Mine has got to be Brian Salmon. He did the covers for the reprinted Beaver editions.
I remember how the cover to The Kingdoms of Terror scared me as a kid... Yeah, I know, I was a wimpy kid!
I don't know much about the US editions of the Lone Wolf books but the cover art is pretty good as well. Who was the artist?

My favorite cover artist is the artist who did the cover for the Berkely addition of "The Kingdoms of Terror". That is my favorite cover of all the books.  I also love the cover for the US version of Legends "Hunting Wolf". |

I also love the cover for the US version of Legends "Hunting Wolf". Well, we certainly agree on your first point; that's Richard Corben! "Hunting Wolf" in the U.S. cover was done by Brian Williams to the best of my knowledge. Inside the book, it lists him as the only illustrator, with no mention of anyone else being credited for cover art. Unless anyone knows otherwise, that appears to be his work. |

Well, I never had the chance to read one book of the English version of any Magnamund related series, so I'll vote for the cover of one of the French version book. Some of the covers were made by French artists, but some others were took from the original English edition. So, to me, the best cover of the French edition of LW is the cover from Brian Williams for Mydnight's Hero (wich is the same from the English version). If you want to see all the covers from the first French edition and some of the covers from the second edition, go on this website: gamebook.free.fr/index.html and then click on "Les séries" and again on the "Loup Solitaire" icon. |

I went to that site and to my astonishment was actually able to make sense of the words. I took several years of Spanish and it is very similar to French. I forgot that adjectives appear after nouns in French and Spanish. So the 'moonstone' would be translated to be 'stone of moon'. Weird.
Sorry, I'll blabbering...
Anyways, back to what Relenior said...Richard Corban rules!

Um . . . ah . . . I know it won't be a popular choice, but actually, Lone Wolf's laughable headwear aside, I really like Peter Andrew Jones' cover illustrations. But then, I've been an admirer of his work for some time. I like the vague, ethereal, sometimes surreal nature of his work. It's rather distinctive and colourful--eyecatching--which I like. For instance, his cover for The Cauldron of Fear: the red sky with lightning flashes; the Giak riding the Doomwolf; the white mist. The contrast between the red and the white is very striking, and striking covers are memorable ones.

Somehow I do like the covers done by him as well. Okay, often enough I don't care that much for the things he depicts, but I definitely like the way he depicts these things! For example (though I may be ambivalent about some of them for the above-mentioned reasons) I quite like the covers of The Prisoners of Time, The Plague Lords of Ruel, Wolf's Bane and, from the LoLW, The Dark Door Opens, Hunting Wolf, The Tellings, and The Lorestone of Varetta.

I'm all for unpopularity. Neal McPheeters is my favorite...US covers 9-12, plus the Monstrous Compendium, and one of the Grey Star covers if I remember what he told me correctly. And yeah, I like Corben, too. KL |

You mean the Magnamund Companion right? Unless somehow a Lone Wolf Monstrous Compendium was released and I missed it! *oh, the horror..."  |

My favourite is Gary Chalk -
to me, "what Lone Wolf looks like" will always be the image
I saw first, which was Gary Chalk's original cover for
"Flight From the Dark".

Egad, yes. My brain gets it muddled with the Monstrous Compendium in D&D.
KL, who is too lazy to log in tonight. ;D

I think it was Daniel Horne that did the US Legends covers.
In case you were interested...
