IN 1961, WHEN ELRIC OF MELNIBONÉ MADE HIS first appearance, Michael Moorcock was a young man in a hurry. Fast forward 60-plus years and Moorcock’s new Elric novel The Citadel Of Forgotten Myths is shortly to be published. For all that Elric is one of Moorcock’s Eternal Champions, a paladin who keeps Law and Chaos in Balance, this wasn’t originally supposed to happen.
