Picture Dungeon

"Niveau" just means level. "Grotte visible a maree basse" means the cave is visible from the water EDIT: ...at low tide.

Blue S is a secret door.

I think the guy with the purple cape in 24 and 25 is the same guy, if you don't interfere.

The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.

While besides the point, it was interesting to see how much of the source material I recognized.
I still contend that Room 17's pic is one of the best depictions of magical language ever in comics. (Mignola and Leiber rhyme so perfectly.)

I was about to unjustly blame that on Chaykin's scripting, then I realized that he also did Ironwolf.
Not sure why Chaykin bounces off me a lot; should try reading American Flagg one of these days.

I don't think it's the script--I think that the inking, coloring and possibly how Mignola makes room for them are just more complete on nearly all his other projects.

Something about his Fafhrd/Mouser adaptations is just a lot of grey/darkblue grey/darkblue. Chaykin's script might not have helped maybe but a lot of it feels down to the art.

That said, the first time I read their adaptation, it included excerpts from the original Leiber "Snow Women" --which is so well-written its going to make any prose next to it seem like dishwater.

Chaykin's Time2 is pretty wild--his best and strangest in my opinion.
