D&D Mysteries Revealed in Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground

Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground by Stu Horvath

When Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson released Dungeons & Dragons in 1974, they created the first roleplaying game of all time. Little did they know that their humble box set of three small digest-sized booklets would spawn an entire industry practically overnight. In Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground, Stu Horvath explores how the hobby of roleplaying games, commonly known as RPGs, blossomed out of an unlikely pop culture phenomenon and became a dominant gaming form by the 2010s. Going far beyond D&D, this heavily illustrated tome covers more than three hundred different RPGs that have been published in the last five decades.

While we await more misery in Season 2, we’re fresh into re-watch of Netflix’s WEDNESDAY and couldn’t wait to share our first spooky season releases.

Her haunting tribute to Season 1's stylish seánce is available as two limited edition posters: the regular edition on Colorplan Cool Grey and the rare foil variant on Purple Mirri Foil. 

Plus, the great Sara Wong returns to continue her Universal Monsters series with none other than the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON! (This stunning screenprint would look great lurking near her THE MUMMY and THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.)

A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune. An Oral History

A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune. An Oral History
On September 19, 2023, 1984 Publishing will release A Masterpiece In Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune – An Oral History, a defining 560-page hardcover book weaving together the behind-the-scenes events from all production phases of David Lynch’s Dune, including the film’s immediate aftermath and its controversial legacy almost 40 years later.

Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herbert’s beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early ‘80s Lynch was given the keys to the kingdom – and one of the highest film budgets at the time – so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. They would also hopefully be creating a “Star Wars for adults” franchise-starter.
