Chris Achilleos to attend Fighting Fantasy Fest 3

Following hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement that Geraldine Cooke will be attending Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 on 31st August*, we are delighted to report that fantasy art legend Chris Achilleos will also be joining us at the gamebook event of the year.

Over the past 40 years, Chris has created some of the best loved fantasy and glamour art and is acknowledged as one of the top fantasy artists in the world.

However, Fighting Fantasy fans will doubtless fondly remember Chris's cover art for such classic gamebooks as Ian Livingstone's Temple of Terror and Armies of Death, as well as Steve Jackson's The Trolltooth Wars, and the sourcebooks Out of the Pit and Titan - The Fighting Fantasy World.

More recently he painted the wraparound cover for Part 2 of Jonathan Green's YOU ARE THE HERO - A History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks.

So don't miss out this opportunity to meet the man himself and collect another signature. Make sure you secure your ticket for Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 today!

* I don't know, you wait ten weeks for a new guest announcement and then two come along at once!

Geraldine Cooke to attend Fighting Fantasy Fest 3

For many Fighting Fantasy fans, she is a legend in her own lifetime, and without her Fighting Fantasy gamebooks would probably have never existed.

She is Geraldine Cooke, the commissioning editor at Penguin Books who saw the potential in The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, and we are delighted to report that Geraldine will be attending Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 on Saturday 31st August, at the University of West London in Ealing.

Geraldine will join Steve Jackson, Ian Livingstone, and Russ Nicholson, for a panel about how the seminal The Warlock of Firetop Mountain came to be.

Please note - unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Ian Miller is no longer able to attend Fighting Fantasy Fest 3.
