Sword of Sorcery #1 - Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson art + 1st Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser

Sword of Sorcery #1

Sword of Sorcery v1 #1, 1973 - Based on the characters by Fritz Leiber, DC makes its second foray into the sword and sorcery genre (see Showcase for the first). Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser's adventures are drawn by Howard Chaykin, inked by the Crusty Bunkers. Comprised of Neal Adams, Dick Giordano, Ralph Reese and others, Adams' inks are the most prominent. Certainly he worked on most of the central figures. Bernie Wrightson inks the last three pages, possibly more. Both artists add a professional finish to Chaykin's struggling pencils. Cover by Mike Kaluta. This is 1 of 2 Sword of Sorcery issues by Adams and 1 of 3 Sword of Sorcery issues by Wrightson. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in comics, 1st issue
