Elric #[4]

Rendered in brooding monochrome by cover artist Valentin Sécher, this 2021 Titan collection presents Michael Moorcock's "The Dreaming City" — and the cover makes an immediate impression: the pale-haired, dark-clad Elric stands resolute in the foreground while a massive, scaled dragon looms behind him, its single crimson eye burning through the grey. With a creative team that includes Moorcock himself alongside writers Julien Blondel and Jean-Luc Cano, and interior art by Julien Telo, this is a handsome volume for anyone drawn to dark fantasy done with genuine craft.
