Leiber is a genius and there's always some horror and dreamlike elements in this story plus a lot of humour, world building and character development. it's not easy to review the visual version of one of your top fantasy series as it was like going through a magic portal and seeing what you had imagined becoming visual. It's fabolous work, great graphic novel, an excellent way to get to know Leiber and his heroes. Highly recommended Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine...more
