'Dragonslayer (The Siege of the Dragonriders)'

Colourful fantasy scene showing a knight fighting a dragon

Painted 1984 for Corgi.

In popular American author R L Stine’s (writing here as Eric Affabee) gamebook for the Wizards,Warriors & You cycle, the role player must defeat a dragon-riding army. This flame-filled scene was enjoyed by Kirby who had waited eagerly for a fire-breathing dragon job. It enabled him to employ his signature red colour to great effect.
