Blade of the Young Samurai - Endless Quest by Clyde Caldwell (1984)

Painted by Clyde Caldwell in 1984, 'Blade of the Young Samurai' was created as the cover artwork for TSR's Endless Quest gamebook #23 of the same name, written by Morris Simon. Rendered in oils on canvas board, the dynamic scene portrays the protagonist Sim Piang wading through turbulent ocean surf while wielding a glowing, energized golden katana to fight off the writhing tentacles and menacing gaze of an enormous sea creature. A quintessential piece from Caldwell's celebrated 1980s tenure at TSR, it features his signature monogram in the lower right corner and was later reprinted across several TSR and FPG trading card series.
