"A sweeping adventure, exquisitely adapted by some of comics’ top
talent” - FA Comics
"This spectacular, resplendently flamboyant adaptation is a
deliciously elegant, savagely beautiful masterpiece of the genre
effortlessly blending blistering action and gleaming adventure with
the deep, darkly melancholic tone of the cynical, nihilistic,
Cold-War mentality and era that spawned the original stories." -

work and highly recommended!" - Comic of the Day
"Working together, these three creators made an adaptation that
remains faithful to the original novel but never feels like a mere
adaptation or retelling of the source material. They made Michael
Moorcock’s Elric of Melniboné novel into their great comic book." -
