  Summary: One Of Moorcock's more sympathetic "Champions"
 Review: While Elric remains Moorcock's most enduring charecter, Corum is the most likable.  The Corum stories are also probably the best written because they were written as a series, unlike the Elric stories which were written  through a 15 to 20 year time span. (The first 4 volumes of Hawkmoon are  also excellent.)
 Corum, like Elric is a tragic Hero, but is much more  likeable and really has a lot of elements of being a true Hero.  While  Elric is a taker (The Stealer of Souls), Corum leaves his own world for  another to help humans in a dire struggle against an Ancient race of Gods.  (Actually charecters and representations from ancient Celtic  Mythology.) All in all one of Moorcock's best series.  A must for any  Sci-Fi/Fantasy Genre fan.
