On September 10th, 2024, the music from the Marvel Animated series DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS was released by Dulcima Records on 10th September, exactly 40 years after the show premiered in the UK.
The show’s music was written by British composer Johnny Douglas, who, in addition to having a diverse career in film and television, was the composer of music for Marvel’s animated series in the 1980s, which included SPIDER-MAN, SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, G.I. JOE, and TRANSFORMERS. His filmography includes the classic 1965 sci-fi adventure CRACK IN THE WORLD and the British children’s classic THE RAILWAY CHILDREN.
Louise Camby, Johnny Douglas’ granddaughter, is currently researching a book on his life and career called TRACKS TO MY GRANDFATHER’S SUCCESS, and in October 2024 she spoke with Jason Drury about her grandfather’s life and work, how the book was coming along, and how, by chance, she discovered music from DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS in Johnny Douglas’ archives.
During the show, we’ll hear music from DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, as well as other music from Johnny Douglas’ career.
Enjoy.
