And on this fantastic Tuesday, we'll finish up this series with the final 10! I've included a couple 'non-module' pieces as well to fill out the full 30, but they were still in the same design format.  A format, BTW, that I loved!  How can you go wrong with color front and back, and another b/w illustration cover on the inner booklet!  You basically get three incredible images for the price of one, something I mimic in The Folio!  Anyway, on to the trivia!  How many can you name? (answers below) #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9...

Well, after having so much fun looking over my 'Top 10' classic module covers the other day, I started flipping modules over and looking at the back cover.  Now, it is interesting to note that prior to around 1983, TSR created color back cover artwork for all modules, then in what can be assumed was a cost savings initiative in 1984, started just using text on the back cover of modules.  This meant that 27 original modules had back cover artwork [save Against the Giants which featured an add for all three previous 'giants' adventures].  I find it incredibly sad...
