Moorcock's more complex works are the Cornelius novels, _Byzantium
Endures_ series, _Gloriana_, Dancers At the End of Time_, _Behold the
Man_, _Warlord of the Air_ and its sequels. The Elric stuff was written
at great speed, and it shows (he would write a short novel in three days
;)).
So, I don't think it's quite a fair comparison. The allusiveness and
strangeness of the Cornelius novels is a better place to start, if you are
looking for depth.
Cheers, David Duffy.
