MOEBIUS AIRTIGHT GARAGE #1 COMIC BOOK JERRY CORNELIUS MICHAEL MOORCOCK RARE OOP!


MOEBIUS' AIRTIGHT GARAGE #1 COMIC BOOK!
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM

Published by MARVEL/EPIC COMICS in 1992. Featuring some very rare and little seen work by MOEBIUS AKA Jean Giraud.

The original European version of this story featured Michael Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius, where his name is changed to Erik Carnellan.

The Airtight Garage is an asteroid built by a former Earthman who has since become a world-shaper. The man, Major Gruber, fell through a trans-time circle while fighting the war in Viet Nam. This transported him to a technologically advanced place called Randomearth SDX, where he met Lewis and Erik Carnellan. Eventually, these three would encounter Nagual, the Lord Creator of Worlds. They would become Nagual’s servants in the fight against the Bakalites, who sought to uncreate the universe.

Eventually, Erik defected to the side of the Bakalites and Major Gruber fled, stealing some of Nagual’s technology. With it, he created the Airtight Garage, itself the home of several “pocket universes” or “levels.” These levels ranged from the desert universe of the Third Level to the First Level, where the Major kept Nagual’s technology. As this four-part story begins, the Bakalites are seeking to invade the First Level. If they succeed, the universe may perish!

This series was created by comic legend, Moebius.

MICHAEL MOORCOCK ELRIC #1 COMIC BOOK ETERNAL CHAMPION STORMBRINGER CRAIG RUSSELL




MICHAEL MOORCOCK's ELRIC #1 COMIC BOOK.
STORMBRINGER
ADVENTURES OF THE ETERNAL CHAMPION

RARE AND OUT OF PRINT! Impossible to find.

Art by P. Craig Russell.

There was a time when great movement fell upon the earth and above it, when the destiny of men and gods was hammered out upon the forge of fate, when monstrous wars were brewed and mighty deeds were designed. Greatest of these heroes was a doom-driven adventurer who bore a runeblade that he loathed. His name was Elric of Melniboné, king of ruins, and lord of a scattered race that once ruled the world. Legendary artist P. Craig Russell adapts Michael Moorcock's climactic Elric novel -- the grand story of the final battle between Law and Chaos -- to the comics format. This is Russell's finest work yet, and the greatest Elric epic of them all, combining the best elements of horror, sword, and sorcery into one amazingly powerful story.

Michael Moorcock’s albino warrior has proved an enduring fantasy-fiction character, and even diluted by adaptation it’s easy to see why. He’s a striking and unique figure, with the weakness that he’s beset by illness and initially sustained only by a mixture of magic and drugs. The combination of frailty and regal poise is exceptionally illustrated

A high fantasy character, Elric is a tall albino prince who possesses (or is possessed by) the rune-carved black sword Stormbringer which gives him strength, but at a price. He exists in a world where the eternal struggle between the forces of law and chaos leads to conflict and magical situations.

ADVENTURES OF THE ETERNAL CHAMPION

RARE AND OUT OF PRINT! Impossible to find.

Michael Moorcock’s albino warrior has proved an enduring fantasy-fiction character, and even diluted by adaptation it’s easy to see why. He’s a striking and unique figure, with the weakness that he’s beset by illness and initially sustained only by a mixture of magic and drugs. The combination of frailty and regal poise is exceptionally illustrated It might be assumed that Thomas carries baggage with him from years of handling a diametrically opposed fantasy character, Conan, but his scripts here are faithful and dramatic, conveying Elric’s questioning and tormented nature.

A high fantasy character, Elric is a tall albino prince who possesses (or is possessed by) the rune-carved black sword Stormbringer which gives him strength, but at a price. He exists in a world where the eternal struggle between the forces of law and chaos leads to conflict and magical situations. This particular story is about his quest for the Dead Gods book, a powerful source of mystical knowledge.

RARE and OUT OF PRINT.

HARD TO FIND VINTAGE COLLECTORS ITEM.

Dorian Hawkmoon, Duke of Köln is one of the fictional characters created by Michael Moorcock in his series of the Eternal Champion books.

Published in 1987 by First Comics, this is the first issue of HAWKMOON, featuring lavish full color artwork printed on good quality paper.

On the run from the evil Dark Empire of Granbretan, young duke Dorian Hawkmoon and his trusty companion Oladahn take refuge in the beautiful, empty city of Soryandum, finding its tranquillity too appealing to resist.

But when agents of the empire catch up with them, the only way to save themselves is by doing a favor for the city’s ghostly inhabitants, who can’t fight the empire’s plans to raze their home and build an air combat center. Problem is, that little favor might get the duo killed as well, and in a much nastier way than the simple execution the empire has waiting for them.

Synopsis:
The graphic adaptation of the saga of Michael Moorcook's famous sword-and-sorcery hero - Elric of Melnibone .

Fleeing from pursuers, Elric of Melniboné at last came to the sea, his horse having run until its heart had burst. With nowhere else to run, Elric went to sleep on the shore while he awaited his fate. When he awoke, however, a great ship appeared in the mists and its crew bade him come aboard.

The ship’s arrival was more than fortuitous, however—it had arrived especially for him. Elric was the last of the Four which the ship was to carry to their ultimate destination. The Four were Prince Corum, Ereköse, Hawkmoon, and Elric—four incarnations of the Warrior Eternal. These four now sailed on strange seas that took them between worlds and times. Their journey was to take them to a land native to these parts, where they must take arms against a brother and sister called Agak and Gagak. These two, if not stopped, would shape the very fabric of reality to their purposes. Even gods could not stand against them, thus it was up to the Four!

Full color graphic adaptation of the saga of Michael Moorcook's famous sword-and-sorcery hero - Elric of Melnibone.

Look at their faces, at the set of their mouths. We've disturbed them in their native habitat. They are tolerating us for a moment, allowing us a brief glimpse before they scatter back to Prydain, to the Dreaming, to Deverry, to Darkover. None of them are ten feet tall, or look capable of much in the way of magic. But look at their faces. Look at the set of their mouths. They've been somewhere we can only hope to visit, secondhand, by the magic that flows from their pens. Look at their faces.

In 1984, photo-essayist Patti Perret and (the now vanished) Bluejay Press released a collection of photographs entitled Faces of Science Fiction. The book instantly became a collector's item and used for autographs at science fiction conventions. Twelve years later, Tor has come out with Perret's companion volume, The Face of Fantasy. Perret's book is filled with a random assortment of more than 100 modern fantasy authors. Each author received one page in which to describe who they are, their philosophy, or anything else that seemed appropriate.

The Faces of Fantasy, is a fun book to have, providing pictures of more than 100 fantasy authors from Lynn Abbey to Jane Yolen. And, of course, it makes a great place to keep all those autographs.


The original cover price for this book was $56!
