A stunning comic book adaptation of the classic Elric: Bane of the Black Sword novel by Michael Moorcock. This is the fifth book in the bestselling fantasy series.

The Bane of the Black Sword is the fifth volume in the saga of Elric, the albino sorcerer who wields the terrible, soul-eating magical sword, STORMBRINGER. This book is a comic adaptation of the collected, interconnected, five novellas of the original novel. The first four stories 'Old Wounds', 'Three Kings in Darkness', 'The King Beneath the Hill' and the 'Flame Bringers' tell of the continuing, eternal struggle of Elric against the elder gods of chaos as Elric finally brings Stormbringer home and finds peace at last in the arms of his true love Zarozinia. Meanwhile in the last story, 'To Rescue Tanelorn', Elric's friend Rackhir the Red must travel through the five gates to seek aid from the Grey Lords in an effort to save the besieged city of Tanelorn from a horde of unimaginable evil.

Roy Thomas is an American comic book writer and editor who was Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. Along with Elric, he is also best known for his lengthy writing stints on X-Men, Avengers, DC's All-Star Squadron and for introducing Conan the Barbarian to American comics, helping to launch a sword-and-sorcery trend in the field. He was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2011.

Mark Pacella grew up in New Jersey and New York City. He's best known for his work on Alpha Flight for Marvel Comics in a story that introduced the first openly gay superhero. During his time in the industry, he worked for both Marvel and DC Comics, contributing art, with Klaus Janson, for the Redjac entry in DC's "Who's Who in Star Trek 2". His final comic work was on his creator owned Tooth and Claw mini-series for Image, a series that he wrote, drew, and colored. Since then he has also worked on a variety of films as a storyboard artist or conceptual artist including Spawn, Minority Report, and The Forbidden Kingdom.
