MICHAEL MOORCOCK'S ELRIC
RETURNS TO PRINT IN STYLE
WOODSTOCK, IL, March 2, 2001-
After a decade of waiting, Elric of Melniboné fans can rejoice; the Prince
of
Ruins returns in an exciting new adventure, The Dreamthief's Daughter.
Author Michael Moorcock reveals an unexamined chapter in his most famous
character's life. To the uninitiated, it's akin to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
returning to write a new Sherlock Holmes mystery, or to J.R.R. Tolkien
returning to add another book to The Lord of the Rings.
Specialty press publisher American Fantasy is marking the occasion by
issuing
a deluxe illustrated edition of The Dreamthief's Daughter, bringing together
eight of fantasy's finest artists to illustrate this novel of Fantasy's
Greatest Champion!
Artists Randy Broecker, Donato Giancola, Gary Gianni, Robert Gould, Michael
Kaluta, Todd Lockwood, Don Maitz and Michael Whelan present their own
interpretations of Moorcock's Eternal Champion, lending credence to the
assertion that this is the Golden Age of Fantasy Illustration. They have
produced incredible scenes from the book: fantastic visions of an
underground
world, a battle at the source of all creation, dragons in flight against a
war-torn landscape, and much more.
By assembling this unprecedented gathering of fantasy masters, and by using
the finest materials in crafting this book (archival quality cloth,
acid-free
paper, smyth-sewn binding, a two color stamping, and a clothbound slipcase),
American Fantasy has crafted a book to be sought after by collectors for
years to come. Limited to 600 numbered copies, this first US edition will
be
published in March of 2001-each copy to be signed by the author and all the
artists.
The Retail Price for this signed/numbered edition is $125.00 (plus $7.00
Postage and Handling). To order a copy, consumers should send a check or
money order to American Fantasy, P.O. Box 1059, Woodstock, Illinois 60098,
or order directly online at www.american-fantasy.com. Copies will also be
available from science fiction and comic specialty stores.

THE ARTISTS
Robert Gould: Long associated with Michael Moorcock, Gould did the covers
for
Ace Fantasy's paperback and hardcover editions, as well as the cover for The
Weird of the White Wolf graphic novel. With this book, he gives us not only
a
striking wrap-around cover (a full version of the cover that appears on the
Warner Books trade edition), but a new full page B&W illustration, and three
B&W chapter headings.
Don Maitz: Hugo and World Fantasy Award winning artist Don Maitz, has
painted
a stunning original four color frontispiece for this limited edition,
depicting Elric and his daughter Oona astride a powerful dragon in flight.
(See his other work at http://home.paravia.com/DonMaitz.)
Donato Giancola: One of fantasy's most popular artists with covers gracing
bestsellers by C.J. Cherryh, David Drake, Barbara Hambly, and Tolkien's The
Hobbit plus the latest omnibus edition of The Lord of the Rings
(http://www.donatoart.com), Giancola contributes a full page B&W portrait of
Elric fallen in battle, four B&W chapter headings and the signature page
illustration.
Gary Gianni: Famous for his incredible rendition of another tall, gaunt
adventurer in The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, Gianni just finished Worms
of
the Earth for Wandering Star, and started work on The Dreamthief's Daughter.
He does a splendid rendition of the sorcerous Elric in his full page B&W
illustration in addition to his four B&W chapter headings and two B&W
section
illustrations.
Todd Lockwood: A Chesley Award winner who has been creating blockbuster
covers for TSR, Lockwood gives us a stunning series of illustrations of
Count
Ulric von Bek: one full page B&W illustration and four B&W chapter headings.
Randy Broecker: It's been years since pen and ink master Broecker has
illuminated a high fantasy novel as he did in the limited editions of Tanith
Lee's Night's Master and Death's Master, but he returns to pure fantasy
illustration after writing his mammoth Fantasy in the 20th Century: An
Illustrated History. His full page B&W piece depicting Elric summoning
supernatural aid and four B&W chapter headings show his exquisite linework
at
its best.
Michael Kaluta: Famous for his comic rendition of The Shadow and hundreds of
amazing comic covers, Kaluta also designed some of this generation's most
influential illustrated books: Metropolis, The Swords of Shahrazar, and The
Lost Valley Of Iskander plus the incredible 1994 Tolkien Calendar (see
http://www.kaluta.com). An avowed Moorcock fan, he has done a full page B&W
portrait of Oona, Elric's daughter, the title character of the book and
three
B&W chapter headings.
Michael Whelan: 14 time Hugo Award winner, 3 time World Fantasy Award
winner,
cover artist of DAW's Elric series and illustrator of US hardcover edition
of
the Elric novel, The Vanishing Tower, Michael Whelan has long been
associated
with Moorcock's Albino Prince. Mr. Whelan wanting to be involved with this
book, provided an Elric line drawing for the Illustrations page.
