A cartoony, fan-art-mash-up drawn in gloppy, black ink lines and colored in soft, pastel hues, features characters from each of our 'Best New Concept Art Books' review. Kratos cradles a sleeping Link while fending off a hungry Skeksis. Cappy floats above Mario's head, transforming into The Mad Hatter's hat while the March Hare looks on, impressed. Spider-Ham pours the tea while Mr. Link lends his signature bowtie to Chewbacca.
