Spelljammer (comics)
Spelljammer is a licensed comic book series published by DC Comics starting in 1990 that is based on the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, specifically the steampunk campaign world Spelljammer created by TSR.
From 1988 to 1991, DC Comics published several licensed D&D comics, including Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonlance, and Forgotten Realms. In July 1990, DC produced TSR Worlds Annual #1, which featured chapters devoted to various TSR campaign worlds. The Spelljammer chapter featured a story that would be picked up in the first issue of the Spelljammer comic, published a month later.
A variety of writers worked on the series:
The creative team for the first seven issues featured penciller Mike Collins, inker Dan Panosian, letterer Steve Haynie, and colorist Eric Kachelhofer.
Joe Quesada illustrated issues #8–13, and #15, and Don Heck's final DC work was penciling and inking over Quesada's layouts for Spelljammer #11. Dave Simons also provided artwork for the title.
Elliot S! Maggin served as an editor for DC from 1989 to 1991 and oversaw the licensed TSR titles, including Spelljammer.
In 1991, TSR decided to create their own comic books for product lines not covered by their agreement with DC Comics. This was not well received by DC Comics, and in November 1991, DC abruptly ended production of all TSR comics lines.
This abruptly brought the Spelljammer line to a close after 15 issues with several storylines unfinished.
