Here is Howard Chaykin and Mike Mignola’s comic adaptation of Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories.

Chaykin had adapted a number of Leiber’s stories for DC in the 70s (apparently, the pair met Wonder Woman, too), but wanted to take another crack them. These appeared in four issues from Marvel’s Epic imprint in 1991 and were collected into trade by Dark Horse in 2007.

I love these comics so, so much. They are from a period of Mignola’s style that I badly miss, before he started to radically shift to minimalism (which I still like, but I also think he did some masterful detail work here – you can see the difference in styles if you compare the Epic covers to the Dark Horse trade cover).

Seeing Mignola’s take on sword and sorcery was a seismic shift for me, in terms of what I thought fantasy could be, in a visual sense (that shift would be repeated a few years later when I first saw DiTerlizzi’s Planescape art – maybe I have a weakness for artists who enjoy drawing gargoyle heads). He forever changed the way I think of magic looking/sounding, if nothing else (see the panel of Hristomilo the necromancer).
