Frozen Hell will feature a new cover and interior art by award-winning artist Bob Eggleton. Eggleton is a multiple Hugo Award-winning sci-fi, fantasy, and horror artist. He has illustrated countless iconic book covers, and has worked on cards for Magic: The Gathering. Eggleton has also done concept work for films such as Jimmy Neutron and The Ant Bully, and was a creative consultant for the 1998 film Godzilla.

We have a progress shot of Bob working away at the cover art. You can see here a more hashed out sketch of what will become the Frozen Hell cover.
