	'''Michael Moorcock''' (born 1939) is a noted fantasy writer. Perhaps his most famous works are his '''Eternal Champion''' series, a series of anti-heroic heroic fantasy novels, most famously centering on the Eternal Champion incarnation [[Elric of Melniboné]]. He has been married to two different women involved in SF: [[Hilary Bailey]], also an author, and [[Jill Riches]], an illustrator who did some of the cover art for Moorcock's books.		'''Michael Moorcock''' (born 1939) is a noted critic, editor, and fantasy writer, part of the "[[New Wave]]" of science fiction writers in the 1970s. Perhaps his most famous works are his '''Eternal Champion''' series, a series of anti-heroic heroic fantasy novels, most famously centering on the Eternal Champion incarnation [[Elric of Melniboné]]. He has been married to two different women involved in SF: [[Hilary Bailey]], also an author, and [[Jill Riches]], an illustrator who did some of the cover art for Moorcock's books.

			Moorcock identifies as an [[anarchist]],<ref name="killjoy">[[Margaret Killjoy]], ''[[Mythmakers and Lawbreakers]]'' (AK Press, 2009).</ref> and many of his works demonstrate an anarchist worldview. Many of Moorcock's characters exhibit an [[androgynous]] characteristic, or are impliedly bisexual. Moorcock has himself engaged in some kinds of feminist action: Lobbying English bookstores to move [[John Norman]]'s ''[[Gor]]'' books to a less accessible location, to "marginalize stuff that works to objectify women and suggests women enjoy being beaten".

			Moorcock has similarly critiqued [[Robert A. Heinlein]] and [[H. P. Lovecraft]], among others, as authoritarians; see "[[Starship Stormtroopers]]".

	~~Moorcock is an anarchist and New Wave writer.~~
