I'm a longtime fan of Michael Moorcock, having collected of the Elric books published by DAW. (I'll admit: it's been a while since I've read them all).This hardcover volume was originally published as two comics. I haven't seen the previous installments in this new series, but this story has a haunting, dreamlike quality. The art is dark, but mesmerizing nonetheless. Check it out!
