Im working on a story that features both Karl Edward Wagner and Manly Wade Wellman as supporting characters. Working title, pulled Wagner-Style from song lyric, is Washes the Grave With Silvery Tears . As a result Ive been rereading various interviews with both writers, trying to get a feel for them. I was made aware of one interview I didnt have, which appeared in a British Fanzine DAGON #25 in 1989. With the help of Ebay and the Royal Mail, I found a reasonably priced copy and wasted no time in getting it sent my way. As it turns out, the interview, conducted by Carl T. Ford, turned out to be one of the best interviews Ive read with Wagner so far. It includes, among other things, the secret origin of Wagners alter ego, Cody Lennox, a lot of information about the unfinished novel, At First Just Ghostly, and some stuff I didnt know about Wagners signature character, Kane the immortal warrior-necromancer. I also found out a couple more things that KEW and I have in common, but more about that later. Outside of the interview, the fanzine also contains some very interesting articles, and the old ads put me on the trail of a couple of books I dont have. So yeah, really good purchase. Worth the trouble.
