MESSAGE FROM ME

Welcome to issue thirty-five of The Eye Shield. All of your Eye Shield favourites are ready and waiting for you, readers, including the second level of Toby’s quest in Adventure Time, the thrilling continuations of The Lord of Dreams and The Tower of Time, and a visit to the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum in Sussex, which should be well-known to fans of series 5 and 6.

Also, as promised, this issue heralds the return of veteran Eye Shield reader Catherine Jackson’s very own creation, the Dragon Queen. Catherine was one of the contributors for issue 1 of TES, way back in December 1995, with her first story, in which the Dragon Queen first arrived in Knightmare to help protect Smirkenorff from the evil machinations of Lord Fear. The story was continued in issue 2, in March 1996, and the sequel – The Dragon Queen Returns – was featured in issue 3 of TES, in June 1996. Now, in September 2005, The Eye Shield is proud to present the third installment of the Dragon Queen saga. My sincere thanks go out to Catherine Jackson, who took the time to write this story for me. I hope you enjoy it, readers, and hopefully it will inspire some of you to get your own creative Knightmare juices flowing.

CORRESPONDENCE

The following e-mail comes from Richard Temple.

Dear Eye Shield.

I am a big fan of Knightmare, and of this online magazine. I have contributed an article in the past (Top 15 Knightmare Villains) and I have recently started writing a Knightmare story; I was wondering if it would be any good to appear in The Eye Shield.

As I said to Richard, this is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for to put in TES. I am still in need of truckloads of Knightmare and TES opinions for this section, and I’m always especially pleased to receive articles and stories for other parts of the fanzine. Please, use the e-mail address below and get writing! Richard’s story begins next issue.

Challenge question: Which is the only series of Knightmare not to feature a jester?

Please e-mail me with any articles, questions, thoughts, comments or contemplations about Knightmare or TES at eyeshield2002@hotmail.com
