Legend
The last living Appendix N author, and he's still going. I suppose it helps that he was only about 25 when he created Elric.
Previously, only movies could've had the budget to bring Elric to life. And his story is sprawling enough to require more than a trilogy (though its frequently episodic nature means you could condense it, if you had to). But now CGI has gotten affordable and good enough that you could see a TV series and not have to trim it to the bone.
Although, I would love to envision a world where Wendy Pini's animated adaptation happened. File that in the same timeline where Bakshi's Lord of the Rings got that part 2, I suppose.
I really am amazed he is still alive.
And with a new Elric book!
