Preview Titan's Fantasy and Sci-Fi Fall Offerings – Elric: The Ruby Throne And Void

Titan's already full steam ahead for early Autumn with a fantasy-driven graphic novel, Elric: The Ruby Throne and a sci-fi epic graphic novel: Void.

Elric: The Ruby Throne is an adaptation into the comics medium of Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné  novels, written by  Julien Blondel with art by Didier Poli and Robin Recht. Moorcock has been involved in supporting this adaptation and has also written an introduction to the book.

The description is as follows:

The ancient island of Melniboné has been ruled by Elric, the albino emperor, for millennia. Reliant on magic and herbs for his strength and prolonged life, Elric's grip on Melniboné is crumbling, as his people slide into decadence. Now his envious cousin Yyrkoon, Prince of Melniboné, plots to overthrow him and claim the Ruby Throne for himself!


And here's our preview of The Ruby Throne:

Next up, Void, written by Herik Hanna with art by Sean Phillips, is a "gripping science fiction thriller". Phillips excellent track-record as an artist certainly recommends the book, as does his familiarity with fantasy and horror elements.

The book is described as follows:

The crew and inmates of Goliath 01 have been massacred by the twisted Coloner Mercer. Now this prison ship in space drifts, powerless and empty – but for the dead.

 John, sole survivor of the massacre, must find a way to escape this floating, oppressive tomb –without falling prey to Mercer's murderous attentions…!
