NOTES

  1. Wizard Books published each book in two styles. The first style was a limited run of Special Limited Edition versions, followed by Standard Editions. The one exception was book 14, Armies of Death, which was not published in Special Limited Edition format due to a printing error.
  2. As well as the Special Limited Edition and Standard Edition, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain was also published as a shortened sample adventure in an issue of the Cartoon Network Comic Issue 68 (Issue 68:December 2003), with a slightly different cover.
  3. This was a hardback edition that replicated the original Puffin Books publication of 1982 along with an additional section at the back about Fighting Fantasy. There were reports that a "25th Anniversary Yearbook" would also be published in 2007. This did not happen. However, the detailed sections contained in the back of the 25th Anniversary Edition of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (about Fighting Fantasy in general, its creation, miscellaneous facts, collection details etc.) may have been what the fan base believed would be the yearbook.

Boxsets[]

Main article: Fighting Fantasy Boxset

In the short time they have been publishing Fighting Fantasy material, Wizard have had two different styles of Boxset.


Original Wizard Boxsets[]

The Original Boxsets were the following:

These were each published with artwork from the covers of the books they contained.

New Wizard Boxsets[]

The same boxsets were re-packaged (with the exception of the ten book set) so that they all followed a standard format with the Wizard Fighting Fantasy Logo on the sides (silver for Books 1 to 4, Books 5 to 8 and Books 1 to 8 and in gold for Sorcery!). The only difference between sets, apart from the contents, was the main colour of the slipcase, as follows:

  • Books 1 to 4 - red
  • Books 5 to 8 - metallic blue
  • Books 1 to 8 - yellow
  • Sorcery! - silver/platinum

The words "Fighting Fantasy" were also on the sides of the slip case, in silver, except for Sorcery! where these words were replaced with the "Steve Jackson's Sorcery!" logo.

Fighting Fantasy Collection 10 Books Set Pack[]

It is worth noting that a set of the first ten Shield Format books was released, bound purely in clear plastic and sold by the "The Book People" in 2010.
