Meanwhile, comic book artist Gerald Parel re-envisioned the world of Golden Axe. “When I was a teenager, I was very much into Conan and all things barbarian,” he explains. “So when around that time I played Golden Axe, even only for a few hours, it left a precious mark in my memory.” Other featured artists include Julien Renoult, who worked on Xbox One hit Sunset Overdrive and created a painting for Streets of Rage.
