Book excerpt: Enter, stranger! David Rowe is the man behind the artwork of much-loved TV Show Knightmare. During the 1980s and into the early 1990s, it was the dream of children up and down the country to place the helmet of justice upon their head, and make their way into Knightmare Castle as an intrepid dungeoneer. The success of the show very much relied on the incredible visual style, along with its pioneering use of computer technology. This fantastic collection constitutes all of David's surviving artwork from the landmark series and is sure to transport any nostalgic fan right back into Treguard of Dunshelm's antechamber. In addition to his work on Knightmare, David is also well known for his book and magazine covers and is particularly respected for his influential computer game box art, having illustrated well-loved titles such as Ant Attack, Populous and the original John Madden American Football.
