I love AD&D adventure names and content. They really just cranked them out and it’s amazing. I want more official short adventures like this. Especially the cover art
I, too, cranked one out to this cover art

Sooooooooo, this is a fetish image, right?

Brain must’ve shorted out. Thought it said ADHD&D.
“The worst she can say is ‘no’.”
Dammit, I’d previously posted some unique D&D art that someone came up with, based on TSR’s little 80’s touch-sensitive boardgame. Anyone remember that?
Oh man, I’ve been trying to figure out who that genius of an artist was for… like ~45yrs, now. Here’s some samples:

Seriously, who WAS that incredible artist…?
Not sure about your game image, but OP’s image was by Bill Willingham, one of the big four artists for TSR in those early days.
Hah! Yes, I remember that little ad in comic books.
As for the “big four,” I’m guessing Trampier, and who else?
Hmm, I misspoke. Allow me to correct myself. I should have said first four, rather than the big four. Calling them the big four was be making a judgement that I am truly not qualified to make. I can say that the work of the four below fills me with joy, thought much of that joy is asinspired by nostalgia for those days as much as it is the art.
The four I was referring to are Jeff Dee, Erol Otus, Bill Willingham and Jim Roslof. Trampier would certainly be in any list of biggies for his work on the cover of the original AD&D Player’s Handbook alone.
Oh yeah, those blokies! I remember their work well. Otus and Roslof were particularly interesting to me because of their ‘wild child’ style, and overall I’m not sure Willingham was anywhere near the level of those other four, but at least he had a fairly pleasant, expressive style.
Tramp is indeed all over the various early books and modules, and of course did the brilliant Wormy comic in Dragon magazine, tragically cut short. At my community I’ve posted his work a couple times:

Oh my gosh, I had that when I was a kid and totally forgot about it! Thanks for the memories!
I think I found the secret boner.
I can’t blame him. Have ya seen the spell slots on this sorcerer?
“Bone Hill” was more of an imperative than a proper noun, it seems
Awe, I remember this. So old… 😂
Oof, ouch, my bones!
