Elric of Melniboné

Adapted from Michael Moorcock's iconic fantasy novels, this series from Graphitti Designs brings the doomed albino emperor Elric of Melniboné to comics with lush, intricate artwork by P. Craig Russell. Launched in 1986, it captures the brooding, tragic atmosphere of Elric's world, where his reliance on the soul-drinking sword Stormbringer sets him on a path of destruction and melancholy. Though only a single issue was released, it remains a celebrated, faithful interpretation of a cornerstone of dark fantasy.
