by Olly MacNamee
Titan Comics are adapting Michale Moorcock’s cult fantasy saga into comic book form with issue #1 out September 5th, written by Julien Blondel, with Jean-Luc Cano and Jean Bastide, with stunning art by Robin Recht, and Julien Telo, all wrapped up with a Tim Sale cover (above). Along with an outline for the saga, we have your preview below.
A year has passed since Elric left Imrryr, his palace and his throne, leaving behind a heartbroken Cymoril. For a year he has walked the Young Kingdoms, under the distant gaze of his protector, Arioch. A year since he traded his skills as a wizard and fighter to the highest bidder, forging, in each battle, the legend of the albino warrior whose Black Sword terrifies the bravest of warriors. Today he is no longer Elric de Melnibone, the four hundred and twenty-eighth Emperor of the people of R’lin K’ren A’a. Today, the Young Kingdoms know him as the White Wolf.
