I'm sure most if not all of you are familair with the Order of the Stick comic strip. Well I was going through the new ones as I have not read them in a long while when I came across this strip, I must say it was one of the coolest things I have seen as far as a Tribute goes for Mr. Gygax. Link to follow.

A personal favorite of mine! I also have a decent paperback collection of Knight of the Dinner Table. Good stuff!
AWESOME tribute to Cygax too, btw!
If you ever want some "serious" fantasy comics to blow your socks off, I suggest the Cary Nord illustrated Conan the Barbarian series from Dark Horse Comics that was released in 2004. They have some awesome sweeping Dinsey-esque landscapes and a decapitation about every 4 pages... Classic Conan! here are some examples of the artwork...

As you can see, Conan clearly LOVES chopping heads!
