IDW are set to publish a 4 part mini series based on the classic 80's cartoon Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures will hit shelves in March 2023. Saturday Morning Adventures reunites D&D fans with the beloved adventuring party of ranger Hank, acrobat Diana, thief Sheila, barbarian Bobby, cavalier Eric, magician Presto and their unicorn companion Uni. This motley crew has their work cut out for them as the series will see them once again face their deadly nemesis Venger.The miniseries -- described as a "lost episode" of the cartoon -- will be written by David M. Booher (Canto) and Sam Maggs (Rick and Morty Ever After), with artwork by George Kambadais (John Carter of Mars). IDW said of the series, "Danger lurks at every turn, the enigmatic Dungeon Master is less than helpful, and Venger -- the force of evil -- will stop at nothing to get his hands on the magical weapons that the kids have come to rely on. To top it off, Hank has made a startling discovery: Despite the dangers, Sheila, Bobby, Diana, and the others aren't so sure they want to go home after all!"

Just found this novel on Amazon which was ghost written by Gerry Finley-Day, Waiting in the Wing, the story of a former ANC activist whom some would call freedom fighter and others a terrorist, where one realized what a small world this was, filled with paradox. Hating white supremacy but happily heading to Moscow and then Angola to be ordered around by Russians and Cubans and finally realizing one had more in common with 'the Boer' than anyone else.
