That’s how I’ve been saying it for 30-some years now. Alice has Wonderland. There’s Middle Earth. Hyperboria may come to mind. Where I wanted to go was Melniboné -- perhaps that’s an overstatement. I wanted to be a fly on the wall because, frankly, the universe was too damn frightening and dark to actually want to go there, something might decide to kill me, or far, far worse...there’s a lot of fates worse than death in Melniboné. When Elric showed up, it was like everything was light beer and this was Scotch. I’d been listening to Celine Dion and then Led Zeppelin rolled up. I loved Lord of the Rings and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Elric showed up out of the mists of Norse Legend with a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack and changed everything. I missed the first appearance of Elric. I wasn’t born in 1961 when the first book was published, and I couldn’t read yet when he appeared in comic book form in the early issues of CONAN THE BARBARIAN from Marvel Comics (#14 and #15). That’s okay. When Elric first showed up, he was under the command of one of the seminal Silver Age writers, Roy Thomas, and the great Barry Windsor-Smith, but he had a weird red pointy hat that true Elric fans knew wasn’t appropriate. Elric and the kingdom of Melniboné make their comic book debut in “A Sword Called Stormbringer!” and “The Green Empress of Melniboné,” appearing in CONAN THE BARBARIAN #14 and #15. Windy City Comics publishes ELRIC: FALL OF THE DREAMING CITY, the first comic book entirely devoted to the Prince of Ruin. Elric appears in issues of HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE, starring in a comic written by Michael Moorcock and drawn by Frank Brunner. Another Moorcock eternal champion, Jerry Cornelius, also makes his first sequential art appearance in the magazine. You’ve got to understand something -- I was a pretty average Middle American kid growing up in the populous-but-has-a-small-town-heart city of San Antonio, Texas. I grew up about a 4-hour drive south of where Robert E. Howard, the Texan creator of Conan, grew up. Nowadays, the English-born Michael Moorcock lives in Bastrop, Texas -- an hour and 45 minutes north of where I used to ride my bike. Funny how it all comes together, isn’t it? It was all in my metaphorical backyard. Beautiful P. Craig Russell artwork on the cover. The flames, the gothic armor, wrapped up in a package that was a, ahem, graphic novel! Excuse me, what’s that? That’s right, the size of this original book was patterned after the European graphic novel format (mostly French) that was larger, magazine-sized, squarebound (no staples here!), longer in duration, and yes, God help us, more expensive. Slicker paper. Richer colors. Sharper images. It was only the second graphic novel that Mar- vel had ever published, right after THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL. There had been a few before this -- ECLIPSE’S SABRE, which I had entirely missed. This was a world-shaking event. Real fantasy comics in a gorgeous, deluxe package that would presage the way most people enjoy the medium 30 years later. Part 1 of Roy Thomas and P. Craig Russell’s “The Dreaming City” is published in EPIC ILLUSTRATED #3. The first collection of “The Dreaming City” is released by Marvel Comics in a graphic novel format. Roy Thomas and P. Craig Russell’s run with the albino sorcerer continues with issue #1 of ELRIC, released by Pacific Comics. Issue #1 of ELRIC: SAILOR ON THE SEAS OF FATE is released by First Comics, who continues to publish Elric comics through 1989 with the series ELRIC: WEIRD OF THE WHITE WOLF, ELRIC: THE VANISHING TOWER, and ELRIC: BANE OF THE BLACK SWORD. It was a relic from an alternate universe. I can still If you hadn’t guessed, for a guy who’s six-foot-two picture Elric emerging, his hands raised, his mouth and well over two hundred pounds, I could never open as he cast a spell. People didn’t do magic in relate to the Barbarian with a physique more like comics that was so cool. Yeah, there was Doctor a defensive lineman. I mean, wear some armor, Strange, but he was a superhero who hung out with dude. Why are you getting your hands dirty? I loved Spider-Man. Elric was pure, undiluted fantasy with- the elegant spires of Melniboné, with its Dreaming out the artifice of capes and tights. Elric was from City, and the romantic nomenclature: “Sailor on an alternate world that probably roasted Hobbits the Seas of Fate” just sounds so much better than in massive, debauched occultic ceremonies. “Cimmerian” to me. Don’t get me wrong, Conan is a triumph of literature. But