ELRIC OF MELNIBONÉ (1976)
Oil on Canvas Board - 24” x 18”

Originally published in 1972 as THE DREAMING CITY, this novella was later reprinted by DAW and would be the first of my Elric covers. 1/2

Elric raises Stormbringer over his head, with one hand gripping the hilt and the other the end of the blade. His white hair spills out beneath a black winged helm. He wears dark brown leather with a sinuous dragon on the front of his tunic. His ornate bracers are encrusted with jewels. The buckle of his belt is the face of a demon. Behind him rendered in purples and blues are deformed creatures of chaos.

Wearing his iconic dragon helm, raising Stormbringer defiantly, the last emperor of Melniboné stands at the forefront of Chaos as represented by a legion of demons.
