>From the Washington POST, 18 Nov 2004:

A SWORDED AFFAIR IN COLLEGE PARK
"Magical Adventures: Fantasy Art from the Frank Collection" provides more
than 60 opportunities to indulge your inner teen.  The exhibition, at the
University of Maryland, includes illustration art from the covers of pulp
sci-fi novels, calendars and games, most made in the last 40 years and
collected by McLean [Virginia] residents Jane and Howard Frank.  Those
familiar with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons will be right at home.
Conjuring, sorcery, scantily clad damsels in distress and dragon-slaying
are major themes.  Hokey as it sounds, the show feels right: As the halls
of high art welcome what was formerly considered low, exhibitions of
illustration and cartooning should become even more common.

Quoted without comment because it left me speechless.

This is at the Art Gallery in the Art-Sociology Building, University of
Maryland, College Park, Monday-Saturday 11 to 4 until December 18.  It is,
of course, closed during Darkovercon weekend...
