The Michael Moorcock Library - Elric #1

Part of Titan's 2015 Michael Moorcock Library, this handsome volume opens the Elric of Melniboné saga with "Book One: Out of the Dreaming City." The cover — rendered in striking sepia-toned ink work by P. Craig Russell and Michael T. Gilbert — presents the albino emperor of Melniboné in commanding close-up: pale, sharp-featured, with those distinctive pointed ears and an intense, brooding gaze that immediately conveys a ruler both formidable and haunted. With Roy Thomas and Michael Moorcock among the creative team, this is a beautifully crafted entry point into one of fantasy fiction's most compelling antiheroes.
