Mark Evanier is a legendary comic book/TV writer who wrote the pilot script and small-b bible for a Saturday morning cartoon series called Dungeons & Dragons .
It went on CBS on September 17, 1983 and lasted three seasons .
Do not believe those who claim it was driven from the airwaves by pressure groups who saw satanic subtext.
A final unproduced episode would have served as both a conclusion to the story and as a re-imagining of the show, had it been picked up for a fourth season .
The script has since been published online and was performed as an audio drama as a special feature for the BCI Eclipse DVD edition of the series... A fan-made animated version of the finale appeared online in 2020 .
