1 | * FountainOfExpies: |
2 | ** The very first Literature/{{Discworld}} novel, ''Literature/TheColourOfMagic'', features a cameo by "Bravd and the Weasel". Not to mention the city of Ankh-Morpork, in its original form similar in both name and description to Lankhmar. In later books it developed its own unique character. |
3 | ** ''ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian'' #6, written by Creator/RoyThomas and published by Marvel, was set in the sinful city of Shadizar, which as written by Thomas owed a lot to Lankhmar, and featured a cameo by "Fafnir and Blackrat". (Shadizar came first -- it's a Zamoran city from Howard's original stories -- but Howard never developed it much, though it was definitely a WretchedHive.) |
4 | ** ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'', starting from issue #77, features obvious expies of the two called Freddy and Mouse. |
5 | ** Literature/{{Otherland}}: The digital avatars of Orlando Gardiner and Sam Fredericks are expies called Thargor and Pithlit. |
6 | * OutlivedItsCreator: After Leiber's death, Robin Wayne Bailey wrote the authorized novel ''Swords Against the Shadowland'', which takes places between the first two books of the series. |
