"Your MUM's house". Joe is British, so presumably Lone Wolf speaks and sees in British English too  I know how many beans make five too! (A bean, a bean and a half, two beans and a bean.) NS. |

Wait... what in kai's holy name are you talking about, North Star? Beans? Have you finally lost it ? Well, if you have, that's okay, but don't get any on the rug, and be sure to clean up after yourself. Naw, I'm betting it's some British joke I'm not privy to. |

It's a traditional English fairy tale thing, I think from Jack and the Beanstalk. *shrug*

Heh. Few rules are less ambiguous than this one, or?  Nice one Thomas. I'm sitting here laughing still! ;D |

I always thought it was: a bean, a bean, a bean-and-a-half, half a bean, and a bean. But it was so long ago . . . |

I'm from America, so in my mind, Lone Wolf looks like a cross between Sylvester Stalone and Arnold Schwartznegger.

I pictured him more lithe, like Vince Neil (without the tattoos of course!) back in the eighties. Well toned, but not really big or imposing, like a hunting cat. ~Relenoir, who just watched Vince Neil (of Motley Crue) an hour ago on celebrity makeover and was reminded of what he looked like back then. |

I've never been able to break free of the illustration in book 20, actually.

I've never been able to break free of the illustration in book 20, actually. That was a cool U.S. cover, the one with Naar on the front! Intense! I still think the U.S. cover of Shadow on the Sand was the best, with LW smiting the Vordak from the back of the Itikar. |

The Shadow on the Sand one is one of my favorites. When I said illustration, I actually meant the face that appears in Shamath's pool. As for cover, I think books 6 and 19 best define the lone wolf in my visions. Though I like the lean, mean, fighting green machine (not the ninja turtles) of the Magnamund Companion's mini-banedon adventure.

For me Lone Wolf will always be the guy on Gary Chalk's cover of Flight from the Dark, with the cover of The Magnamund Companion being a reasonable painted interpretation.

Yeah, truthfully, LW to me does look more like the guy on the early US covers... like Book1 and Book 5 especially... also Book 6. After that they make him more and more blonde, then more and more huge... especially in the face. My picture pretty much stayed with how he looked at Book 6.
Then when I saw the UK cover with Lone Wolf shown as kind of a dark hooded stranger, I thought he looked like Vampire Hunter D. Don't get me wrong - I liked D, but to me the UK Lone Wolf sort of looked Rogue-ish and untrustworthy, sneaky. I am sure LW is definitely the guy that can sink into shadow, but the US cover makes me think of BRIGHT SHINING JUSTICE!
Maybe that's just a US thing. I wasn't serious about the Shwartznedder-Stallone thing (just 2 be funny) but I suppose anyone who started with US Book 7 might really think so!

Yeah, I agree, book 6 was a good pic of him too on the U.S. covers. I also agree with what Sol said about the MC pic at the end of the Dawn of the Darklords adventure, which is a black and white version of the original FFtD U.K. cover. I know it was many people's first exposure and picture they saw of LW, but I thought he looked a bit old and weathered for a teenager in that drawing. His eyes were too sunken, his nose and mouth looked weathered by time, and he just looked to me like some grizzled old warrior.

For whatevert reason, my version of that pic comes in color. It adds a lot.
