Tazio Bettin's Art of Darkness

Tazio Bettin is the Italian artist who had the honour of illustrating Steve Jackson's 40th anniversary Fighting Fantasy adventure Secrets of Salamonis. His star is certainly in the ascendant, as he has also produced Warhammer 40,000 book covers for Games Workshop and is a regular contributor to British anthology comic 2000AD.

Tazio was recently interviewed about his work, including Secrets of Salamonis, by Wyrd Science Magazine, and you can read the interview here.

Ian Livingstone on the Galaxy's Greatest: 2000 AD at 45

As well as marking 40 years of Fighting Fantasy, 2022 is also the 45th anniversary of the publication of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, 2000 AD.

This weekend, an online convention - Galaxy's Greatest: 2000 AD at 45 - is taking place to celebrate this momentous occasion. One of the many guests taking part is Fighting Fantasy's very own Sir Ian Livingstone.

Sir Ian will be talking about the great games inspired by the comic's characters and settings, on Sunday 27 March at 4:50pm, and will be joined by Andy Chambers (a freelance writer and games designer who was formally Senior Lead Designer at Games Workshop) and Duncan Molloy (Head of Rebellion Unplugged).

The panel will be streamed online and for free on 2000 AD’s Facebook page and YouTube channel, as well as Rebellion’s dedicated Twitch stream. But you will also be able to watch at your lesiure later via YouTube.
