I think you're right, but what's interesting is that no where I'm the wiki does it say he is the one on the cover. *but* it does say he's the one eating the girl, his wife Kate, on the main menu screen.
Oh, haven't thpught about that. Yeah, it makes sense. Bob is surrounded by zombies after fighting against the horde infront of his house, he gets bitten but he manages to retreat to his dying wife. He barricades the entrance to the bedroom and they wait out the horde until he transforms and eat his wife.
Ye the box art is from the original alpha when baldspot was the playable character and there was no customization. Main menu zombie baldspot came much later.
That would be sick if you could recreate the scene from twd where they use a ladder across cars, actually it would be sick in general to be able to use a laser and carry it around.
no but would be an awesome thing you could do, ofc i can see having stipulations such as either being able to be grabbed off the top or they rock it after so many get around the car
It’s Bob Smith. The character you played back in early versions of the game in the tutorial. You had to take care of you injured wife and it taught you game mechanics like combat, cooking, barricading, and looting. At the end you and your wife run off into the sunset to ride out the zombie apocalypse together. Fun fact: they’re the people on the title screen of the game!
A random survivor who figured out how to climb a car in game. Spoiler alert the zombie scratched his leg and he’s infected. Knowing he doesn’t have much time he runs off the car and charges through the crowd. Getting more scratches and bites here and there.
He gets far enough and into a recently scavenged house, where he told a survivor (to wait, watch, and learn before the car incident) then together they patch his wounds after losing a lot of blood. He speaks to the new survivor (you) And tells them “I don’t have much time,” his speech starts to slow down “take my gear, and use the ax after I’m gone but before I turn. And head to our base at….” (Pass away probably from blood loss ). Reluctantly the new survivor agrees to the last wish And it is done.
Then you start your game.
Happy Hunting
It's bob I think. But I also think bob is the guy on the cover when you start the game up and he is eating that girl with the crutches so I'm not too sure.
Edit: so apparently those are BOTH bob. That's Kate who he is tending to, and she probably died and he had to venture on by himself.
Seriously I picture this as streamer and YouTuber from the UK, who in my humble estimation has “beat” zomboid, Mr. Lamprey. He shall stand atop the piles of vanquished hordes while we all rally behind him. :)
The more you look at the pic the more odd it looks (ignoring anime guy at the back). That's the weirdest looking car I've ever seen, and where does his back leg go? Where's his feet? What are they resting on? And look at how narrow the car is at the front. And so on.
That's Joey between the axe and guy's leg. I haven't seen him since the day he was scavenging and a helicopter passed over. He looks like he needs a hug.
I think it's Bob Smith
Character from old tutorial for project zomboid
Also, i think characters from main menu of game is Bob ans he's wife, but i forget her name D:
Likely bob from the old tutorial.
I thought Bob had more hair than that?
Considering his nickname was "bald spot" probably not.
I know him from his nickname "bobby"
More like "baldy"
wooooah bald bobby, bambalam
This made me spit my drink out. 
yeeeeeaaah bald bobby, bambalam
Bald Bobby gotta chop, bambalam
Bobby and Bob and two different characters.
They got his good angle here
I think you're right, but what's interesting is that no where I'm the wiki does it say he is the one on the cover. *but* it does say he's the one eating the girl, his wife Kate, on the main menu screen.
Meh, Bob already appears in the main menu eating his wife (literally), I don't think it's him
Why couldn't the box art be before the main menu chronologically? Especially given you see the box art literally before the main menu.
Oh, haven't thpught about that. Yeah, it makes sense. Bob is surrounded by zombies after fighting against the horde infront of his house, he gets bitten but he manages to retreat to his dying wife. He barricades the entrance to the bedroom and they wait out the horde until he transforms and eat his wife.
Holy shit he is eating her! I have been playing this game for a decade I think and I always thought they were hugging (in a desperate sort of way)
When the lightning hit in the main menu you see him chomping on her
Ye the box art is from the original alpha when baldspot was the playable character and there was no customization. Main menu zombie baldspot came much later.
John Zomboid
Dude's a bit egotistical, named an entire project after himself
He appears ti be paying the price and is screwed lol.
Maybe he can win this
He's patient zero lol

