Wil Overton's amazing artwork graced the cover of every issue of Super Play, and he's since gone on to forge a career within the games industry, even landing a job at Rare, where he worked on Perfect Dark Zero, Jetpac Refuelled and Sea of Thieves.
He's also contributed unique cover artwork to several publications over the years, such as EDGE, Retro Gamer, Switch Player and Bitmap Books' Game Boy: The Box Art Collection.
Overton is adding another cover to that portfolio in the form of Sega Mania, an independent publication that celebrates the legacy of the Japanese video game giant.
