The Dopiest Demons of D&D: MAD Magazine Sneak Peak!

Warning: The content you are about to read does not reflect the views of D&D Beyond, and is in fact geared towards those who relish in the dumb and disturbing content published by MAD Magazine's Usual Gang of Idiots!

In celebration of D&D's brand new book about the most thrilling sides of hell, Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus, MAD Magazine planned a serendipitous piece to be published at nearly the exact same time, one that takes a look at the lamest side of hell.

MAD Issue #10 will be on sale in comic book stores October 8th and to subscribers a little sooner, but D&D Beyond is thrilled to offer you a sneak peek at this two-page spread entitled "The Dopiest Demons in Dungeons & Dragons!"

These demons are, of course, not actually in Dungeons & Dragons, because MAD Magazine is not the most reliable of news sources. Instead, demons simply would be the dopiest if some player were foolish enough to will them into existence.

This piece is drawn by MAD stalwart who has been one of MAD's "Usual Gang of Idiots" for over 20 years, Hermann Mejia. The author of "The Dopiest Demons" may sound eerily familiar should you zoom in. Yes, okay, it is me, the person who put together this sneak peek!

Scroll down to see some detailed images of the piece, as well as a preview of the cover of this upcoming Halloween Issue! The Pennywise-esque cover art is by Jason Edmiston, who also drew the cover of MAD's recently rebooted Issue #1.
