If memory serves me well, I think it would be in "The Bull and the Spear", the first in the second series of Corum.

GregDoes it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the boot-maker.

Huh, not having read the Corum books, I didn't realize he predated Revenge of the Rose, which I'm pretty sure is his first appearance in an Elric tale.

Then, as they climbed over the rubble of what had once been a gateway and began to make their way through piles of weed-grown masonry, the cat flew to the squat building with the yellow dome upon its roof. It flew twice around the dome and then came back to settle on Jhary's shoulder. - The King of the Swords

Not forgetting Mike's habit of rewriting editions of his earlier books (i.e. editing the Bastable books to tie in Gaynor/Stalin and The Rose - and even the Second Ether) - so you can't even say where things fit in chronologically in the Eternal Champion sequence, although you could say when they were first published. . .

Thanks for all the input, folks. I think it was The Queen of Swords. In
fact, that's what brought the question about. I had picked up the old
omnibus of the first Corum trilogy and noticed Gaynor mentioned in one of
the chapter titles of the second book. I was pretty sure Elric's first prose
encounter with Gaynor was in The Revenge of the Rose and I knew Gaynor had turned up in the Conan comic in the early 1970s. Of course in the multiverse "first" is a relative term...
