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.

I've had this one bookmarked for ages now, high chance that my players finally stumble upon it. I'll let you know how it goes, I'm very excited to try this dungeon out!
