instead taken up by Sallazar, who is alive and well. Author While Ian Livingstone is credited with writing Legend of Zagor, it was actually written by Zagor Chronicles co-author, Carl Sargent (who wrote gamebooks under the name Keith Martin). Gamebook artwork There is a portrait of Ian Livingstone hidden in the interior art of the game book. It is the face of the man sitting behind a desk, wearing a leather skullcap, in the picture for reference number 194. Artist Martin McKenna added the author's face to his artwork for all the game books he illustrated that were written by Livingstone. Other references In 1993, a Legend of Zagor boardgame was designed by Ian Livingstone and produced by Parker brothers. It featured the same choice of heroes as the gamebook, moulded plastic board and miniatures, and an electronic voiceover the character of Zagor. A series of novels featuring the arrival of Zagor to the land of Amarillia and the battle to defeat him, The Zagor Chronicles, were written by Ian Livingstone and Carl Sargent. They are related to Legend of Zagor, with many characters appearing in both the gamebook and the novels. The world of Amarillia first appeared in the 1987 book Casket of Souls by Livingstone.
