Is it strange that maybe the closest we've had to a Fahfrd/Grey Mouser film is...Midnight Cowboy? Having read the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories, and also having watched Midnight Cowboy I tried to find that connection after reading your post, but for the life of me I could not find it. Maybe that is a reflection of how cinema has avoided Fritz Leiber's creations, and that was the point you were making. OK, maybe superficially, the look, also the way Dustin Hoffman's and Jon Voight's characters end up in the situations, yeah, maybe superficially, and if you squint.

Re-reading Leiber's "Adept's Gambit" story. Interesting how different it is from the later works, in that there are constant references to our Earth instead of Nehwon.

Re-reading Leiber's "Adept's Gambit" story. Interesting how different it is from the later works, in that there are constant references to our Earth instead of Nehwon. Adept's Gambit was the first Fafhrd and Grey Mouser tale a young Leiber wrote, but Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright rejected it. The historical setting doesn't occur again as a result. Leiber did figure out a mechanism to keep it canon, though thanks to the Caverns of Time. I love the Lankhmar stuff, but I wouldn't mind taking a peak inside the alternate universe where Wright accepted "Adept's Gambit" and there is a whole series of historical s&s tales starring Fafhrd and the Mouser.

I purchased all the Centipede Press editions so far... like all of their stuff, I'm afraid to open them. Gorgeous books.

Thanks for the news John. That's a double coup for the Magician's Skull - not only getting authorized F+GM pastiche but in a yarn from Nathan Long as well.
