hardcover. Etat : Fine. Special Edition. Publication: Manchester, Savoy Books, 2001 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 250. Condition Report: Fine. The book remains exceptionally bright and attractive. The binding is tight and square, with the off-white cloth and striking foil stamping on the upper board and spine remaining unoxidised and sharp. The dust jacket is flawless, showing no chips, tears, or creases. Internally, the pages are crisp, clean, and entirely unmarked by previous ownership, with the text block remaining perfectly flush. A superb, well-preserved copy that easily meets this high grade. Catalogue Note: This is the 2001 Savoy Books edition of Anthony Skene's classic pulp narrative. Published in Manchester, this edition features an introduction by Michael Moorcock, who famously cited Zenith as a primary inspiration for his own iconic character, Elric of Melnibonà . The volume is profusely illustrated, retaining the original artwork from The Sexton Blake Library by F.W. Bennett, Arthur Jones, Eric Parker, Val Reading, and J.H. Valda. Additionally, this specific Savoy edition is distinguished by bespoke chapter heading illustrations by John Coulthart and publisher's notes by Kris Guidio. On the open market, this particular edition has become decidedly scarce and is highly sought after by collectors of early twentieth-century pulp fiction and weird literature. First introduced in 1919 within the pages ofÂUnion Jack, Monsieur Zenith the Albino is a Romanian nobleman turned world-weary gentleman thief. Instantly recognisable by his crimson eyes, stark white hair, and opium-laced cigarettes, Zenith operates with a strict, aristocratic code of honour, engaging in intellectual battles of wits rather than common criminality. Driven by a profound existential ennui, he seeks solace in danger and adventure, making him one of the most compelling and enduring anti-heroes of the pulp era. F.W. Bennett, Arthur Jones, Eric Parker, Val Reading, J.H. Valda, John Coulthart, Kris Guidio (illustrateur).…
