The initial series was 6 books. They're the best of the lot I think. Michael Moorcock's characters Corum (the Swords Trilogy, Chronicals of Corum) and Hawkmoon (numerous books) are also fantastic reads. All of these characters are tied in with the author's concept of the Eternal Champion and the conflict between Law and Chaos. Something that's had a lasting impact on the genre of heroic fantasy in various ways.

If you can find the works, comics artist P Craig Russell's depictions of the stories are beautiful adaptations in his distinctive style. When I was young me and my best friend would often debate over who was superior, Conan or Elric. He was a Howard's Conan fan. Those books had the lovely Frazetta covers that are now classics. Of course Conan was a neanderthal compared to the brooding, doomed sorcerer king and anti hero Elric lol. My opinion of Conan has softened over the years...

Some Russell Elric Images and pages...
