It's been a while since I read Elric of Melnibone, so reading the graphic version jogged my mind on this and I always did wonder...
Elric steps through the Shade Gate, meets Rackhir, enters Ameeron, and just before he encounters Niun-Who-Knew-All, he and Rackhir fight some creatures (Pig, Snake, and Thing). Familiar scene, of course, right?
As 'Thing' dies, he whispers the name Frank with his dying breath. Now, considering the many crossovers and subtle interlinkages filling the EC Saga, am I right in assuming that this 'Thing' is, or is a reference to, Frank Cornelius?
Or was I reading wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much into things? 8O 8O 8O
