I read about this on a Michael Moorcock group on Facebook, and went “Why yes, this is relevant to my interests!”
(Moorcock, Michael) Kirkland, James. Urish’s Hoard. Dreaming City Books, 2021. First edition? (no printing indicated, and it may well be a print-on-demand book) trade paperback original, a Fine copy. There was a Kickstarter for this back in early 2021, but after it was funded this was almost immediately available on Amazon, which is where I bought this.
Though the first edition information can be had in more comprehensive forms elsewhere, there is a wealth of information on Elric comic book adaptations, art portfolios, music, games and RPG supplements, and even miniatures! There’s also a discussion of the foul-up behind the Melniboné Mythos section in the AD&D Deities and Demigods. I’d always thought TSR had done it without permission, but Mike had given his permission, not realizing that his agent had already sold RPG rights to Chaosium. Oops…
There’s a ton of information gathered here (illustrated with color scans) you’re not going to find in other reference sources, so if it interests you, you might want to click the Amazon hyperlink on the title. Also, you’ve got to love the retro DAW Books inspired design of the cover.
It does remind me that someone needs to do a comprehensive Moorcock bibliography, as Tanelorn Archive is over 40 years old, and Moorcock is very prolific…

I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was a labor of love to research and write. You can sign up for the Pursuit of the Pale Prince newsletter for updates on new Elric collectibles that have been published or announced since the book came out.

Howdy! Thanks for dropping in.
I know that foreign texts were not a focus of the book (nor are they something I generally collect), but Elric: La Saga might be worth a mention, just because it looks so nice…
