Sir Ian Livingstone at Budapest Comic Con

At the weekend, Sir Ian Livingstone was in Hungary, appearing at Budapest Comic Con 2026.

While he was there, as well as hanging out with the team from Chameleon Comix, who publish Fighting Fantasy in Hungarian...

...Sir Ian also met Krisztián Balla, who illustrated The Dungeon on Blood Island...

...and László Arpad, the talented illustrator behind the Qatlas Fighting Fantasy solution maps.

Sir Ian's Saturday signing session was a record in that it took over 8 hours, virtually non-stop, for him to sign everyone's books!

Adventures on Blood Island

Incredibly, it is over 18 months since Sir Ian Livingstone's latest Fighting Fantasy gamebook was launched at Fighting Fantasy Fest 5.

The Dungeon on Blood Island took adventurers back to Lard Carnuss' private, offshore, holiday hangout and sent them into a labyrinth filled with savage creatures and deadly traps.

The prize on offer was the fabled Golden Orb of Fang, if only the brave adventurer who found it could then also escape from the dungeon alive.​​​

Since then, The Dungeon on Blood Island has been published in Danish and Hungarian, by Faraos Cigarer and Chameleon Comix respectively.

So, speakers of which language will be given the dubious pleasure of exploring The Dungeon on Blood Island next?

Adventures Overseas

The latest Fighting Fantasy gamebooks to be given a glow up by Gallimard in France are Sir Ian Livingstone's Eye of the Dragon and Steve Jackson's* Scorpion Swamp.

Both feature brand new cover art by Regis Torres, and they look suitably threatening as well as fantastic.
