*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for this books category, with an image for each book. Michael Moorcock is certainly one of the most productive and versatile Science Fiction and Fantasy authors around. I can fondly remember reading much of his output during my formative years. His characters, landscapes and scenarios are eccentric; haunting and memorable. Most of his work can be considered part of his Eternal Champion mythos (although I suspect some of it was retrospectively so declared). In this third and penultimate part of a substantial re-working of our listing, we include the stories of Jerry Cornelius and Michael Kane. Moorcock hints in many places that Cornelius may be an aspect of the Eternal Champion. Characters from the Cornelius novels show up in much of Moorcock’s other fiction. Cornelius himself is an urban adventurer, a hipster of ambiguous and occasionally polymorphous gender; certainly the most unorthodox of Moorcock’s heroes, starring in a quartet of books. Michael Kane is an Earthman who adventures on ancient Mars, in the manner of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s John Carter, whose stories are the source material to which Moorcock pays tribute. The Kane Martian trilogy was originally published under the pseudonym Edward P Bradbury. More information, including condition notes, can be found in our catalogue.
