Here be Dragon Magazine 165, from January, 1991. I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of sea monsters and if there was ever an explanation as to why I avoid deep water, this painting is it in a nutshell. Fred Fields in all his glory, right here.

Inside is a lot of underwater D&D material, not my fave. One thing that jumped out at me was the short fiction, which is by Laurell K. Hamilton (Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter). Judging from her bibliography, this is probably one of her first published stories.
