Elric. For me, one of the most frustrating characters in fantasy fiction. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to like him. I’ve tried reading the books and the comics, but something just never seemed to click for me. I liked the idea behind the character, the settings, and I like Michael Moorcock but, you know, you love the one you’re with. For me, Conan was always my fantasy character supreme. Love the books, love the comics even more. This beautiful looking book though may be my second chance with the character. It looks accessible to new readers, and a quick leaf through shows darn impressive art. Let’s take a look see.
If like me you are a novice when it comes to Elric,...

Elric Volume 1: The Ruby Throne may just be an introduction to the Albino Emperor of Melnibone but what an introduction it is. Julien Blondel, Didier Poli, Robin Recht and Jean Bastide have converted Michael Moorcock’s Elric to a graphic novel, and what we get is an orgy of blood, violence and nudity that would make Game of Thrones just a little jealous.
Elric sits on his throne seemingly at the end of his life, his energy spent and enthusiasm to rule waning. Typical of Melnibone’s decadent nature war is not far away and as barbarians make their way towards the city Elric’s advisers implore him to destroy the invaders with haste. Rising for battle and calling on gods and demons for strength he may win the battle,...
