Dark Sun #4

Set against the scorched wastelands of Athas, this fourth issue of IDW's Dark Sun Dungeons & Dragons series delivers a cover that commands attention: a muscular, tattooed warrior clutches a stone dagger and faces down an enormous, horned dragon-like creature looming over him with terrifying mass. John Watson's cover work captures the desperate, sun-baked brutality that makes the Dark Sun campaign setting so compelling, with rays of dim light cutting through a hellish crimson sky strewn with bones and shadowy figures. Writer Alex Irvine and artist Peter Bergting bring Athas's savage world to life in a series that earns its place on any D&D fan's shelf.
