moorcock encouraged other authors and artists to create works about jerry cornelius, in a sort of early open source shared world attempt at open brand sharing. one example is norman spinrad's "the last hurrah of the golden horde"; another is mœbius's "the airtight garage". "the nature of the catastrophe," a collection of jerry cornelius stories and comic strips which had appeared in "new worlds" (with art by mal dean) by various hands, was published in 1971. it includes works by moorcock himself, james sallis, brian aldiss, langdon jones, m. john harrison, richard glyn jones, alex krislov and maxim jakubowski.
