The core story of Elric of Melnibone is a strong one. Moorcock does a good job of both utilizing very evocative elements (like the Mirror of Memory, the interaction with Straasha, and the entire quest through Ameroon) and also setting up Elric's entire saga. Even better, that's adapted very well here by Roy Thomas and illustrated beautifully by Michael Gilbert and P. Craig Russell. I've never been fond of this volume's Yrkoon nor its pastel coloring, but those are minor elements in an adaptation that is generally a triumph. 
 And I'm very thrilled that Titan is getting these all back into print!
