Elric in Conan Comics Back in Print

[Anonymous]

In case anyone is interested, but has not heard elsewhere:

Dark Horse comics currently has in print a series of graphic novels called the "Chronicles of Conan," which collects the early issues of the "Conan the Barbarian" comic books that were published by Marvel in the early 1970s. They were adapted by writer Roy Thomas and penciller Barry Windsor-Smith

Volume 3 of the series contains the two issues in which Conan meets Elric and they team up against Xiombarg and Gaynor. The credits note that the stories, titled "A Sword Called Stormbringer" and "the Green Empress of Melnibone," were based on a plot from Michael Moorcock and James Cawthorn.

Yes. Isn't this the thing where Elric is wearing the cone helmet? I can't get over the cone helmet thing. put an eye-patch on the guy then i can imagine him to be Corum. B.W.S. is a good artist though.

[Michael Moorcock]

Yes, Roy explains all that in the back of that volume.
Barry had only seen the cone-hat on a Lancer cover by Jack Caughan.
I didn't like the cover and liked it even less when Barry, thinking this was my idea, reproduced it. He's talked of doing another Elric sometime, but so far we haven't been free at the same time.
