Worth saying: surprisingly few book covers actually reflect specifics from the book. It’s a tribute to Joe’s art and the HoZ briefing team that these covers are so striking and also every little detail relates to the book’s contents.
The covers for @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Tyrant Philosophers series are maybe the best in the business right now.
Joe Wilson is incredible at having these detailed, eye catching and very distinctive designs that whet your appetite for what is inside.
