This book combines Brian’s love of fantasy stories, colourful cartoons, games, books, children’s stories, heroes and monsters into the most Brian McLachlan book ever. Below are some pictures of one of Brian’s first gamebooks from primary school. He’s as amazed as you that he was able to make one for real as a grown up. Brian read a lot of Chose Your Own Adventures, Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf, Grail Quest, Way of the Tiger, Which Way books, and of course Dungeons & Dragons. Complete the Quest is his re-imagining of the gamebook format to incorporate the visuals of comics into the storytelling.
