Vol. IX No. 9 of Dragon Magazine.
Cover Art: The first Clyde Caldwell painting we've published in more than a year is this striking portrait of a female ranger. The model was Jeanne Stanley of Winston-Salem, N.C., who met Clyde when both of them were attending the 1984 GEN CON Game Convention. (from the contents page)
This issue featured the Creature Catalog II - Eighteen more new monsters for AD&D, and the ARES Section - 16-page spotlight on SF Gaming.
It also listed the "Gamers' Guide", which was an index of all the advertising in the issue.
