Thoughts on Elric?

All you french fags better be fucking buying this come September.

>>90083209
Pretty sure it's against Sharia law so it'll sell like shit.
>>
>>90083209
Dumping one more pic for Lord Arioch.
>>
>>90083232
Explain.
>>
>>90083261
France is mostly Muslim and they get offended by everything.
>>
Fuck it. Here's one more. And a video that can help people that have no idea on where to begin.

>>90083209
No, thanks. I already have Thomas' and Russell's Elric comics.
>>
>>90083209
I've never heard of this but it looks neat, kind of Dark Souls-y

But anon kun.
Even Michael Moorckock endorsed the frogs.
>>90083625
The Japanese fucking love Elric.
Even in Daicon IV, the most featured element in it besides the bunny girl is Stormbringer.

And Yoshitaka Amano made a ton of stuff with Elric.

>>90083737
I'm sorry, but it's P. Craig Russell we're talking about.
>>
I prefer Hawkmoon.

Can't argue with that.
>>
>>90083209
did anybody ever story time the ruby throne?
>>
>>90084121
I did months back. Fuck, i actually storytimed the entire Elric saga.
It's actually midnight here atm so i ain't gonna do it but someone else should.
>>
>>90084166
I guess you don´t have the links nor do they still work?
>>
>>90084206
Sorry man. Don't need links to them since i actually have the books for myself.
They shouldn't be hard to find though.

There. Took me a minute of searching.
As far as the original comics go, you're shit out of luck unless you wanna find a decent torrent of them.
>>
>>90084277
how many original comics did the even make?
>>
>>90083209
I don't like Elric. I tried to, I've read like half the books, but no cigar.
>>
>>90084418
Quite a few but from different publishers.
The core saga of Elric was done.
Corum and Hawkmoon were also done.

The bibliography while influential is a chronological mess.
>>
>>90084487
I just found the dreaming city and the new run

http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Elric/TPB-1?id=84024#1

any way thanks for sharing

looks cool. I´m always a sucker for fantasy comics

do you know any other classic series?
>>
>>90083279
France=/=UK.
>>
>>90084487
>>90084587
oh by the way. what should I read first the new run or dreaming city?
>>
>>90084486

I'm with you, I can see how impressive its writing is, and how ridiculously influential, but it just doesn't do it for me. It might just be that so many people have been stealing its best bits for forty years, which blunts its impact; although I did read it twenty-five years ago, so maybe not?
>>
>>90083279
Just one thread. Just ONE without some /pol/-tard shitting it up. That's all I ask.
>>
>>90084587
>>90084631
Can't say about any other classic series in comic books other than the ones that everyone has talked about time and again.
In terms of novels, try the wheel of time series if you have a spare month on hand to digest it all.

>oh by the way. what should I read first the new run or dreaming city?
>Reading the dreaming city first
OH SHIT NIGGA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
No. Either start with the original adaptation of Elric of Melnibone or read the Ruby Throne/ Stormbringer First.
Dreaming City is the first Elric story but it's the midpoint chronologically.
>>
>>90083209
Has there ever been a Nine Princes in Amber comic?
>>
>>90084844
The google fu is weak with you.

>>90084672
>ridiculously influential

Speaking of that, is Moorcock the one who came up with all the Law/Order dualism or it was a thing before?
>>
>>90084934

There are prior usages, Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions did something similar, but Moorcock's Elric was the real breakout for the concept into wider awareness. Also the eight-pointed star banner (seen in WH40k) comes directly from Moorcock's work.
>>
>>90084934
That was Poul Anderson which Moorcock admitted was an influence on him.
>>90085018
Has it right.
Also, while the concept of the multiverse was already in use by the time The Eternal Champion was written, the concept of of one being having multiple facets of itself in every existence is(even today) pretty novel and trippy.
>>
>>90085018
I think it was Moorock that made the point that Law and Chaos aren't necessarily divided as good and evil but rather focus and direction versus possibility and imagination. Wished he had expanded on this in the original saga but growing pains and whatnot.
>>
>>90084768
>wheel of time series
Overrated
