A small ink and half-tone film illustration of a Gingerbread Golem.  The art was originally created as an illustration for a monster created by Scott Johnson, a contributor to the magazine.  The art depicts a gingerbread cookie-shaped monster yanking a sword-wielding warrior off the ground before delivering a crumby coup de grace blow.  It was created while the artist worked on staff for Judges Guild.
Condition: The Bristol paper upon which the image is rendered has yellowed somewhat with age and handling.  There is a small tear in the upper left corner of the piece, along with several staple holes.  The back contains notes by the artist, an old price marking, and "J-31", Judges Guild�s inventory marking for the piece.
