DESCRIPTION
A limited edition print to mark the 40th anniversary of the classic artwork 'The Dragon Lord'.
Commissioned by Big O Posters (UK/Germany/USA) in 1976, this image formed part of a set of twelve Michael Moorcock-inspired illustrations which were published as posters and in the calendar 'Wizardry and Wild Romance'. Matthews says that Moorcock was a joy to work with, offering design suggestions but never dominating the art. Of the twelve, 'The Dragon Lord' was among the most popular and seemed to epitomise at a stroke - of Elric's runesword Stormbringer perhaps - the essence of the Eternal Champion epoch.
The image was later licensed by Roxxcalibur for their 2011 album Lords of the NWOBHM.

Elric was a constant companion in my teenage years and I remember sitting stunned after finishing Stormbringer at the day long CSNY concert at Wembley in 1974. I had a postcard of this artwork on my wall at collage and it has always been one of my favourites. I was especially pleased to see that this signed edition was available. The print is beautiful and Rodneys signature is a piece of art in itself.. I’ve loved his work since the 70’s and really pleased that I finally have a piece that reminds me of those times.
The print quality is phenomenal. Very happy to have this fantasy masterpiece hanging on my wall.
Ever since I read the Elric books a as teenager I loved this cover artwork and I'm very happy to own such a beautiful print of it now. The print quality is great and the contrasting golden yellow and black colours look brilliant printed on this high quality paper. Perfect edition of an iconic artwork!
