retief, far and away. i believe the first was 1959 i read a retief story once where he was an old man and he goes back to lily to lead a revolution with "forged" documents. at the end, he is the emporer of the lily empire and magnum asks him where he got the fake docs that looked so good. he replys they weren't fake....a long setup to that point, (almost 40 years of stories) but typical laumer. wish o could find that summabitch again.