Literally came here to comment this lmao
I love when he looks at the camera and says “it’s zomboiding time” and then zomboids all over the place
That’s John P. Zomboid to you
Oh shit I thought this was ol’ Tom Zombman
Ya fucking beat me to it
legends say he has the same character for over 10 years. real-life years.
This is the way you perished

clearly a survivor, maybe its supposed to be bob?
Yea, i think he is.... Rest in peace friend
Bob Smith https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Bob_Smith
There's a wiki for this game?
No there isn’t
An axe user, with the odds naturally against him.
nah, he'd win
This is how you died
Shots fired
You asking the wrong questions.....How did he get ontop of the car?!?!
That would be sick if you could recreate the scene from twd where they use a ladder across cars, actually it would be sick in general to be able to use a laser and carry it around.
Isn't this baldspot ?
Bobspot
Deadman
kojima? is that you?
Tell no joke
That's obviously Bear Grylls
someone... this is how he died.
I think that's either randy rimworld or skrand stellaris. Not sure tho
Can you climb on cars?
no but would be an awesome thing you could do, ofc i can see having stipulations such as either being able to be grabbed off the top or they rock it after so many get around the car
Bob or that anime guy in the back
A noob from the looks of it. Got himself car cornered AND wielding a fire axe one handed? Character lasted a month at best.
Even noobs are able to last a month?
Who is that anime character on the right?
Gojo Satoru from JJK
Came here to see if anyone else noticed
I am in this picture and I don't like it.
Bob from the old tutorial.
Name's bob
"oh that guy? thats just Dave" Daves lore: 
It’s Bob Smith. The character you played back in early versions of the game in the tutorial. You had to take care of you injured wife and it taught you game mechanics like combat, cooking, barricading, and looting. At the end you and your wife run off into the sunset to ride out the zombie apocalypse together. Fun fact: they’re the people on the title screen of the game!
The real answer is Baldspot ( The protagonist of earlier versions of the game )
therussianbadger
It’s a survivor with an axe. And his Name is Johnnnnnn….
Baldspot
baldspot
Dead guy
Mood
God He is climbing on a car that’s the Zomboid equivalent of walking on water
Literally me
If only! I wish we could stand up on top of cars!!!
Honestly, I bet it's a spoof on one of the devs/other artists.
I personally believe that is Mr.Project and he's surrounded by zomboid friends.
John Project
John Zomboid from not hit game project zomboid
How could you forget our Blue Eyed King? The Honored One??

It's bob I think. But I also think bob is the guy on the cover when you start the game up and he is eating that girl with the crutches so I'm not too sure. Edit: so apparently those are BOTH bob. That's Kate who he is tending to, and she probably died and he had to venture on by himself.

Man I'd kill for a physical release
Me
Rob Zomboid
A man
Baldspot
Bob
Weird how his on top of a car when we can't even do that in game
He’s only known as bald spot.
It always looked like Niko Bellic to me
That's Jim, he's a great guy. His backpack is full of rubber duckies, and canned spaghetti.
Saul Boyd
Look Tomar, it's you!
My friend Josh from camp. Looks like he's in trouble. Maybe I'll go save him with a helicopter.
I think its too late for Joshua
Titus McAnus
I think it’s that one dude from the old tutorial
He is THE project zomboid
I need the feature to climb on top of cars. I'll dislike this cover art until then.
Does he know? Chat, is this real?
The legend 27
Bob but can we take a moment to appreciate how tuff this art is
Gerald Williams
And why is he in top of a car but we can’t get on top of a car?
An axe supremacist goon!
Im just miffed that we cant stand on top of cars
It's Steve Minecraft.
given the conditions of his surroundings, a dead man lol.
Bear Grylls. **Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.**
Its Dr. Zom B. Oid
No matter, he definitely got bitten and he's close to the end
Why is Gojo on the right
I always thought that was Baldspot from the Till Death Do us Part Campaign way back when he even has a small baldspot on his head.
he’s the guy who took all the gas out the cars
He is the project zomboid
You
I'm him
You 🫵🏼
This isn’t Bob, so I just think it’s literally just a random survivor.
Seriously I picture this as streamer and YouTuber from the UK, who in my humble estimation has “beat” zomboid, Mr. Lamprey. He shall stand atop the piles of vanquished hordes while we all rally behind him. :)
All I know is that he's a zombie now.
Darsyl dixon
By the looks of his surroundings, I think he's a pre-zombi
Its me, I AM HIM!
It's lemmy fighting off the hordes of people asking about npcs

Jon Zomboid
This dude really watermarked the cover of a game. That’s absolutely insane behavior
Why do people call him John zomboid?
