Sorcery! Was a four part, D&D/Fantasy themed  choose-your-own-adventure book series that was published by Puffin in 1983-1985. Written by Steve Jackson, they have since been adapted a really great game App series by Inkle Studios. 

The series was good, but as with many good books, the illustration was part of the success story. There was a lot of raw topics in these books, and Blanche’s artwork complimented the ‘gross’ aspects of the story pretty successfully. 

Like, here, in Book two, when the player is attacked by an animated corpse.

Or in Book 4, when you have to option to 'go down a rabbit hole’.

Or in Book 2 again, when the player accidentally wanders into a ghetto of creatures who never open their eyes in case fireballs shoot out of them.

But Blanche is good at more than just gross and unsettling. Check out these atmospheric, scene-setting illustrations …

Blanche also brings adorable and eccentric to his depictions of in-book characters ….

And babes. Blanche can draw babes.

Look at how much story is told in this one drawing of a babe on a locket …

And finally, a self-portrait of the artist, as it appears in Book 2!

This needs to be the loudest, most unapologetic, in your face, obnoxious Pride Month in history. Show these motherfuckers we are here, we’re fucking queer and we aren’t going anywhere.

like yeah we are friends and they respect me but “god, you’re so fat” is said at least once during every conversation.

“how long ago was our last mall trip… i think this one needs to go back to torrid!”
