TALES OF FANTASY & ADVENTURE
issue 1WELCOME TO THE debut issue of
Infernol, the first ever Black Library
publication. This is bound to become a
collector's edition, so I'd advise you to go
back immediately and buy another two or
three copies whilst you still can - it'll be
no use feeling bitter in years to come
when this magnificent tome is changing
hands for hundreds of thousands of
pounds. Don’t say I didn’t warn you..
“So what's this all about then? I hear
you ask. Well, for years the fantasy worlds
of Games Workshop have been crying out
to be further illuminated and illustrated
through exciting fiction and graphic
comic strips. Our games simply don’t
have the room for rip-roaring adventure
stories and the like, so I just had to go
ahead and devote a whole book to them.
Well, almost. There are lots of other
marvellous items crammed in here too:
Imperial reports, 3D battle maps, full
page character illustrations and so on
Exciting, eh?
Don’t be confused: you will not find a
single game rule in these pages (not even
one) so there’s no point in looking. If
however, you're pining for a new Gotrek
and Felix story from the legendary
William King, or get uncontrollably
excited by the very concept of a Dark
Angels comic strip from ex-Image
illustrator Logan Lubera, or if your idea of
fan is spending ages pouring over Ralph
Horsley’s incredible 3D map of Gisoreux,
this is definitely the book for you.
Issue 1, as its very title suggests, is the
first — suggesting, you may think, that
there are perhaps more issues to come.
You wouldn't be wrong either! Upcoming
are further stories from William King,
Jonathan Green and many others. More
action-crammed comic scripts from
names such as Gordon Rennie and Dan
Abnett, and illustrated by the likes of
Dave Pugh, Colin MacNeil and Kev
Hopgood. More exciting reports
communiqués, character studi
technical cutaway diagrams and alll kinds
of other great stuff are even now being
discussed and developed in the nerve
centre of our Black Library here in the
heart of Nottingham.
So, abandon alll rules ye who enter
here. This book is packed from cover to
cover with tales of Fantasy & Adventure
Dive into the INFERNO!
