Cross-Cult, the German publisher for new editions of the Redwall series featuring cover artwork from Chris Dunn, recently posted on their social accounts about a visit they undertook to see the illustrator himself.
Noteworthy about their post is that there is visible artwork for more than just Redwall, Mossflower, and Mattimeo. Indeed, Cross-Cult's journey to the UK reveals the still in-progress artwork for a few more novels, including Mariel of Redwall, Martin the Warrior, and Salamandastron!
While we've included the photos from Cross-Cult's post, we also pressed our "enhance" button to zoom in as best we can below.
Mariel depicts Mariel Gullwhacker using her Gullwhacker against a gull - seemingly the very scene.
Salamandastron depicts Urthstripe the Strong, accompanied by hares of the Long Patrol, against a background of the mountain stronghold.
And Martin the Warrior depicts the mouse hero leading the charge accompanied by the Fur and Freedom Fighters.
While the third image in Cross-Cult's post does not showcase an upcoming Redwall cover from Dunn, it does appear to show an early sketch of the Martin the Warrior cover.
It certainly looks like 2023 may offer more Redwall books from Cross-Cult! The German edition of Redwall (Der Sturm auf die Abtei) is scheduled to be published on October 28, 2022.
