Dragonlance #1 hit newsstands and comic speciality stores on August 25, 1988.  It was the first comic book series released by DC Comics from TSR's iconic roll playing game by Gary Gygax, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.  An entire line of comics featuring adventures in the worlds of TSR would follow.  In all, DC produced four ongoing series'.  Advanced Dungeons & Dragons came next (November, 1988), eventually followed by Forgotten Realms (September, 1989) and finally Spelljammer (September, 1990).  They also produced one stand-alone annual, TSR Worlds (July 1990).  

This copy of the very first issue of Dragonlance is signed by Ron Randall, artist of the cover and interior of the comic (and who would go on to provide most of the artwork for the remainder of the series).  It is also signed by Jan Duursema - the artist of the house ad appearing on the issues back cover and providing the first glimpse of the characters that would appear in AD&D #1 three months later.  Duursema would provide most of the artwork for that series.  

The book is in very fine condition (there is a crease near the bottom front cover that runs at an angel from the cover edge through the waist of the first Death Knight on the far right bottom through the 'd' and 'n' in Randall's name on to end at the bottom edge of the cover just below the word 'by').  Not easily seen unless you hold it just right to a light source.  It will be shipped with the utmost care.
