He has worked as an editor and is also a successful musician. He is best known for his novels about the character Elric of Melniboné, a seminal influence on the field of fantasy since the 1960s and '70s.[1]As editor of the British science fiction magazine New Worlds, from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States, leading to the advent of cyberpunk.[2][3] His publication of Bug Jack Barron (1969) by Norman Spinrad as a serial novel was notorious; in Parliament, some British MPs condemned the Arts Council for funding the magazine.[4] He is also a recording musician, contributing to the bands Hawkwind, Blue Öyster Cult, Robert Calvert, Spirits Burning, and his own project, Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix.In 2008, The Times named Moorcock in its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945"Erekosë (also known as John Daker) is a heroic warrior in different fantasy adventure stories by Michael Moorcock. The character repeatedly assumes different forms and identities during adventures across Moorcock's multiverse. He first appeared in the 1962 novella The Eternal Champion,[1] which was later expanded into a novel of the same title in 1970.[2] The book became the first of the Erekosë book series, which includes the novels Phoenix in Obsidian (also published as The Silver Warriors) and The Dragon in the Sword. The Erekosë canon The Swords of Heaven, the Flowers of Hell, is a graphic novel plotted by Moorcock that was scripted and illustrated by Howard Chaykin. In Moorcock's novels The Vanishing Tower and The King of the Swords, Erekosë is described as a man with "jet black skin", often wearing a bear-skin cloak.In the first story, John Daker lives on Earth in the 20th century. For several nights, he hears a voice calling him "Erekosë" and asking him to protect humanity. Responding to the call, Daker's spirit is pulled to a different part of space and time where humanity is at war with another race. In this time and place, Daker manifests with the body of Erekosë, a warrior who died long ago. Due to flashes of knowledge and memories from different past lives, Daker accepts he is a reincarnation of Erekosë and also the "Eternal Champion", a soul who is reborn frequently throughout the multiverse. As his memories of Daker's life fade and his mind shifts to that of Erekosë, he accepts his altered identity and attempts to end a great war. Across the Erekosë book series, the hero fights forces of corruption and evil, then later leaves that world (sometimes not by choice) and appears elsewhere in the multiverse with a new identity that once belonged to a dead hero of that world. His later identities include Urlik Skarsol,[3] Clen of Clen-Gar,[4] and Prince Flamadin.[5] Despite his changes in form and identity, he maintains his memories and often prefers to be called Erekosë. In some stories, his adventures across time and space allow him to meet other incarnations of the Eternal Champion, such as Elric of Melniboné, Prince Corum, and Dorian Hawkmoon.
