Elric: The Stealer of Souls
of Michael Moorcock, John Picacio (Illustrator), Alan Moore (Goodreads Author) (Foreword)
Series: Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melniboné #1
Description
When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent MelnibonĂ©, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique heroâweak in body, subtle in mind, dependent on drugs for the vitality to sustain himselfâwith great crimes behind him and a greater destiny ahead: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the sixties into one enduring archetype.Here is the first volume of a collection of stories containing the seminal appearances of Elric and lavishly illustrated by artist John Picacioâplus essays, letters, maps, and other material. Adventures include âThe Dreaming City,â âWhile the Gods Laugh,â âKings in Darkness,â âDead Godâs Homecoming,â âBlack Swordâs Brothers,â and âSad Giantâs Shield.â
