DESCRIPTION
A limited edition print to mark the 40th anniversary of the classic artwork 'The Dragon Lord'.
Commissioned by Big O Posters (UK/Germany/USA) in 1976, this image formed part of a set of twelve Michael Moorcock-inspired illustrations which were published as posters and in the calendar 'Wizardry and Wild Romance'. Matthews says that Moorcock was a joy to work with, offering design suggestions but never dominating the art. Of the twelve, 'The Dragon Lord' was among the most popular and seemed to epitomise at a stroke - of Elric's runesword Stormbringer perhaps - the essence of the Eternal Champion epoch.
The image was later licensed by Roxxcalibur for their 2011 album Lords of the NWOBHM.

I recently received my limited edition giclee print of Elric of Melnibone- The Dragon Lord that Rodney personally signed for me and it is FANTASTIC! I've been a huge fan of Rodney's work since 1978 and this particular piece by him has always been a favorite and I'm so happy to finally own a limited edition print signed by Rodney after all these years. I am a professing believer in Jesus Christ as well, just as Rodney is and also received two other pieces that have Christian themes, Lament for the Weary and the Be Watchful poster. All three will be treasured pieces of art displayed in my studio and I thank Rodney and Sarah so very much for their kindness and communication and for granting my request for a personal inscription on each piece. The prints were all enclosed in a very heavy duty mailing tube and arrived in perfect condition. So I want to say again, thanks and may God bless you Rodney, and Sarah as well!
Excellent quality - a piece I have loved for many years
I bought this one of 10 Artist proof prints for my boyfriend, it was the best investment and gift i could have given him, totally adored it, perfect quality, worth every penny.
I can but echo Tim Q's thoughts in his review. I had the poster - and quite a few other Big O Rodney ones - but the quality of this print is stunning. Signed, limited, my favourite of Rodney's paintings - too good to miss. Quick delivery, kept notified - couldn't be more pleased, thanks.
Elric and Moonglum and Tanelorn would be very tempting too if they become available!
Having had a poster of the Dragon Lord on my wall since the late 80s/early 90s, finding out I could own a print of it was an opportunity too good to pass up. As a poster, it's good. As a print Amazing. The quality is everything and more I expected.
