What's this then? Sounds interesting

I've had a hard time reading Moorcock ever since I read his essay on
the subject of the Elric series, in _Elric at the End of Time_.

Have you ever read "Gloriana, the Unfulfilled Queen"? from recollection
this is one of the best (and different) Moorcock works that I have read,
reminiscent of Gormenghast. I suggest that you give it a go as I don't
remember it being Warhammeresque. Which reminds me. Have you ever read any
of the comic strip Thrud the Barbarian? There is a hugely amusing sent up
of Elric. Eric of BoneMalone with his feared sword Stoatbringer. If you can
get a copy buy it. It sends up the whole fantasy thing in a really creative
way. I did have a copy once but it long since disappeared into the ether.
Anyone know if this is still available??

I just read _City in the Autumn Stars_, which starts out as a truly
wonderful historical adventure, with a very subtle and understated
alchemical / mystical subtext.  Then all of a sudden, it turned into
another WarHammer-style grotestque and overwrought dark fantasy.  I
was hideously disappointed.
