However the person they've gotten seems pretty good, I think his style would fit: nerdgore.crevado.com/ (warning, slightly NSFW). Here's what I said in the book 30 thread about his work: "-Richard Sampson art! I've loved Rich Longmore art in the first few books of the republished series but now I have a new personnal favorite. The artwork feels as if it was the late Brian Williams who made it! The fact that Sampson doesn't use computers to make his art is a big reason why I feel this way." Sorry, but I've always felt Gary's work was closer to naïve art and... well... that's not something that I really loved. I prefer the more realistic style of Brian Williams. Maybe it is because I've first discovered LW with the GM series or because I was at that time a young teen (and not an old child ), but I've always prefered him over Gary's job. I can still say that Gary has an incredible talent, but he's not my favorite among the illustrators who have worked on the series. What's the difference between a young teen and a old child?

Ben stopped by Facebook last week to update the LW release schedule: Fall 2020: LW30 (reprint) Holiday 2020: LW31!!! Spring 2021: LW1 Definitive Edition Very exciting to hear that LW31 may be available this year! Hopefully Ben & co. don’t wait too long before finishing the Collector’s Edition series with books 27 and 28. It’s hard to believe that 2-3 years from now we might finally have a proper conclusion to the Lone Wolf saga. Yeah I saw that. Very exciting stuff, especially books 31 and later 32 as you say. His comment that they plan to refocus on the DEs and LW1 in Spring is a little ambiguous and I think he actually meant the 'CEs' (27 & 28) and LW1 (which is a DE).

Alberto's covers and Francesco's maps are a sight to behold.

2021 is setting up to be a pretty epic year for Lone Wolf fans. We should get LW31, LW28 extended edition, and LW1 definitive edition all within a few months of each other!
One wish that topics like Overpowered Sommerswerd and Healing ability (similar to the excellent Autumn Snow series or the New Order Curing rules) could be adressed in the definitive edition to bring the books into the modern age.

It seems that this time the first edition will be the english version and not the italian one. I will have to buy two books then. :-)

Do you know if it is possible to pre-order book 31 and if it can be shipped in all Europe?

It hasn't become available yet (I'm in the UK). I don't think we will need to wait long, hopefully should go on sale in the next week or two.
As for Europe, I would be very surprised if they didn't ship to you, though it might be a bit more expensive.

Happy Dusk of Eternal Night Day!!! Now, do I pay the high cost of shipping and the weeks-long overseas shipping to the US, or wait a month to order from the US depot.... decisions, decisions.

Yes, the book is out: link. Apparently, we'll have to play it three times to beat the three bad guys of the book (just like book 10 had three different roads to reach Torgar, it seems). But no bonus adventure for book 31, according to the newsletters: "We got a little carried way, and Lone Wolf 31 is the largest Lone Wolf book by far, standing at a whopping 186,000 words! As a result, Florent Haro's epic Bonus Adventure, Shadow Stalkers (itself, one of the largest bonus adventures yet), will be released with the collector's edition of Lone Wolf 27 in the spring of next year." Oh well...

Going by the thickness of Dead in the Deep, if this one is their highest word count yet, it is understandable that they are not including an also sizable bonus adventure. Had they included it, the book would have been nearly as wide as it was tall and hence be a nightmare to read. Its fair enough,especially as Vampirium and the moved bonus adventure is just round the corner. I wonder if they had already planned on what would be each book's bonus adventure and this shift messes it up so that there is a planned bonus adventure without a book to go in.
I was also expecting the bonus adventure to be August Hahn's second Blazer adventure in Kalte that he teased at the end of Kaum before the Storm. Considering book #32 is to be 551 sections long, I doubt they will have enough room in that one too.

Just a head’s up, I don’t think any mail is going out of the UK right now? Maybe someone over there can confirm. Not just that the post is backed up, but that post offices literally aren’t accepting international packages. Anyway, if you haven’t ordered LW31 yet, and need it shipped internationally, it might be best to wait.
