Ian Livingstone's Freeway Fighter is a new post-apocalyptic road-trip series based on the world famous Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, which will be roaring into comic stores in the spring of 2017.
Critically acclaimed writer Andi Ewington (Just Cause 3, The Six) teams up with original creator Ian Livingstone and artist Simon Coleby for FREEWAY FIGHTER – a furious, three-part road trip like no other - with colours by Len O'Grady and lettering by Jim Campbell.
Fans of the original Fighting Fantasy gamebook will also be pleased to learn that the comic features a dedication to Kevin Bulmer, the book's original, distinctive interior artist.

A year ago, back in December 2015, Ian Livingstone appeared on Brazilian TV as a guest on Danilo Gentili's chat show. (For those not in the know, Danilo Gentili is Brazil's equivalent of the UK's Jonathan Ross, or the USA's Jimmy Fallon.)
Since Ian spent last weekend meeting hundreds and hundreds of fans in Brazil at São Paulo Comic Con, now seems like a good time to post a clip of Ian's interview on Danilo's show.
As you can see, Danilo is a big fan of Fighting Fantasy, especially The Forest of Doom!
