Ratings and reviews

Love the comics. It takes me back to my childhood. Super excited to get them... and then... Very disappointed they are in black and white. Now I remember them being black and white when I was kid, and I also know they were reproduced in color and can be read online for free. My only gripe is not getting a color copy of the series. Otherwise, great stuff.

I saw this in stores some 30 or more years ago. Never purchased it, but was always curious about it. Having come across it again recently I decided to try it. I am glad I did! I enjoyed this as an adult. Wish I had experienced it as a youth. Better late than never.

This superbly illustrated, spellbinding and sensuous illustrated graphic novel is the ultimate rite of passage story for quintessentially bookish, artistic and imaginative coming of age kids (of all ages 😉)

About the author

Richard Pini is one half of the husband-and-wife team responsible for creating the well-known Elfquest series of comics, graphic novels, and prose works.

Wendy Pini was born Wendy Fletcher in San Francisco. Growing up on an isolated ranch in Gilroy, California, Wendy's imagination was fueled by all forms of fantasy and mythology. At an early age she began spinning her own tales of elves, monkey-gods, aliens, and sorcerers. While her artistic talents were influenced by turn-of-the-century illustrators, film, and TV animation, her storytelling abilities evolved from a love of Shakespeare, Japanese history and legend, modern fantasy, and the epic poetry of the Ramayana. In 1977, a deeply personal project called ElfQuest was born. As the first continuing fantasy/adventure graphic novel series in America to be cocreated, written, and illustrated by a woman, ElfQuest became a phenomenon in the comics industry. Appealing to comics and sci-fi/fantasy fans alike, it attracted a unique and unprecedented audience, an equal mix of male and female readers. More than three million copies of the collected graphic novel volumes have been sold to date.
