Adam's Wrath original cover

Post by Jack the Reaper »

Here's something interesting. I looked for a proper image of Adam, and wasn't satisfied with any of his published pictures. Now, I remembered back on 1994 I saw a picture of of Adam's Wrath's cover in "The Last Wizard" magazine, which was different and much better than the familiar cover. I made some search and recovered it, and IMO it is indeed the best image of Adam.
I wonder who made this picture, why did TSR replaced it, and how did the Last Wizard get the original (if that's what it is)?
Anyway, I attach the picture here for your benefit.

Well I think that whatever the answer to the first two questions, if a Wizard did it then the answer to question number three is obviously "MAGIC" of course! :hazlik:

Wow, that's really nice! I happen to like the original Adam pic in Realm of Terror, but this one's great too, and I'm shocked not to have seen it before. (there were some other alternate cover designs that didn't get used but showed up online eventually. This it the first I've seen of this one, though.)
