V.3 - Elric

Collecting the classic 1980s comic adaptation of the Elric of Melnibone novels by fantasy legend Michael Moorcock! Adapted by former Marvel Comics editor, Roy Thomas, and beautifully rendered by longtime comics illustrator Jan Duursema (Star Wars).

After a self-imposed exile from his home on the Dragon Isle, Elric of Melnibone seeks solace in isolation, hoping to escape the horrors of his past. But with the power of furious gods, and his sword Stormbringer hungry for souls, he can never be free of the darkness. Not when it lives inside him… After having free the sailor Smiorgan from violent captors, Elric accepts his help on a quest when he is summoned to an affluent city of merchant princes. There he meets the endearing yet furtive heiress who entreats the White Wolf to reunite with her lost love. Drawn to the task by a dark and treacherous feeling, Elric accepts. But as they begin their journey across the sea, a terrible maelstrom engulfs the ship, leaving them in grave peril.

BY CROM! Robert E. Howard's famous Cimmerian UNCENSORED! Discover the true Conan, unrestrained, violent, and sexual. Read the story as he intended! The Cimmerian Vol 2 includes two complete stories, The People of The Black Circle, and The Frost-Giant's Daughter, plus bonus material, including the original prose stories, in one hardcover collection! In The People of the Black Circle, the king has just died in the kingdom of Vendhya, struck down by the spells of the black prophets of Yimsha. The king’s sister, Yasmina, decides to avenge him…and contacts Conan. Sylvain Runberg and prodigious designer/illustrator Jae Kwang Park adapt one of the most ambitious and complex Conan stories of Robert E. Howard. An adventure where epic battles, witchcraft and plots mingle in a mystical and scary Orient. Where revenge is an art… In The Frost-Giant's Daughter, Conan, the only survivor of a ferocious battle, sits in the midst of a bloodstained snow field. When the fight is over, the Cimmerian suddenly finds himself overcome with deep weariness and disgust. Until the moment he meets a redheaded woman of supernatural beauty, blinding like the glow of the sun on the snow. A mythical tale both in both form and substance, The Frost-Giant’s Daughter is masterfully adapted by Robin Recht, who manages to capture the essence of this whirlwind tale of violent desire…a true love trap in which the force of will of the Cimmerian is put to the test.
