You can see Three Hearts and Three Lions in the first Eternal Champion story. Long time since I read either of those but I think you're right. |

 Michael Moorcock's Elric: Volumes 1-4 (Box Set)
Product Description
The boxed-set collection of the stunning comic adaptations of the classic Elric of Melniboné novels by Michael Moorcock!
Elric of Melniboné is the tortured hero of Michael Moorcock’s classics fantasy novels. His stories are brought to life in these exquisite graphic novel adaptations, collected together in this glorious boxed-set for the first time!
Fans of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and high fantasy fiction will reap the thrills and spills of this epic quadrilogy!
THE RUBY THRONE
Elric, the albino emperor, has ruled Melniboné for millennia – a feat made possible through magic and various herbs that serve to strengthen and prolong his life. However, Elric’s empire is crumbling before him and now his envious cousin and prince of Melniboné, Yyrkoon, plots to claim the Ruby Throne for himself.
Yet when Elric’s people come under the threat of a pirate attack, Elric believes that he can once again restore his authority and regain their faith by defeating the pirates. However, the true cost of this task will force him to reveal his allegiance to the dark Arioch, the most dominant of the Lords of Chaos…
STORMBRINGER
When his people are mercilessly massacred, Elric, the albino former Emperor of the ancient island of Melniboné is cast out into the world. However, fate brings him into the possession of Stormbringer – the fabled, bloodthirsty demon-sword that will sustain him and dominate his destiny.
THE WHITE WOLF
A year has passed since Elric left Imrryr, his palace and his throne, leaving behind a heartbroken Cymoril. For a year he has walked the Young Kingdoms, under the distant gaze of his protector, Arioch. A year since he traded his skills as a wizard and fighter to the highest bidder, forging, in each battle, the legend of the albino warrior whose Black Sword terrifies the bravest of warriors.
Today he is no longer Elric de Melnibone, the four hundred and twenty-eighth Emperor of the people of R’lin K’ren A’a. Today, the Young Kingdoms know him as the White Wolf.
THE DREAMING CITY
The albino emperor, Elric of Melniboné, is exiled from his home and cursed to walk the land under the influence of the god of chaos, Arioch.
With his sword Stormbringer, Elric must find his way through the unknown, unaware he is being sought by his long-lost love. But is she looking to re-kindle their love, or something far more sinister?Titan Comics 256 Pages ISBN 9781787738546 £69.99 $79.99 Release Date: 27 September 2022Amazon links: www.amazon.com/gp/product/178773854Xwww.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/178773854X |

As someone who only got into S&S style fantasy within the past 18 months or so, I can say that reading the Elric saga played a huge part in capturing my interest. I had heard great things about it, and was lucky enough to find a copy of the first three books in my college library. It really blew me away. I'll admit that Moorcock's prose struck me as a little straightforward and not as artsy as I usually like, but the story itself and the character of Elric were terrific. The undercurrent of psychedelic horror running through the series set it apart from other fantasy series I had read.
Last year I read the first three books of the Corum series, and while I enjoyed it, it didn't really hook me like Elric had. I found the character of Corum himself to be a very interesting concept, but the story seemed a little bland for my tastes. I still want to check out the Erekose series. I haven't read any of the Elric novels outside of the main six book DAW sequence, but I might have to check out this new one when it comes out.

The first three Corums are pretty good, the last three seem to be a push to get to an outcome. The Erekose stories are a bit challenging, especially Dragon on the Sword. Hawkmoon's the only one who gets a happy ending. |

Could also maybe give The Warhound and the World's Pain a shot. Perhaps also try The Fortress and the Pearl as a relatively stand alone yarn from the Elric series.

Maybe it was just me but I found the whole old White Wolf Von Bek volume on the challenging side. Anything after Quest For Tanelorn began to get extremely complex. |

Maybe it was just me but I found the whole old White Wolf Von Bek volume on the challenging side. Anything after Quest For Tanelorn began to get extremely complex. Warhound and the World's Pain is the first of the Von Bek books, approx 200 pages and a more straightforward read than the rest, which are longer and, as you say, more complex. I wouldn't recommend any more of the Von Bek books to a relatively new reader for the reason you mention. The second of the Von Bek series City in the Autumn Stars for instance is definitely a more consciously literary picaresque which works in alchemical symbolism amongst other things.* The Fortress of the Pearl is probably at the crossover point between the older yarns like Sailor on the Seas of Fate and the later more literary Elric novels like The Revenge of the Rose. *Wikipedia states that City in the Autumn Stars was written in tandem with The Laughter of Carthage, one during the day and one at night - an astounding feat! |
