Hey, anyone else out there read any of the really early works of Michael Moorcock's "Sojan" stories, precurser to a lot of his later work with the Eternal...
The interviews in the last part of the edition have some interesting insights into the creation and influences that Moorcock used to create the Elric and his...
Here's a story-line concept. I see many similarities, and opposites, between Elric of Melnibone, and Heavy Metal Mag's Taarna. I think the two would compliment...
One of my favorite movies... I've used several of the concepts in my games over the years. The Taarna link is plausible, although I'd think of her as a...

I've never heard of a re-incarnation story, interesting. Taarna does have the sword symbol on her neck but that's assumed to be a tattoo proving her worth as a...
Ok, here's another little interesting topic. I'm such a devil's advocate! LOL Who is the more powerful of the eternal champions? Elric? - With Stormbringer and...
I'm not really a big fan of Corum. His hand and eye never did much for me. Anyway, he had to kill whatever he wanted to use before he could use it against...
Well for myself it has more to do with which one of them I can relate to at the time as I'm going through life...I don't know all the Eternal Champions...
the most powerful champion...lets' see you're sayin if if all the champions were stranded on an island in a "Survivor" setting and in the end " There can be...
I'm not sure who the most powerful is, but I think Elric is the least powerful. He has a powerful weapon and powerfull alies, but both weapon and alies are...
The most powerful is Manfred Von Bek for a simple reason. That guy is a pimp ! That and he survived the French Revolution. Dominic Lopez <dominic@...>...
All very good points by everyone. I must agree that it seems that Elric seems to have the most "weaknesses" out of all, but then again, many of his foes ...
Corum has always been one of my favorites, possibly most favorite. One of my own characters has a cybernetic hand and eye which were directly inspired by...
Here's the problem. If we took all the incarnations of the Eternal Champion and told them to fight each other, they would probably gang up on us helpess oafs....
very well put to all, not to sway too far from the subject, but was thinking, what i enjoyed the most about the moorecock novels and the Eternal Champion was...
yeah sorry about that,.... i ment to continue.... the hero concept that moorecock gave in the eternal champion...that the single "hero" exsisted in a multitude...
In reply to below: You could go as far as adding every single hero ever written about outside Moorcock's multiverse! Luke Skywalker, Conan, Taarna, Red Sonja,...
Referring to the comments earlier about how 'any hero could be the Eternal Champion' Moorcock actually based a lot of his ideas for the Eternal Champion on...
I've been a long time fan* of Nietzsche. Not so much that I went out and purchased his books, but I've read a good bit about him and about his writing. I...
interesting Gavin, and very well put...what i was tryin to say.... thank you ... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web...
I myself am a long time fan of Nietzsche. Between 96 and 98 I read Also Sprach Zarathustra 3 times, and have plowed through many of his other books including...
... I recently read Camille Paglia's "Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson". She talks a LOT about the Dionysian / Appolonian...
Hey great to see these comments being posted. I'm a big fan of Joseph Campbell and his theories. I've read all his works and noticed the similarities to...
So how about the Eternal Champion's other opposite, 'The Eternal Coward'? At least Death sees it that way in the novels of Dicsworld by Terry Pratchett about...
In a figurative sense you could say every hero is the Eternal Champion, but in a more literal sense within the structure of the stories themselves only some...
Other non MM heroes who may be the Champion: He-Man, Shaft, Banastre Tarleton, Corwin (the dude from that god awful movie Krull), Hamlet (who does after all...
