Fritz Leiber Fantasy Lot (1984) | Swords Against Death & Swords and Deviltry | Vintage Paperback Set Book 1 & 2 Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser Series

Swordplay, sorcery, and sardonic wit await. This vintage Fritz Leiber paperback duo plunges you into the chaotic, magical world of Lankhmar alongside two of fantasy’s most iconic antiheroes.

Discover the Saga: This set includes the first two books in the celebrated Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series:

1. Swords and Deviltry (Book One)
2. Swords Against Death (Book Two)

These Ace Fantasy editions (printed in 1984) follow the early adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser—unlikely companions united by tragedy, humor, and a knack for finding danger.

Packed with thieves' guilds, undead foes, mysterious magicians, and moral ambiguity, these tales helped shape the sword-and-sorcery genre as we know it.

Why Collectors Love It:

1. Classic Jeff Jones cover art.
2. Nebula Award-winning story "Ill Met in Lankhmar" featured.
3. Ideal for fans of Conan, Elric, or early Dungeons & Dragons.
