Newsletter #5
Joe Dever is the creator of the bestselling Lone Wolf adventure books and novels. He is the
creator and editor of the original Lone Wolf Club Newsletters that were published between 1985
96.
Gary Chalk is the main illustrator of the early Lone Wolf Club Newsletters.
Fan material included herein such as illustrations, fiction and quizzes are the respective authors
and artists.
This project would have been impossible without the helpful contributions of:
David Davis allowing scanned copies to be made of his near-complete collection of Lone
Wolf Club Newsletters.
Paul Haskell providing better quality scans of artwork taken from the books.
Internet Edition published by Project Aon. This edition is intended to reflect the complete text of
the original version. Changes made, such as to correct incorrect or inconsistent spelling,
punctuation and grammar have not been noted.
Distribution of this Internet Edition is restricted under the terms of the Project Aon License.
Effort has been made to display the information as close to the originals as possible. Although this
has not been possible for all thingsfor example, the actual fonts usedthe result is as close to the
originals as they could be.
Scans of the original newsletters have been edited so that many faded illustrations have been
coloured consistently black. In some instances, this has resulted in a higher quality output than
found in the originals.
