Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (1-4)
Adapted from the Fritz Leiber novels.
Writer: Howie Chaykin
Artist: Mike Mignola
from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fafhrd_and_the_Gray_Mouser
One of Leiber’s original motives was to have a couple of fantasy heroes closer to true human stature than the likes of Howard’s Conan the Barbarian or Burroughs’s Tarzan. Fafhrd is a tall northern barbarian; Mouser is a small, mercurial thief. Both are rogues through and through… but theirs is a decadent world where you have to be a rogue to survive. They spend a lot of time drinking, feasting, wenching, brawling, stealing, and gambling, and are seldom fussy about who they hire out their swords to. But they are humane and—most of all—relish true adventure.
In 1991, Epic Comics published a four-issue comic book adaptation of seven of the stories: “Ill Met in Lankhmar” (issue 1), “The Circle Curse” and “The Howling Tower” (issue 2), “The Price of Pain Ease” and “Bazaar of the Bizarre” (issue 3), and “Lean Times in Lankhmar” and “When the Sea King’s Away” (issue 4). The comics were scripted by Howard Chaykin, who had drawn several issues of the earlier DC title, and pencilled by Mike Mignola, whose Hellboy comic book often has a similar feel to Leiber’s work. Hellboy himself shares some personality traits with Fafhrd. Mignola also did the jacket covers and interior art for the White Wolf collection.
