The Moorcock Library: Elric - The Dreaming City by Roy ThomasMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Moorcock Library: Elric - The Dreaming City is an adaptation of the Moorcock novel of the same name, originally published by First Comics in the 1980s.
This is going to be a short one. P. Craig Russell's art is gorgeous and his Elric is particularly expressive in this volume. His depiction of Melnibone is spot on. Yrkoon doesn't look like I picture him but that can't be helped.
Roy Thomas shouldered his share of the load, using Moorcock's descriptions in the captions but not going crazy with it, letting P. Craig Russell's art do the heavy lifting.
The Moorcock Library: Elric - The Dreaming City is a gorgeous book depicting the first of Elric's many tragedies and many betrayals. Five out of five stars.
