Own the Complete Beginning of the Elric Saga in Collectible First DAW Printings
This highly sought-after collectible set includes the first three pivotal novels of Michael Moorcock’s legendary Elric Saga, all in their respective First Mass Market Paperback Printings from DAW Books (1976-1977). These editions introduced countless readers to the dark, imaginative world of the albino emperor.
The set includes:
-
Elric of Melniboné (October 1976)

The Weird of the White Wolf (March 1977)
Follow Elric, the tragic, soul-sick Emperor of the ancient and decadent island of Melniboné, as he grapples with his destiny as a reluctant Eternal Champion. The saga chronicles his quest for the sentient, soul-devouring runeblade Stormbringer, his journeys across the Multiverse where he meets other incarnations of the Champion, and the climactic destruction of his home city, Imrryr.
Moorcock’s work is a foundational cornerstone of Sword and Sorcery and Dark Fantasy, known for its philosophical depth and poetic prose. This matching set of the initial DAW releases is essential for serious collectors of Michael Moorcock and classic 1970s fantasy literature.
