In 1978, Richard and Wendy Pini self-published Elfquest #1 and introduced audiences around the world to the elfin Wolfriders, trolls, and superstitious humans, all trying to co-exist on the World of Two Moons. Since that first story appeared, millions of copies of Elfquest have been sold around the world. Inspired by sources ranging from classic literature to Japanese manga, the Pinis created a unique universe filled with myth, danger, and the promise of hope. The beginning of that saga can be found in the previous volume, with the introduction of the Wolfriders and their leader, Cutter, as they are driven from their homeland by encroaching humans. At the end of that story, the elves found sanctuary -- but in this new volume, again their peace is threatened, not only by men once more, but also by the twin mysteries of the Forbidden Grove and Blue Mountain. Included with this archive is a bonus, long out-of-print short story from Epic Illustrated, an introduction by comic creator James A. Owen and an afterword by the Pinis.

Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Library stamps and labels. Card pocket in rear. Dust jacket in new mylar. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. With dust jacket. 221 p. Contains: Illustrations. Elfquest Graphic Novels (DC Comics), 2. Audience: General/trade.
This book is less love story, more adventure. Cutter embarks on a quest to find out if there are more elves in their world than the Wolfriders and the Sun Villagers.
Again, as whimsical as the artwork is, this book is not for kids. That being said, it is a great book. I love it. I love Wendi?s artwork ? not just the way her settings and characters come to beautiful life on the pages, but also the layout of the pages; all of it is art. It is beautiful and the story is great.
One thing that is interesting about these reprinted Archives is that there are more panels than the original releases. Sometimes I like these new additions and sometimes I don?t. There is an added section at the end of Book 1 where Skywise is bathing with 3 girls. I?m not fond of it. In Book 2, there is some extra footage of the adventure of Olbar?s daughter and her lover, and that I do like. Anyway I think it?s new; it?s hard to remember because until I bought the Archives, I hadn?t seen it since the 80s. I?m so glad these are being reprinted!
