The first graphic novel in this ground-breaking series written by the legendary Michael Moorcock and illustrated by one of the true masters of the comic arts, Walt Simonson.

Collecting the first six issues of the Multiverse series, the story sees diverse heroes from Moorcock's sprawling Eternal Champion series united in a common quest to stop the criminal mastermind Silverskin from destroying the multiverse.

Multiverse is Moorcock's epic 12-issue series combining three unique and separate storylines from the Eternal Champion novels into one centuries-spanning epic story that unites Elric of Melniboné, Sir Seaton Begg, Silverskin, Sam Oakenhurst, and Rose Von Beck in an adventure told across thousands of years of time.

With one of three artists illustrating each story: Walt Simonson on Moonbeams and Roses, John Ridgeway on Duke Elric, and Mark Reeve on The Metatemporal Detective. Set across three unique locations and timelines, the three story arcs follow the mutual search for the enigmatic underworld crime lord, Silverskin, concluding with the convergence of the three plots.

In Moonbeams and Roses, hero Jack Karaquazian battles in a meta-universal game of chance with leading characters from the Moorcock universe, including Moorcock and Simonson themselves.

While in The Metatemporal Detective, ace detective Sir Seaton Begg and his companion Dr. Taffy Sinclair investigate a series of seemingly unrelated crimes in the period between world wars, with crimes involving Adolf Hitler.

Finally, in Duke Elric, the albino emperor himself is magically transported to the Middle East in 1000 AD and forced to embark on a quest to return home.
