Oh this is Morecook? I think I've read something by him.

It's Michael Moorcock. ARGH.
Young whippersnapper. Your assignment is to read all the books in the Eternal Champion series. Now.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Not Morecock? BWAHAHAHA!!! Yes I know, silly. Sorry.

Tasty. I always did like Elric. I wonder if they'll incorporate the whole parallel universe champion aspect or do it as a standalone. I suspect the latter.

Elric movies...*drool*

All I can say is about bloody time

I hear they are talking about getting Leonardo DiCaprio to play Elric.

A cruel jest, Assenpfeffer. Don't speak like that.

This just hit CNN.com, by the way.

Beware the usual misinformation from the mass media.

For young whippersnappers, check out these two sites for info about Michael Moorcock's Elric books:

- http://www.eclipse.co.uk/sweetdespise/moorcock/
- www.multiverse.org
- http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Michael_Moorcock.htm

White Wolf's Borealis fiction line republished Moorcock's Eternal Champion series in 15+ omnibus collections of novels. If you buy #5 (Elric: Song of the Black Sword) and #11 (Elric: The Stealer of Souls), you'll have the core of the Elric storyline.

Most of the links on my MM site are, alas, in need of revision/updating....

Elric is good, old fashioned Sword & Sorcery.

If you haven't read any of the stories, DO SO NOW. Modern "Fantasy" will seem gelded in comparison.
