Owner's Description
A very nice copy of the key issue Conan #15 with near-perfect cover centering and orientation. Actually I do not really like these Elric stories (as in #14), so this is not one of my favorite Conan stories, but still this book is considered a key issue being the second comic book to contain a story of Elric of Melniboné:
"Elric of Melniboné[1] is a fictional character created by Michael Moorcock, and the antihero of a series of sword and sorcery stories centering in an alternate Earth. The proper name and title of the character is Elric VIII, 428th Emperor of Melniboné. Later novels by Moorcock mark Elric as a facet of the Eternal Champion [...] Elric first appeared in comics in 1972, in Conan the Barbarian issues 14–15, an adventure in two parts entitled "A Sword Called Stormbringer!" and “The Green Empress of Melniboné”. The comic was written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, based on a story plotted by Michael Moorcock and James Cawthorn".
