Dragon Magazine 197, from September, 1993, sports a lovely Brom painting on the cover. Granted, this is obviously an elf, but I get a lot of Melnibonean vibes. As ever, Brom’s palette and quality of light is to die for.

Highlights: the Ecology of the Giant Scorpion illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi and Sandy Petersen (Call of Cthulhu) reviewing Wolfenstein 3-D.
