An unholy epic for your eyes: A review of Elric of Melnibone
Geek Native’s looked at the new releases of Elric of Melnibone and liked them. The Michael Moorcock Library Vol.1 – Elric of Melnibone is different insofar as it brings together the original 1980 comic adaptation into a hardback. The story is the same. At least, that’s the theory. In reality, this Elric of Melnibone feels […]

Chaos is awesome: A review of Elric – The Ruby Throne
“Slender but impressive” – two words which could be used to describe the skull-white, 1000 year old, lord of Melniboné or the latest hardback from Titan Comics. The Ruby Throne is the first in a new comic adaption of the books by Michael Moorcock. I’ve not read any of the Elric of Melniboné books but […]
