	Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are two seminal sword-and-sorcery heroes created by, and based on, Fritz Leiber (1910–1992) and Harry Otto Fischer (1910–1986).
		Fafhrd is a tall northern barbarian; Mouser is a small, mercurial thief.
		In 1972, Fafhrd and the Mouser began their comics career, appearing in Wonder Woman 202 alongside the title character and Catwoman in a story scripted by award-winning sf writer Samuel R. Delany.

	Fritz Leiber
		Among his most famous works are the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories, written over a span of 50 years.
		They are concerned with an unlikely pair of heroes, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, who are found in and around the fascinating city of Lankhmar[?], a fertile hunting ground.
		(Fafhrd was based on Leiber himself and the Mouser on his friend Harry Fischer.) Although in many ways the stories now appear somewhat clichéd, these stories were, in fact, the progenitors of many of the tropes of the sword and sorcery genre.

	Lankhmar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lankhmar is a fictional city in the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories by Fritz Leiber.
		The TSR game is for 2-4 players, each of whom takes a hero (Fafhrd, the Gray Mouser, Pulgh, or Movarl) and leads the forces of one of the powers of Nehwon in an effort to capture the opponents' citadels.
		The New Adventures of Fafhrd and Gray Mouser (1996) was a boxed set that replaced Lankhmar, City of Adventure and could be used as a ADandD supplement or a standalone RPG with simplified ADandD rules.

		Slik møter vi Fafhrd og the Gray Mouse i seriens første bok,
		Fafhrd's origins were easy to percieve in his near seven-foot height an limber-looking ranginess, his hammered ornaments and huge longsword: he was clearly a barbarian from the Cold Waste north even of the Eight Cities and the Trollstep Mountains.
		The Mouser's antecedents were more cryptic and hardly to be deduced from his childlike stature, gray garb, mouse-skin hood shadowing flat swart face, and deceptively dainty rapier; but somewhere about him was the suggestion of cities and the south, the dark streets and also the sun-drenched spaces.

		Fafhrd organises desperate mining operations as his friend undergoes peculiar underworld torments and titillations, some slightly embarrassing--Leiber's witty handling of sexual naughtiness, seen at its finest in Return to Lankhmar, had begun to fail with illness and age.
		I did find the sexual episodes in "The Mouser Goes Below" somewhat off-putting and indulgent, with their soft porn appeal to masochism and sadism, and felt they were largely irrelevant and distracting to the plot.
		There is a section where The Mouser is privy to a pain and pleasure scene between the rat-queen, Hisvet, and her two maids, threesie and foursie.

	Gray Mouser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The origins of the Gray Mouser are shrouded in mystery as the Mouser spent his childhood as an orphan.
		Ivrian, along with Fafhrd's Vlana, was murdered by the magic of Hristomilo, his familiar, Slivikin, and summoned rats as vengeance for the theft of gems from two guild thieves by Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

		Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are two seminal sword-and-sorcery heroes created by, and based on, Fritz Leiber and Harry Otto Fischer (1910-1986).
		Terry Pratchett's Ankh-Morpork bears more than a passing resemblance to Lankhmar - and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser turn up in The Colour of Magic as Bravd and the Weasel.
		The two other major characters who influence - and, some would say, cause the most trouble for - Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are their sorcerous advisors, Ningauble of the Seven Eyes and Sheelba of the Eyeless Face.

		Lankhmar: Tales of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (vol 1)
		The new Lankhmar volume has five of the early Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories, beginning with "The Snow Women." This is a long, but fun, introduction to the character of Fafhrd and brings him into perspective in a lot of ways.
		The third story, and the centerpiece of the whole thing, is "Ill Met in Lankhmar." This is the one where Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser become a team.

	Fictionwise eBooks: Swords Against Death [Book 2 of the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser Series] by Fritz Leiber
		Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser descend into Thieves House to discover the exacting skill of the united backstabbing Thieves of Lankhmar and their rival guild, The Slayer's Brotherhood, the city's unionized killers.
		Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser must resume their plundering and drunken debauchery until once again darkness had taken the balance for its favor and then a change would come.
		Fafhrd went after, but more cautiously, with many a hesitation, holding the point of his heavier sword Graywand, which he yet handled most nimbly in strife, close to the stony floor and wagging it from side to side.

	Dave's Long Box: FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER #3 Epic Comics, 1991
		Written by Howard Chaykin with pencils by Mike Fucking Mignola and inks by Al Williamson, Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser is a loving translation of Leiber's fantasy stories that manages to capture the plucky camaraderie of Leiber's eponymous heroes and the sinister world of deviltry and debauchery they swagger through.
		The comic looks and feels like a proper Fafhrd and Gray Mouser story, from the design of ancient Lankhmar, to the banter of the two buddies, to the beguiling evil of magic, which was always dangerous and capricious in the Leiber universe.
		This Fafhrd and Grey mouser comic adaptation happened some time before he was chosen as artist for White Wolf's collections/reprints of the original Fritz Lieber text stories.

	Robin Wayne Bailey: Swords Against the Shadowlands
		Leiber's description of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser's first meeting with Sheelba is briefly discussed in the short story "The Circle Curse" (in Swords Against Death).
		Set in the early years of Fafhrd and Mouser's association, the two are forced by Sheelba to return to Lankhmar where they are plagued by visions of Ivrian and Vlanna, their lovers who were killed in "Ill Met in Lankhmar." Once in Lankhmar, the heroes must stop a vicious spell cast by the wizard Malygris.
		As one reads of Fafhrd and Mouser moving about Lankhmar, the tendrils of mist which cover the city are almost palpable.

		Seeking magic training that is interrupted by the premature death of his teacher, he seeks revenge upon the killer who happens to be the father of his first true love.
		The third story told of the meeting of the two, the beginnings of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser as a team; together unbeatable, brilliantly smart, mischievous, oft challenged but never touched.

		"Fafhrd and the Mouser are rogues through and through, though each has in him a lot of humanity and at least a diamond chip of the spirit of true adventure.
		Similarly, John Clute and Charles Grant's The Encyclopedia of Fantasy describes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser "respectively [as] a tall northern barbarian of unbarbaric intelligence and a small, mercurial trickster figure...".
		Leiber's Gray Mouser was named after a cat, an animal known for chasing mice--a mouser--and was the more urbane of the original pair of rascals.
