Resumen del Editor

The ancient races, the Vadhagh and the Nhadragh, are dying. By creating Mankind, the universe has condemned Earth to a pestilence of destruction and fear.

Prince Corum is the last remaining Vadhagh. He sets out on a crusade of vengeance against the forces that slaughtered his family and his race, to challenge the unjust power of the puppet masters of Man: the Lords of Chaos. Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina....

Performed by Nanette Savard, Chris Genebach, Tracy Olivera, Nick DePinto, Evan Casey, Todd Scofield, Scott McCormick, Andy Clemence, Thomas Keegan, Ken Jackson, Bob Payne, Eva Wilhelm, Matthew Keenan, Richard Rohan, Patrick Bussink, Terence Aselford.

immersive

I've always loved the eternal champion series. This dramatization is an amazing way to experience it and I highly recommend. If you are looking for a dark fantasy set in the multiverse, this is the series for you

Not as good as the unabridged

Still a great story and well acted (with a few awkward choices. I highly recommend it since none of Moorecock's novels are on here unabridged and this is a decent replacement

Superb performance as always.

nobody makes an audio drama like Graphic Audio, the voice acting was amazing and really brought the story to life in a way it wouldn't have from just a normal reading. The story itself was good and you won't be disappointed if you have enjoyed anything in the past Moorcock.

One of the great epics from one of the greats

From Dungeons and Dragons to Final Fantasy to Spiderman's multiverse to Game of Thrones, Moorcock's Eternal Champions inspired and defined fantasy as much as Howard, Lieber, Vance, or Lovecraft.
The epic of Prince Corum is heroic, like an Arthurian tale; a gritty page-turner, like a Conan pulp; and steeped in the kind of weird fiction world building that would drop Dunsany's jaw. All that, with juuust enough philosophy peripheral to the action to be cheeky and ingenius rather than dull and pretentious, Corum is a pulp fiction masterclass. There's a reason Moorcock is in the back of every DnD player's handbook: and Brandon Sanderson knows it, George RR Martin knows it, Tad Williams knows it--and Salvatore, Gaiman, Alan Moore, Yoshitaka Amano, and any fantasy pro alive today knows it, too.

It's Michael's Multiverse, we're just living in it.

One major performance gripe

I have a love for Michael Moorcock's works going back to my teen years in the early 80s. The Forum stories aren't quite as strong as the Elric books but are still great early sword and sorcery. The transformation into audio drama eternally works pretty well. The narrator is good and the the performances generally are convincing, but with one major gripe: if you turned "Corum screams or yells" into a drinking game, you'd be dead of alcohol poisoning a quarter of the way through. The constant "aaaaargghh", "aiiiigghhhh", and "wahhhhhhhhhh" get tiring and I'm taking off a full star for them.

The sound effects were really cool.

I finally understand + Excellent performances!

I was always sci-fi not fantasy. By the time I finally read Tolkien through and through and now hungry for more fantasy in audio form. Moorcock I had always passed the title by. Recently after hearing of authors and directors inspired by Moorcock and hailed him as the progenitor of modern gothic fantasy (is that a genre or did I make it up after listening to chapter 5?!) I was intrigued. Now I understand. His imagery is amazing and the entire production here truly brings the images to life. I found myself acting out the description as it played. Flaying in the hands of giant disgusting beast of a god that is as horrifying as Smaug. What a joy the book was in this format. I look forward to hearing more producers. Excellent radio theater for great master I am excited to explore more of. Next please!! As I reach out my inhuman left hand....

Birth of a legend

I've always said that the Corum series in the Eternal Champion cycle is the best starting point for newcomers. I believe that even more so having heard this graphic edition. Highly recommend for anyone wishing to dive into all of the aspects of the Eternal Champion. It only gets better.

Great adaptation....feels great to 'hear it'

Like many, I read most of Moorcock's books years ago (I can't wait for Elric's books to be available). I loved the Corum books, and really like this adaptation. It is more like a true audio production - than someone just reading it. In a way, I like the standard this sets - and really appreciate the overall feel of the way this book is presented.

The book was great.
This production - is a great way to re-"read" "hear" it! :)
