Michael Moorcock's Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress

Comic book writer, game author, and journalist Julien Blondel, worked as a radio host for 14 years, before becoming a DJ. In 1994, he abandoned the electronica scene for a career in writing. Since then, he's written numerous successful screenplays, comics, and short stories.Jean-Luc Cano is an author and director for television, film, and videogames. He wrote the original story for the hit game Life Is Strange.Described as a rising star in the European comics scene, Valentin Secher has now taken over the graphic design of Michael Morlock's Elric, for the fifth volume. He has been published by Titan Comics with the title Khaal, and by Humanoids with The Metabaron Book.

“The best graphic adaptation of the story, however, has to be the current one by Julien Blondel and his team. Not only have they stayed faithful to the spirit of the book, but they have made subtle additions to the story, which, had I thought of them fifty years and more ago, I would have included.” Michael Moorcock“The latest chapter in Julien Blondel’s graphic novel adaptation of the Elric saga is as worthy a work as the previous ones … The artwork by Valentin Secher shows similar craft and cunning. The world of Elric is dark and drab, yet with vibrancy and life beneath the doom and gloom. The original stories’ themes of decay and a world in decline are well echoed in the imagery here.” Kabooooom“One of the most iconic and well-regarded characters in all of fantasy fiction. No stranger to the comics realm, Elric continues to excite and captivate over sixty years after his first appearance … Perfect for fans of sword-and-sorcery fantasy comics like Conan The Barbarian as well as lavishly illustrated comics." Comics Beat"If Titan Comics takes this series to the limit --adapting countless stories of Elric - I’d rather sit down with a stack of their books to read over and over than watching the Extended Versions of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit." Sci Fi Monkeys“Gorgeous comic, as all the Elric comics by Secher and Blondel are.” Eternal Crusader“As always, Elric’s greatest struggle is not just against his enemies, but with his own weapon—one that may no longer be certain it wants him as its master.” First Comics News“Detailed art and luminous colors” The Dragon's Cache“The existentialism of Elric’s world, divided between the balance of “law” and “chaos”, is compelling, to say the least … I love the internal struggle Elric faces under duress by external factors beyond his control, and how that shapes his interactions with reality.” In Asian Spaces
