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.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
