	Description Edit \| History

Vol. XII No. 9 of Dragon Magazine.

Cover Art: One of the things about being a magic-user, as cover artist Linda Medley shows, is that you never have to worry about not having anyone to talk to. The lady's froggie familiar seems to think differently about the matter, though - but that's a frog for you. (from the contents page)

This issue featured The Arcane Arts: Without Merlin, where would Arthur have been? - 5 articles for magic-users.

It also listed the "Gamers' Guide," which was an index of all the advertising in the issue.
