(Well, I thought, seeing as they were all there, I might as well get them all...because they were only £1.50 each! And they're the crazy retro covers from the 70s!)
I must admit that I'd put the Corum books rather far down on my list of Moorcock; this was a period when he was pounding out things at an unbelievable pace (sometimes as much as three books in a week or two!) in order to keep New Worlds magazine afloat, and it often shows with continuity problems and the like. However, they do have some good things about them, and I like the character of Corum. But I think I'm more interested, really, in Prince Gaynor the Damned and his relationship to the Champion..... I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on this one, Hoopy; but I will warn you that, if you find this one lacking, it's far from Moorcock's best.....
