He has worked as an editor and is also a successful musician. He is best known for his novels about the character Elric of Melniboné , which were a seminal influence on the field of fantasy in the 1960s and 1970s. As editor of the British science fiction magazine New Worlds , from May 1964 until March 1971 and then again from 1976 to 1996, Moorcock fostered the development of the science fiction "New Wave" in the UK and indirectly in the United States, leading to the advent of cyberpunk . His publication of Bug Jack Barron (1969) by Norman Spinrad as a serial novel was notorious; in Parliament, some British MPs condemned the Arts Council of Great Britain for funding the magazine. [4] In 2008, The Times named Moorcock in its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". Moorcock is also a recording musician; he has contributed to the music acts Hawkwind , Blue Öyster Cult , Robert Calvert and Spirits Burning , and to his own project, Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix. “ Monsters, Madness and Magic Official Website .
