[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3224173, member: 22779"] See, it's the "clear literary antecedants" part that I have a problem with. Vance is a bloody obscure source. TX7231 is trying to claim that no one in the 70's would have read Mary Stewart. Never mind that she was a New York Times best selling author and that her Arthur works have made it onto more than one university lit syllabus. Just because he hasn't heard of her, he's assuming that no one has. Vance on the other hand, was damn near out of print by the 70's. Certainly by the 80's the only place you could find a Vance book would be a used book store. We're talking about an author that was fairly obscure in a genre that was bloody miniscule at the time. And as far as wizards in armor using weapons, how about Thulsa Doom? [img]http://hypnokinesiologie.free.fr/conan_fichiers/mechantsensembles.jpeg[/img] [/QUOTE]
