The Von Bek Family.

[McTalbayne]

Ok, so the Von Bek Family is essentially on every layer of the Multiverse somewhere right? And at the end of the Dragon in the Sword is it hinted that Von Bek and the Eldren are actually the forefathers of Melnibone, or am i misunderstanding it?

"Dragon to Dragon, Eldren to Eldren. And Von Bek, what sort of destiny will he found, i Wonder? And what sort of history will come out of all that went on here? Another cycle must begin before we get another hint of the fate of Melnibone."

[Michael Moorcock]

Well, let's put it this way. They're big players. :)
Might be worth looking at the graphic novel re. how the Melniboneans got established in the world which terminated with Elric.

[McTalbayne]

Which graphic Novel is that?

[Michael Moorcock]

Um -- the one that's coming out now ? Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer.
Deals with a lot of early Melnibonean history, as well as Elric's.

Oh duh. I have the first 2. However, Im kind of waiting to read them till theyve all come out. I get more out of a story when i read it at once instead of over a period of several months.

I'm with you there, McTalbayne. I'd rather read them all in one go so that I don't forgot little details. Still, I flicked through the artwork, and it was looking mightily impressive.

Only three months to find out what I think of the whole thing! :)

[McTalbayne]

The artwork is Incredible, i agree. Ive been trying to not flip through my comics when i get them anymore. I do that and then i ruin surprises that would have been much more exciting had i not seen them before I read it. I did that with Astonishing X-Men and ruined the return of My favorite character of all time, Colossus. And im officially off on a tangent.
