Ian Livingstone, co-creator of the legendary interactive gamebook series Fighting Fantasy – which our children’s imprint Wizard has published for the last ten years – has revealed the cover of the brand new book, Blood of the Zombies, published at the start of August on the series’ 30th anniversary.
And here it is!
As the official Fighting Fantasy website reports, ‘We are delighted to give the world the first look at the cover of Ian Livingstone’s Blood of the Zombies. It was painted by renowned comic book artist Greg Staples who is best known for his work on 2000AD, particularly Judge Dredd. Ian wanted a cover that had a future-retro look. He wanted to rekindle memories for people who enjoyed the series in the 1980s, but also to bring the style of the cover up-to-date for the modern audience. He worked closely with Greg on the composition of the cover in trying to capture the threatening mood of a classic Fighting Fantasy cover. The original Fighting Fantasy logo has been re-drawn for the book and Ian has also confirmed that Wizard Books have agreed to put a green spine on it!’
