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.

Having been a fan of Michael Moorcock's Elric for a long time it is great to see an artistic rendition of the Dragon Lord that brings him to life - this is the definitive Elric.
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.
