Robert E. Howard: Conan stories and others. Howard was actually kind of an amazing author, particularly given the limitations of the markets he was publishing in.
Jack Vance: Dying Earth (four books). One of the grand masters, and the rare writer who could pass for actual literature. Much of his work was looted by Gygax for D&D (the magic system, in particular). Also check out his Lyonesse series.

William Shatner goes where no man has gone before and slams Star Wars



The actor - who sprang to superstardom playing Captain Kirk in the show - said during a recent video interview with his daughter Lisabeth that he found the Star Wars movies 'derivative' and obsessed with visuals.

'Star Trek had relationships and stories that involved humanity and philosophical questions,' the 80-year-old said.

'Star Wars was special effects, Industrial Light and Magic at its best.'

And he also had scant regard for actress Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the blockbuster series, saying she 'can't compare to the marvellous heroines we had on Star Trek'.

The actor did admit, however, that Star Wars was way ahead of Star Trek when it came to special effects.

'God knows what those actors looked like in reality with all those special effects,' Shatner said.

'There's no telling what ILM did for those faces and hairdos.

'There's a big difference between Star Wars and Star Trek.

'With Star Trek director JJ Abrams piling on the special effects now, I would say there is a resurgence of Star Trek in a big movie frame that supersedes Star Wars - on every level.'

Shatner appeared in Star Trek from 1966 to 1969 but revived the role in the first Star Trek movie in 1979.

He went on to star in a further six Trek films - ending with 1994's Star Trek Generations, in which Captain Kirk dies.
