Swell photo here of 2008 SFWA Grandmaster Michael Moorcock, courtesy of Del Rey‘s editor-in-chief Betsy Mitchell. This morning, GalleyCat posted Betsy’s photo, along with a sizable article about Mike’s honors and my collaboration with him on ELRIC: THE STEALER OF SOULS. Pretty solid piece by Ron Hogan…..check it out!
Found this through Google search for Moorcock Elric. So glad to see Mike looking healthy and happy in 2008. I was doing research for a writing class in which I was asked to pick three of my favorite literary characters and one of the choices is Elric. Words can’t describe how much enjoyment I have gotten through the years from the Eternal Champion saga. Also, I heard about a movie in the works – it’s definitely time for that, after seeing what Jackson did with the Ring Trilogy and “Underworld Rise of the Lycans”.
Hi, Jeff — Good luck with that paper, and yeah, I can’t wait to see what an ELRIC film will look like. I’m hoping the filmmaking team (whomever ends up doing it) will do it right, with the same quality with which Guillermo Del Toro interpreted Mike Mignola’s HELLBOY.
