LOL!!! Because of the way my timeline displays I saw this post before your first one in the thread. I saw the picture on the right and my immediate thought was that this had to be Elric wielding Stormbringer. I had never seen this cover before, but this is kind of how I envisioned Elric from Michael Moorcock's descriptions.
