Fighting Fantasy - Blog Posts

I love this illustration so much! It was used as both the cover image of the Mad Max-inspired Fighting Fantasy installment Freeway Fighter (published in 1985); and again for the rule book of Games Workshop's short-lived post-apocalyptic racing game, Dark Future (released in 1988).

(The dual use is hardly surprising, given the close connection between the two organizations.)

The contradiction of pristine paintwork and flawless chrome, versus the tank-like armored cabin, leather enthusiasts, and desert background... Ah, simpler times!
