Description

Even though Elric himself isn't on it, I like the spare, shadowy look of this page, and that creepy last panel. Issue 3 page 26.

Elric first appeared in print in Michael Moorcock's novella "The Dreaming City" in (Science Fantasy No. 47, released in June of 1961). A doomed albino antihero, Elric is a sorcerer, emperor of Melniboné and has become one of the most popular characters in fantasy literature, ranking among such famed fantasy heroes as Solomon Kane, Kull, and Conan. In addition to the original stories (which have been continuously in print since the 1970's), Elric has appeared in role-playing games, music, film, and, of course, comics. Like Conan before him, Elric's graphic debut occurred under the pen of writer Roy Thomas (in Conan The Barbarian #14, 1972) and Thomas would go on to write the character in numerous other series, including Elric: Sailor on the Seas of Fate, Elric: The Weird of the White Wolf as well as the story this particular original art page is from, the 1987-1988 series Elric: The Vanishing Tower. It is signed by hand by both Roy Thomas and Jan Duursema.

Awesome grid of no dialogue panels for straight up Duursema storywork to get to that final serene closing shot.