I was always an Elric guy This wasn’t just a barbarian who could swing a at heart. sword, this guy could kill you with his mind. I’m going to say it again. He can murder you with his That’s the mythology, of course. That he’s a reverse- mind. Conan -- where Conan is physically fit, Elric is frail. Dorian Hawkmoon, the Duke of Köln, makes his comic book debut in the graphic adaptation of HAWKMOON: THE JEWEL IN THE SKULL. Eternal Champion Corum Jhaelen Irsei makes his first appearance in comics in THE CHRONICLES OF CORUM, drawn by a young Mike Mignola. Two years later in CORUM: THE BULL AND THE SPEAR, a young Jill Thompson would take the reins. Dark Horse/Topps publishes the first of the 7-issue ELRIC: STORMBRINGER, issue #0 of which is a short semi-autobiographical story written by Neil Gaiman on the influence Moorcock’s work had on him as a young man, entitled “One Life Furnished in Early Moorcock.” DC Comics publishes the first issue of the highly ambitious MICHAEL MOORCOCK’S MULTIVERSE, a 12-issue series written by Moorcock himself. Michael Moorcock writes a second series for DC Comics, entitled ELRIC: THE MAKING OF A SORCERER, drawn by Walt Simonson. Where Conan is brute survival of the fittest, Elric Gaiman’s ode to Elric in “One Life Furnished in Early is refined and cerebral. While Conan celebrates Moorcock”. Agreed, Neil. You got a much earlier violence, Elric broods on it and wrestles with forces start than me -- the comics had to lead me to the frightening and morally ambiguous. books -- but this is me tipping my hat to you, sir. Turning my head sideways, I can now see shades of Word is that Moorcock put a bit of Kullervo from Finnish mythology into Elric, and there’s definitely Elric himself in Dream, Gaiman’s generation-defining the breath of The Broken Sword, Poul Anderson’s lead character in Sandman. The prince of a kingdom, 1954 novel, in there. The Albino thing is from Monsier driven by conflict, to make hard choices...Oh, yeah, and Zenith. Go Google it all.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

The sun is shining on the gardens as I write this editorial, late in the evening, and all things are bright and beautiful. Moreover, exams have ended. Believe it or not, this conjunction of events is not pathetic fallacy on the part of your editor; in a decidedly un-English manner, it actually appears to be true. This is not a very small issue, somewhat to your editor’s amazement, given the preoccupation of most of us with other matters. My thanks go out to all the lovely contributors who have given their time to make this issue what it is. Especial thanks go to the wonderful and talented Louise Vincent, who is responsible for the pretty new cover that you have just seen. May it serve for many issues to come! This term we have a good balance between styles of content, from academic articles to poetry, via the Society’s usual detour to the realm of the extremely silly. (There is, of course, a degree of overlap between these.) But don’t take me at my word. Look on, and maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell! With warmest regards, Daeron alias Samuel M.

  • Breaking It All Down - the ‘Zine, He Didn’T Provide One Cover, He Provided Two
    Vol: 1. No: 2. Winter 2014 About the Front Cover When I asked Brian, who I’ve been friends with since High School, if he’d like to do a cover for the first issue of Breaking It All Down - The ‘Zine, he didn’t provide one cover, he provided two. After we decided which one to use for the first cover, I asked if I could use the second for the ‘zine’s second issue, and he said sure. About the Artist Brian A. Caslis is an artist living in Oregon. You can find more of his work at http://greencoat7.tumblr.com/ Breaking It All Down – The ‘Zine has reached its second issue! Hurray! In the time between issues, I’ve been swamped with schoolwork (boo), but I have been able to go to OryCon and say hello to Ben Yalow, Susanne Thompkins, and Jerry Kaufmann (yay). However, alas, due to all the excellent panels I went to, I didn’t get to spend as much time with them as I would like (boo). Though, I was able to meet some new people as well (yay). I also had a continuation of my Introduction to Anime series in Chris Garcia’s The Drink Tank (issue 361), which can be read at eFanzines.com. While the first part covered series from after 2001, that article covered some older series. This issue has the conclusion of the introductory sequence, with an article covering SF and fantasy manga. I do want to take a moment to give an open call for people who are interested in doing cover art for the fanzine.
