I especially thank Patrick Dusoulier for his great work on translations from french.

Aliens! Has Chubais Come To Make Jack Vance a Reality?
(Article in Pravda features Jack Vance)
The nightmare that Russians are experiencing now and will experience in the future emerged in the fevered imagination of American writers http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/89/356/9773_chubais.html 
"...The author of the fiction was the American Jack Vance, who is considered the most talented master of writing social utopias in the United States. Several generations of American boys were brought up on his books. These boys later became generals, diplomats and American advisers of the first Russian president, Boris Yeltsin."

French Comics editor Delcourt undertook to make an adaptation of Tschaï novels in comics, two volumes by book.The artist is Li-An and the well known script writer Jean-David Morvan. The seventh volume has been published in May 2006. The preparation of the last volume has already begun.

"For a long time now, I have considered Jack as the world's greatest novelist. I discovered him in my youth, between two family moves, and his characters seemed to talk directly to me. Like them, I find myself once more in an unknown country, a foreigner to its people and customs. Their solitude found echoes in my shyness, their thirst for action in my voracious hunger for drawing. Ever since I started drawing comics, Tschai turned out to be a faithful and steadfast road companion. I couldn't imagine drawing anything else than dark and efficient heroes, vivid cities bustling with life, or attractive yet untouchable damsels. And today, with the help of the scriptwriter Jean-David Morgan, I can actually live my childhood dreams..." Li-An  

Moebius: "....I immensely enjoy Jack Vance's novels, which are not too far away from being westerns in space.  They often take the reader through vast, majestic landscapes, even deserts, inhabited by isolated, human settlements, which have developed along idiosyncratic lines, very much like western societies."

("I note belatedly that the texts of these ebooks are the VIE's, fully restored from the editorial meddling that makes the Berkley Suldrun's Garden and the Ace Madouc a charicature of the author's intent.
If you're not subscribing to the VIE and don't have the U-M editions (which are themselves not entirely unproblematic), this is currently the only edition that reflects the Lyonesse trilogy as Jack Vance wrote it." Steve Sherman)
