Wallpapers for THE HEROES by JOE ABERCROMBIE

I loved working on these epic covers of badassery (technical term) with Gene Mollica & Michael Frost…so now that The Heroes is out, it’s totally time for wallpapers! I think these covers are set to volume 11, just like Joe Abercrombie’s writing, so if you like gritty, brutal, real-life epic fantasy with fabulous characters and a helping of political backstabbing, then you really should pick up The Heroes, out now in Trade Paperback.

Here’s all the wallpaper download links…if anyone needs a specific dimension made, let us know!

    Very cool, almost makes me wish I was one of the never-ending masses who adores Abercrombie!! No matter how much I try, I just don’t ‘get’ it :(

      I hear you. This cover art makes me want to read the book. I haven’t tried, but I did try to read the First Law trilogy. I got halfway through the second one and I just couldn’t go on. I honestly think Joe might be a victim of the blurbs on the covers of his own books. I hear everyone foaming at the mouth about how great his “grittiness” and “moral ambiguity” is, then I read passages in which the message is too obvious, lacking in subtlety.

    Thank you.
    Looking forward to the “Best Served Cold” wallpaper(s).
    Keep setting to volume 11.
