☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume of Titan's Michael Moorcock Library collects the Elric saga's opening chapter, adapting Moorcock's classic fantasy tale of the albino emperor's quest to reclaim his soul-drinking sword, Stormbringer, from his treacherous cousin Yyrkoon. The story follows Elric's desperate journey to the dreaming city of Imrryr, blending Roy Thomas's faithful script with vibrant artwork that captures the sword-and-sorcery epic's melancholic grandeur.
In "Introduction: Conan, Elric, and Me," Michael Moorcock’s iconic sorcerer-king Elric takes command of a mighty fleet in a desperate bid to reclaim the lost city of Imrryr, rescue his beloved Cymoril, and confront his treacherous cousin Yyrkoon. Written by Roy Thomas and Michael Moorcock, and rendered in lush, evocative detail by P. Craig Russell—whose work defines the issue’s visual splendor—this chapter blends mythic grandeur with personal stakes. The cover, a striking collaboration between Russell and Michael T. Gilbert, captures Elric’s solemn resolve as he sails toward destiny.
In "The Dreaming City," Elric sails toward the legendary Imrryr, driven by love and vengeance as he seeks to rescue Cymoril from the clutches of his treacherous cousin Yyrkoon, who now rules the throne Elric once held. With allies like the enigmatic Jiku and the grim Count Smiorgan Baldhead at his side, Elric ventures into a realm where dreams and danger intertwine, facing the dark machinations of Arioch and the twisted legacies of kings past.
