And now for this month’s Fantasy Art Card Giveaway, including complete collectible sets of illustrations featuring Boris Vallejo, The Hildebrandt Brothers, Conan, and Sanjulián!
Here’s what 1 grand prize winner will be awarded with:
A complete set of near-mint “Hildebrandt Collector Cards” by Comic Images. (90 cards). The sketches on the back (different artwork than the front) just doubled this artwork awesomeness!
A complete set of near-mint “Tim Hildebrandt’s Flights of Fantasy Collector Cards” by Comic Images. (90 cards). The backs of these cards feature a section of the front image, but the extremely interesting background information is where the real coolness is at!
A complete set of near-mint “The Sanjulián Collection” cards by FPG Cards. (90 cards). Treat yourself to the preliminary sketches on the backs of these grimdark fantasy cards!
A complete set of near-mint “Magnificent Myths: Boris 4 Collector Cards” by Comic Images. (90 cards). Boris Vallejo. What more needs to be said?
A complete base set of near-mint “Conan: Art of the Hyborian Age" cards by Rittenhouse. (72 cards). These beauties featuring artwork from past badass Conan comics are extra-thick, glossy, and sport fantastically vibrant colors!
BONUS: All of these 432 cards will come to you in premium Ulti Pro Platinum 9-pocket pages with 1 card per pocket so you can stare at and appreciate the card fronts AND backs on lonely nights like I do!

Good Luck Everyone!
It’s expensive running a kingdom these days. That’s why occasional support from Generous Adventurers like you helps keep Rediscovered Realms’ moat stocked with monsters and swords sharpened for action.
I just played Baldur’s Gate 3 for the first time a few days ago at my nephews’ place. (They were patient enough to allow me and their dad to spend an hour+ customizing my new character’s hair and eye color, among other attributes - so many options! Not sure we ever really got around to playing the actual game . . . 😁) For what I did play, I was blown away with the intricacy and quality. I would be in trouble if I actually owned it!
"Another fun concept that we've been playing with is they were not the only group who was brought into that world, that there are others," Perkins said …
Hitting shipping warehouses everywhere February 4th, this sweet omnibus has a special foreword by actor (and huge DL fan), Joe Manganiello! You can pre-order your copy today!
Medievally Reimagined Logos from the mind and pen of Ilya Stallone
Illya Stallone (Denisov) has been doing this for some time, so boredpanda was kind enough to give him some interview time. Fun read and funny logos (the 5 above are my faves!)
“I also add irony or mockery to many of my works. This is normal for that time. If we look at the marginalia, we will see how the artists of that time knew how to joke, knew how to do really funny things in their illustrations.” - Ilya Stallone
Well, it’s been fun - that’s another edition! Aren’t those fantasy art cards crazy cool?
Covetously cool, even?
You know what you need to do to win those crazy cool cards, you crazy Adventurer, you. Beyond Subscribing, Commenting or Sharing - make sure to infuse that craziness & amazing imagination of yours into everything you do, and we’ll see you back here next week!
“You’re not fully dressed until you wear a smile on your face and a little bit of crazy in your heart.” - unknown
