Reviews
"Captures Moorcock's vision like nothing before!" Ron Marz (Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)
"A sweeping adventure, exquisitely adapted by some of comics' top talent" - FA Comics
"This spectacular, resplendently flamboyant adaptation is a deliciously elegant, savagely beautiful masterpiece of the genre effortlessly blending blistering action and gleaming adventure with the deep, darkly melancholic tone of the cynical, nihilistic, Cold-War mentality and era that spawned the original stories." - Comics Review
"Fantasy of the highest order, with dragons, pirates and magic swords coming together into an incredibly epic and robust world" - Adventures In Poor Taste
"A Classic Repackaging of a Classic Tale! 5 out of 5!" - Comic Spectrum
"Unforgettable action and intrigue...a must-read for any fans of science fiction, sorcery or sword-and-sorcery epics!" - Comics Bulletin
"Richly deserves to be back in print...can't wait to return to the dreaming city!" - SFX
"A terrific book." - Jeff Vaughn, Scoop
"Magic swords, epic quests, and gods dallying in the lives of poor confused mortals... such grand fun!" - Fanboy Comics
"An ideal introduction to the character" - Flickering Myth
"For any fan of Michael Moorcock's work, this is pretty much a must have." - Nerdly
"Part horror, part adventure, and all imagination - it's a terrific work and highly recommended!" - Comic of the Day
"Working together, these three creators made an adaptation that remains faithful to the original novel but never feels like a mere adaptation or retelling of the source material. They made Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone novel into their great comic book." - Newsarama
