Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2025: Week 20
The Beholder was a popular Dungeons & Dragons fanzine produced in the UK that dealt mostly with D&D and AD&D. It contained articles, reviews, and art.
High school student Guy Duke was the artist and created the featured dungeon and classmate Mike Stoner wrote most of the articles and edited content.
There are twenty-five issues plus three glossaries.
The name of this zine series is a nod to a "beholder" which was a monster in Dungeons & Dragons. It was an original creation for D&D, as it is not based on a creature from mythology or other fiction. A beholder was featured on the first issue's cover.
The editors tried to pitch their zine ‘to everyone, from the rank amateur to top-class pro.’
A fan in 2019 called these zines "different/quirky and innovative."
