“Michael Moorcock’s ELRIC has once again captured the imagination of comic fans everywhere!” says BOOM! Studios Founder and CEO Ross Richie, “With such a fantastic team as Chris Roberson and Francesco Biagini behind ELRIC: THE BALANCE LOST it’s no wonder this first issue was able to sell out as fast as it did. Add to that the accessibility of not only being able to read the new ELRIC in print but also digitally and you have a sure fire way to spread the word and get people excited once more for the Eternal Champion of Melnibon\u00e9!”<\/p>\n

The second printing is being made available today through Diamond and Haven with the second printing featuring cover art by Francesco Biagini and carrying a Diamond Code of APR118234. This cover is exclusive to the print edition and will not be reproduced digitally.<\/p>\n

News of ELRIC: THE BALANCE LOST #1 launching day-and-date was featured in over 130 newspapers across America and beyond, spurring international interest in the comic.<\/p>\n

Created by Michael Moorcock, Elric has thrilled comic fans for more than 40 years beginning with an appearance in Marvel Comics\u2019 CONAN THE BARBARIAN #15 in 1972. Neil Gaiman called Michael Moorcock \u201cmy model for what a writer was\u201d while Warren Ellis said he is one of the \u201ceight core sites in my creative genome\u201d \u2014 now, the godfather of the Multiverse concept brings one of the most critically acclaimed and most recognizable figures in the history of fantasy fiction back to sequential art with BOOM! Studios\u2019 ELRIC: THE BALANCE LOST!<\/p>\n

ELRIC: THE BALANCE LOST features the return of Michael Moorcock\u2019s legendary Multiverse, featuring some of the greatest fantasy characters of all time: Elric of Melnibon\u00e9, Corum of the Scarlet Robe, and Dorian Hawkmoon in a brand-new story that will test the courage of the Eternal Champion! In this new series, the workings of Fate are being tampered with across the Multiverse, upsetting the Cosmic Balance. Elric of Melnibon\u00e9 must preserve the Balance and save the entire Multiverse from ruin. But no sooner has his journey begun than he is waylaid by dark forces and lost on the Moonbeam Roads. Elric finds himself stranded on a world where Chaos holds sway and where change is the only constant. Heroes are forced into action far and wide, but will they fight on the side of Law or Chaos?<\/p>\n

ELRIC: THE BALANCE LOST #1 debuted in print and digitally today, July 6, 2011, and is written by Chris Roberson (iZOMBIE, SUPERMAN) and drawn by Francesco Biagini (DINGO) and includes an afterword by Neil Gaiman.
