Elric: The Eternal Champion

Published together for the first time ever, this volume unites two of the greatest fantasy artists of all time, Philippe Druillet and James Cawthorn. Each of the two stories presented here were hailed as modern classics when first published in the early 1970s.

In Druillet’s Return to Melniboné, Elric, armed with his sentient runeblade Stormbringer, returns to the Dragon isle of Melniboné and to his cousin and lover Cymoril. Unbeknown to Elric, dark forces are gathering and a sinister conspiracy to steal Stormbringer and bring chaos to Melniboné is being forged.

James Cawthorn’s Stormbringer sees Elric’s wife, Zarozinia, kidnapped by servants of Chaos and ransomed for the runeblades, Mournblade and Stormbringer. Elric must enter the World of Chaos and confront Chardros the Reaper, Mabelode the Faceless, and Slotar the Old – the three most powerful Lords in the Realm of Chaos – and fight not just for the life of Zarozinia, but for all mankind.
