The first graphic novel in this ground-breaking series written by the
legendary Michael Moorcock and illustrated by one of the true masters of
the comic arts, Walt Simonson.
Collecting the first six issues of the Multiverse series, the story sees
diverse heroes from Moorcock's sprawling Eternal Champion series
united in a common quest to stop the criminal mastermind Silverskin from
destroying the multiverse.
MULTIVERSE is Moorcock's epic 12 issue series combining three unique
and separate storylines from the Eternal Champion novels into one
centuries-spanning epic story that unites Elric of Melnibone, Sir Seaton
Begg, Silverskin, Sam Oakenhurst and Rose Von Beck in an adventure told
across thousands of years of time.
With one of three artists illustrating each story, Walt Simonson on
Moonbeams and Roses, John Ridgeway on Duke Elric and Mark Reeve on
The Metatemporal Detective. Set across three unique locations and
time-lines, the three story arcs follow the mutual search for the
enigmatic underworld crime lord, Silverskin concluding with the
convergence of the three plots.
In Moonbeams and Roses, hero Jack Karaquazian does battle in a
meta-universal game of chance with leading characters from the Moorcock
universe including Moorcock and Simonson themselves.
While in The Metatemporal Detective ace detective Sir Seaton Begg and
his companion Dr. Taffy Sinclair investigate a series of seemingly
unrelated crimes in the period between world wars, crimes involving
Adolf Hitler.
Finally in Duke Elric, the albino emperor himself is magically
transported to the Middle East in 1000AD and forced to embark on a quest
to return him home.
