This half page color ad from comic books and a similar smaller B&W ad ran as early Dragon #101 Sept 1985 and as late as Marvels X-Factor #28 May 1988. It may have run longer. The only other confirmed appearance is Marvel’s Heathcliff #25 in August 1988. The author of this Mail order Dungeon is Edward Dobrianski. He had a 2 articles on building miniature models in Dragon Magazine (#153 and #163) in 1990. He also had monster manual type publication called Fantasy Monsters & Robots self published in 1985. I contacted him via Facebook. He was polite but short and clear that he did not have any copies of either item and was not interested in answer any further questions about his work.

I don’t know the business but I’m not far from there. It’s a big mall, that would be one of the interior stores. It’s Bramalea City Centre now.  I’m sure business is long gone, though I might go by for fun

I like the detail from the DF post about the address now being a nail salon in a mall. Random other example: the address for the publisher Metagaming is now assigned to a credit union for state government employees. I wonder if they still get enigmatic letters about finding a lost golden unicorn?
