In honor of the month I am going to carve out some time to look at some of the Halloween issues of The Dragon. The magazine has often been hit or miss with it’s holiday focused issues. Many simply play lip service, making me wonder if perhaps they didn’t have much of an editorial calendar. Being driven by mostly outside submissions this isn’t too surprising.

The cover of this issue is by David Martin and really is well done. It even works with the logo of the magazine at the time. It also reflects the main article in the issue, Witches, which gives it a decent tie to the Halloween theme, but isn’t very overt. If I saw this on the magazine rack I wouldn’t realize it was Halloween, just assume it is another fantasy themed issue.
