Many associate Lone Wolf with Gary Chalk's iconic art, as it was this art that launched the series and provided the lens through which we discovered Magnamund for the first time. Just as incredible, however, is the art of Brian Williams, who portrayed Magnamund for over ten years, from books 9 through 28. Today August and Jonathan honor Williams by examining the incredible evolution of his art as well as the transition from Chalk to Williams. Joining them is artist Justin Wyatt, known for his work on the anthology and upcoming Legends finale, and who brings years of professional training and experience to the examination of Williams style. We'll also dive into the secrets behind what makes a certain Baroness so appealing to the fan base!

As mentioned in the episode, there is an interview with Gary Chalk which you can listen to here: Gary Chalk on Magnamund
