  ===Depictions===
  The Iron Throne has been depicted in comic books, in games, and on book covers, but Martin has noted repeatedly that none of these representations coincided with what he imagined:
  To Martin, the attempt closest to his vision was by French artist Marc Simonetti, for a Mexican edition of ''A Game of Thrones''. The author subsequently worked with Simonetti to get an image the author calls "absolutely right". This depiction appears in Martin's 2014 companion book ''The World of Ice & Fire''. He noted, "From now on, THIS will be the reference I give to every other artist tackling a throne room scene." Martin said of the image:
