AD&D Monster Manual. A-C is an odd place to divide, and that suggests that they’re planning a lot more of these, assuming that the first set sells well enough (and at $100 a box, it’s clearly a bit of a gamble). So, because I have Thoughts about what monsters they should make (and love talking about old monster art in general), I have compiled some ideas for what WizKids should include in future sets.
Monsters D-F
Sort of cheating with the title, because F is a very empty letter in the original AD&D Monster Manual. They could do a Frog, Giant. Or a Fungus, Violet. But that’s about it.
Demogorgon, Prince of Demons
Type III Demon (Glabrezu)
Bone Devil
Devil, Geryon
I am limiting myself with demons and devils here; you could theoretically do a set with just these. Demogorgon is an obvious shoo-in; with Stranger Things, Demogorgon is more high profile than ever. Geryon I picked because he actually has stats in D&D 5e, unlike the other MMI arch-devils, and his design has changed a little, but remains basically the same. The Type III Demon and Bone Devil are the most striking of the non-unique demon and devil images, respectively.
Displacer Beast
Another shoo-in. The presence of the beholder and carrion crawler in the A-C set suggest to me that they’re going to make a mini for each “product identity” monster from the MMI.
Doppelganger
A bit of a weird pull, but look at his stride! Look at his panache! Look at his oddly shaped skull!
Dragon, Red
The name of the game is Dungeons & Dragons, so they gotta include one. The Red Dragon is the most iconic of the colored dragon designs, and has often been used as a sort of “mascot” for D&D in general. The problem is, the MMI illustration is kind of doofy. I suspect that they’re going to use the design from the MMI cover instead:
Efreet
Another case where there’s a more memorable image in the same edition to pull from. The cover of the Dungeon Master’s Guide has a great efreet on it, and that’s what I think will be the basis for the miniature:
Monsters G-L
Stone Giant
There has to be a giant, especially since WoTC is planning a giant-themed book to come out soon. Of the MMI giants, the stone giant has the best look.
Stone Golem
Same as the stone giant; a classic category of monsters with this as the coolest looking one. Alternatively, if having so many “stone” themed monsters seems redundant, an iron golem would be my runner up choice.
Gorgon
A surprisingly iconic D&D monster; gorgons show up everywhere in AD&D 1st and 2nd edition. Like the basilisk and cockatrice, they’re based on a bestiary monster (in this case, Topsell’s History of Four-Footed Beasts).
Griffon
This one is really for the compare and contrast. The 5e griffon looks like a more naturalistic hybrid of lion and eagle; the AD&D griffon is straight out of heraldry. Plus it’s another classical bestiary monster.
Intellect Devourer
The spookiest piece of art in the Monster Manual. Plus, WizKids would save some plastic by making a Small mini.
Ki-Rin
The art is striking, and the ki-rin is the cover model of Mordenkainen’s Monsters of the Multiverse. This is another one where the compare/contrast aspect might be fun; WizKids already has a miniature of the 5e ki-rin design.
Lamia
Of the “sexy lady who is also a monster” monsters in the MMI (and there’s a lot of them), this is the one I think has the best shot of being turned into a miniature. Unlike the dryad, nymph or sylph, she actually looks monstrous. Unlike the succubus and the gynosphinx, her hair in the original pose can easily cover nipples. The hind legs, with their scales and hooves, are different enough from the 5e design to make a miniature interesting
Lich
Of all of the undead, this is the one that’s the most specifically D&D, the one least likely to be encountered in groups, and has some of the coolest art. Skeletons, zombies and ghouls can be found en masse from a dozen different companies. David A Trampier’s lich is distinct.

David C. Sutherland's iron golem illustration from the AD&D Monster Manual seems to owe more than just a little inspiration to Ray Harryhausen's Thalos the giant bronze golem from Jason and the Argonauts, as does the gargantuan iron golem from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon episode Beauty and the Bogbeast… and that rocks hard like heavy metal should, on THAC0 Thursday!!

HORRIBLE BOSSES
I just watched this film. It’s the story of three friends, Kurt, Nick, and Dale. When the film begins, Nick and Dale hate their jobs. Nick’s boss treats him like crap while making him think he’s going to get a promotion, and Dale’s female boss is sexually harassing him. Kurt’s the only one who likes his job, but then his boss suddenly dies and his boss’s degenerate cocaine-using son takes over…

Unicorn and rider (David Sutherland, I believe, from Dungeons & Dragons, Supplement II: Blackmoor by Dave Arneson, TSR, 1975) While most of Sutherland's illustrations were signed, there seem to be some details here that he would refine in his later illustration for the 1977 AD&D Monster Manual, in the unicorn's bearded face and the suggestion of a chunk of grassy earth with a steep edge.

Fan Art Friday - Annie, Dennis and Hirschfeld
This week #FanArtFriday features Little Orphan Annie and her dog Sandy, and they're celebrating their creator, Harold Gray, on what would've been his 129th birthday, and Dennis the Menace (UK) and his dog Gnasher, and they're celebrating the life and legacy of one of their creators, David Sutherland OBE.
This artwork was done in the style of the late Al Hirschfeld (hopefully), who passed away on this day in 2003.
