Collecting the fifth volume of the classic comic adaptation of Michael Moorcock's bestselling fantasy saga!      With his reluctant companion Moonglum in tow, the albino emperor embarks upon a perilous quest in search of the dark sorcerer Theleb K'aarna. But in order to achieve his goal, he must first prove himself against the many horrors of the Young Kingdoms and form an unlikely pact with the beautiful and mysterious, Myshella - the Empress of the Dawn.    * Based on Michael Moorcock's most popular work.    * Essential reading for all fans of the novels - the epic tales brought to life with luxuriant imagination!    * Perfect for fans of Fables,Sandman,Elfquest, and A Game of Thrones.    * Elric's antihero protagonist will also appeal to readers looking for an alternative to Tolkienesque Fantasy. Praise for Michael Moorcock Library Previous Volumes: "This spectacular, resplendently flamboyant adaptation is a deliciously elegant, savagely beautiful masterpiece of the genre effortlessly blending blistering action and gleaming adventure with the deep, darkly melancholic tone of the cynical, nihilistic, Cold-War mentality and era that spawned the original stories." - Comics Review "Fantasy of the highest order, with dragons, pirates and magic swords coming together into an incredibly epic and robust world" - Adventures In Poor Taste Captures all the weird and terrible beauty of Moorcock's novels, and the new edition is a perfect companion to Titan's other Elric offerings." - Ron Marz (Silver Surfer, Green Lantern) "Unforgettable action and intrigue...a must-read for any fans of science fiction, sorcery or sword-and-sorcery epics!"- Comics Bulletin "Richly deserves to be back in print...can't wait to return to the dreaming city!" - SFX "Working together, these three creators made an adaptation that remains faithful to the original novel but never feels like a mere adaptation or retelling of the source material. They made Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné novel into their great comic book." - Newsarama… (mehr)

Elric is on quest to find and defeat his arch nemesis, mysterious wizard Theleb K'aarna. In order to succeed he will need to join forces with Myshella, mysterious sorceress that is also in conflict with Theleb and his armies. Second story is fall of Elric into the hands of King o City of Beggars (again K'aarna is in background). This one was very interesting, if for nothing than for the weird demon guarding mentioned King's treasury - now this was very interesting conundrum Elric had to solve, and help came from truly unusual place.

Third story is crossover with Corum's final volume in Sword Trilogy and defense of Tanelorn where our three incarnations of Eternal Champion have to join forces and fight for this miraculous city (and of course save their friends while doing that).

Art is very good, but again we are talking about Jan Duursema so high quality is expected.

Very interesting collection, especially when it comes to Law & Chaos courting Elric to their own cause.

Recommended to the fans of Albino Wizard.

P.S.

Weirdly there is no edition I read (English language edition) listed on GR so writing under this edition (Italian language). Book cover is exactly the same so I guess they just entered the first edition at hand. Rather strange :) ( )

Ridiculous and overblown angst at its best. ( )
