Arcana Royale

Arcana Royale is a supernatural thriller graphic novel by author Cullen Bunn and illustrator A.C. Zamudio, published by Dark Horse Books, December, 2025.

Brief: Design the cover logo and trade paperback (cover, back cover, title pages, indicia, chapter breaks, and back matter sketchbook pages) for this series.

Design: This series focuses on high-stakes, supernatural gambling set in Las Vegas and connected alternate dimensions. The artwork is bold and features arcana symbols, with a heavy gothic and art-deco influence in the art style. The design reflects this by incorporating in-universe symbols, gothic archway frames, and distressed detailing, and a dark, jewel-toned color palette. The chapter breaks are marked by the number of falling chips, which features enticing spot art for the chapter.
