Michael Moorcock
Engelsk forfatter som bor noget af tiden og London og resten af tiden I Texas. Han er også en mand som har været en af de mest roste SF og fantasy forfattere, og har skrevet mange bestsellere. Moorcock har skabt masser af uforglemmelige personer, ikke mindst Elric of Melnibone, krigeren med albinohuden og det sjæleslugende sværd Stormbringer. Af andre helte kan nævnes, Jerry Cornelius, Hawkmoon og Corum. Og det specielle ved alle disse (og andre) af hans personer er at de alle er aspekter af hans "Eternal Champion", en helt som bliver ved med at blive genfødt I alle dele af multiverset.
