Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (tp) - Dark Horse



I first ran across the word "Lankhmar" in the old-school Deities and Demigods supplement for D&D. The one with the cool-ass Erol Otus cover. From there, I sought out the novels by Fritz Leiber and all subsequent sword-and-sorcery tales I read paled in comparison.

It turns out Howard Chaykin and Mike Mignola produced a four-issue miniseries based on Leiber's tales. I just found out about this yesterday when I saw the issues collected in a trade paperback. I won't get a chance to read this until next week but Chaykin! Mignola! Leiber! It might as well have been called "Brian, Buy This Now! vol 1"
