Jo Chen's Comic Art Cover for 'Fable II'
Popular comic cover artist does the box art for one of 2008's most-anticipated games
Microsoft recently dropped some details for Fable II, one of their big games for holiday 2008. Pre-order bonus games, collectible figurines, making-of discs, yadda yadda yadda... But what's cool for fans of Jo Chen's amazing comic cover art (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Runaways) is that she did the box art for Fable II. (A larger version of the image is posted after the jump.)
Of course, this isn't totally surprising since she received considerable acclaim for doing the cover art for the original Fable.
So what I want to know is, why haven't game makers discovered the likes of Alex Ross, Adam Hughes, and J.G. Jones for videogame covers? Instead, they seem content to stick with dreck made by art students with access to Photoshop. *sigh*
