A new teaser for you to solve. Can you identify the books below? All images are of the top left corner.  |

I haven't looked at daredevil's spoiler, but I'm thinking Wraggins' shop in City of Thieves. 8 looks like the entrance to Deathtrap Dungeon in Deathtrap Dungeon. Need to think about the others. ETA: 6 could be the frozen Orc in Caverns. And I think 5 is a couple of Orguz' mooks trying to break the Shield in Chasms. 12 is maybe the Messenger of Death in Temple.
No, right book, wrong picture - it's the Phantom. And 1 makes me think of the zero-G chamber with the spheres and bitey monsters from Rings. 4 gives me a vibe of Stealer of Souls, 9 makes me think Fangs of Fury and 11 says Island of the Undead to me, but I couldn't identify specific scenes. |

You've got 7 right so far. |

Off the top of my head: 2 is City Of Thieves; 3 looks like a barely competent six year old did it, so Stormslayer; 4 is Ishtra from Phantoms Of Fear; 5 looks like the shield-breaking scene in Chasms Of Malice; 6 - Beneath Nightmare Castle?  ; 8 has to be Deathtrap Dungeon; 9 looks like it might be the entrance to Firetop Mountain from Warlock; 10 looks like one of the Forest Of Lein pics from Knights Of Doom; and 12... is that the Rad-Hulks from Crypt Of The Sorcerer? No idea about 1, 7 or 11, though the latter is almost certainly a Russ Nicholson piece. |

Nice puzzle - thanks for this.
Here are my guesses: I have very little idea of any of them.
I will post again when I know more.

5 I'm pretty sure is from evildoers trying to smash up the Shield in Chasms of Malice I was going to say that's all I knew, but just had a flash. Is 2 from Wraggins's shop in City of Thieves ? |
