Just a quick observation on this. Brad Schenck could have done the cartography for the module. DCS III was a TSR artist, but if you look at several modules he did work on, he only did the cartography work. Just a thought.

Just a thought. go up a few posts to the one with the scanned map page by mbassoc2003 *look* at the Morno 75-76, then look up at rooms "7" and "53" the 7 and the 5 are almost identical, and the map has a similar hatch-work to the border art. I'd bet that the border art and the architectural lines of the maze were drawn at the same time and the grid was a secondary thought, hence it not lining up with those lines. What Forum does Gary Gygax post too?
Fourth Printing. Copyrighted in 1977, this book comes as standard size paper with printing on one side only, and stapled together with the envelope. Thus, to really use the book, you have to take it apart. The cover is a yellowish cardboard paper similar to the one used in the Collector's edition reprint of the D&D rules, and comes with artwork by Morno (the guy who made the cover of Dragon #6 - his real name is Brad Schenk). The monochrome painting depicts the Vampire Queen with two further undead critters at her side. Printing color is a brownish hue. Interior artwork is by Morno, too, and copyrighted 1975-76. You will also find mention of Wee Warriors other releases in the book itself. I may mention that this release is nothing else than editions one, two, or three diminished to half printing size and bound in a half-size book.
From around 1976 to the late 1980's I divided my time between commercial art, on the one hand, and illustrative but uncommercial paintings and drawings, on the other. These pictures were usually executed in watercolor or ink. Some of the commercial work was for small press magazines (Evermist, Wyrd), comix (Uncle Jam), and others.

Did he actually say what he was hoping to get (re. the estimate), as opposed to what was paid?Or (more importantly, IMO), whether he did buy that copy at GenCon (for $500) a couple of years ago.Would be one less copy to account for and a useful indication on price/condition in that particular auction context, if so.

Quite a lot of my older work - both painted and digital - showed influences from ancient and medieval sources, especially the influence of celtic art. I guess this came about from my reading a lot of history and mythology while I was young, when I was keenly interested in Irish matters because my two grandmothers were from Irish-American families.

Is this yet another variation in the first printing? Seems as though there were many small print runs of the PoVQ 'first printing'.Any chance of you putting up photos of the other pages?
