Something & Something Else: Lone Wolf and the Wizard of the Comic Book

I used to play Lone Wolf books. Yes I said play. They were a choose-your-own-adventure book... well that's not exactly true..

"Choose Your Own Adventure" books are certain brand of choose-your-own-adventure books (like how scotch tape is really a brand of cellophane tape). And this wasn't part of that series. This was longer and fight-i-er. With swords and magic and a map and meals consisting of large chunks of cheese. This was BETTER than a choose-your-own-adventure. In this book YOU were Lone Wolf - YOU determined your destiny (as it said on the cover). THIS was a Role Playing Adventure!

I found a copy of Lone Wolf: The Dungeons of Torgar A Magnakai Adventure, at the awesome Iliad Bookshop which I have been frequenting since I was around fifteen.

I bought it mainly for the printed out, taped on, inscription on the scroll page.

So let us take a ride around Joe Dever's awesome-promising Book 10 of the Lone Wolf series...

Cover Price $3.50... word

Did you know that there has never been a case in documented history of a human dying from a wolf attack. Meaning: They're our friends.

Maps are so cool. 'Specially liked the ones from the LW books. They were printed on different paper.

Who are you Wizard of the Comic Book? A tiny wizard that lives in a comic book. Or a magician who gets his powers from comics, drains them and gains the powers inside. Maybe a soothsayer robed in comics, his insides and paper skin is made from them, their stories and pages, rainbow colored ink courses through his veins, and manipulator of ideas, thoughts, and dreams. Or did your mom coin the name? Then printed and taped it on to the book before giving it to you, and you didn't want to hurt her feelings. So you left it in there. I don't know, Wes Rhea, maybe you are a girl.
