Description

So before I was into comics, I was very much into reading all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy. It's actually the books that drew me in to comics ... Robert E. Howard's Conan books being first, followed quickly my Michael Moorcock's Elric and the Eternal Champion series. My brother had purchased a Savage Sword of Conan while he was in college and gave it to me ... which I quickly devoured ... since I had run out of Conan books. On the back cover of the SSOC, there was an ad by Bud Plant Comics, which offered the first 5 issues of Elric of Melnibone by Pacific Comics for $5. A clipping from SSOC and $5 later, I was introduced to P. Craig Russel and his vision of Elric. :-)

And I finally have a page!

Great story to go along with the art, Heidjer, and congrats on finally getting a page from this series after all these years! I love Russell's work. No matter who the penciller is, you can always recognize Russell's familiar, stylized inking.
