Line 98:
* The ''[[Black Company]]'' novels by Glen Cook has a [[Sorcerous Overlord]] collection, sometimes subverting this back and forth. The main [[Evil Overlord]] of the books is an Overlady. She's the wife of the former [[Evil Overlord]], the Dominator, but after their time together as [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] she left and made sure he's kept in. Because he's ''too'' evil, too powerful and hey, it was only a political marriage. This gets twisted in more and more ways from there.
* ''[[The Tough Guide to Fantasyland]]'' naturally has a whole peice about Dark Lords, including the rarity of Dark Ladies.
* [[Gone (novel)|Caine Soren]] aspires to be one, but is deposed soon into book one. {{spoiler|In book four, he succeeds.}}
* Used frequently in [[John Carter of Mars]]. In the first three books alone we get several distinct flavors of this one- [[Villainous Glutton|Tal Hajus]], [[Priest King|Matai Shang]], [[God Guise|Issus]] and [[The Caligula|Salensus Oll]].
* {{spoiler|Freddy Johnson as}} Osiris in [[The Tumbleweed Dossier]].
