In the era before digital marketing, video games relied heavily on box art for advertising.

Each cover was meticulously crafted by hand using traditional media, often under tight deadlines and vague instructions. 'The Art Of The Box' presents 26 biographies of artists who have contributed to video game packaging, including Bob Wakelin, Steve Hendricks, Ken Macklin, and more.
