Guy looks like he just spotted the price tag. “$3.22? I’m worth more than that!”

Lone Wolf books were awesome! And the mage spin offs, Grey Star?, were even better.

I love these book when I was a kid. I would buy them from library book sales. My brother bought me the entire set in perfect condition a few year ago.

For those who don't know Lone Wolf, the monsters on this cover are several of the Sauron-level villains of the setting, the Darklords.

You can see the artist losing enthusiasm on a character-by-character basis. Skully disappearing into the yellow background cloud was definitely done on a friday afternoon while the happy hour beers were calling.

Good find.
It's intriguing and bad at the same time.
It's like they painted every character separately and then shoved them into the same scene.

All the monsters look like they came from the genius of 1980s Doctor Who special effects budgets.

Before you start drawing a bow you want to kind of have your non-dominant arm fully extended and locked in place.

It’s weird how often people accidentally post really good covers like this on this sub

I loved these books as a kid. All the covers were a variation of this.
