DragonQuest Adventure Three: The Enchanted Wood - “Knight of Horns” page 14 (SPI Games, 1981)

Super early Tim Truman work for SPI Games. Here’s a quote by Tim from his website: “I enrolled in the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in New Jersey from which I graduated with Dean's List Honors in 1981. The day after my graduation, I went to New York City and came away with my first professional assignments from SPI, a publisher of fantasy role playing games. I continued to work in the fantasy game field for about three years, most notably as a staff illustrator for TSR Hobbies, the creators of ‘Dungeon's and Dragons.’”

Interesting fact: SPI ran out of cash in early 1982 when TSR called in a loan secured by SPI's assets. TSR began selling SPI's inventory in 1982, but later acquired the company's trademarks and copyrights in 1983 and continued a form of the operation until 1987.
