Synopsis
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.

Reviews
Grade 7 Up–Elfquest has always been the Comic That Could. Starting from the underground, the series has won legions of fans who revel in its purest of pure fantasy setting and delight in its sassy and indomitable main characters. And all this without being part of any big-budget Hollywood movies, toy tie-ins, or TV shows. This volume reprints five early issues, in color. The story continued from volume one has Cutter, the elf leader, and his sidekick, Skywise, roaming their planet and getting into various misadventures. Some are comic, such as when they are captured and must drink with a group of engaged trolls in the troll bar. Others are darker, as when they meet up with a group of humans who are more like aboriginals. Someone loses a thumb, and the two races exchange swordplay. Cutter's love interest, Leetah, and most of the female cast, have the look of belly dancers, and the men's flowing locks and athletic appearances make Elfquest definitely a beautiful people comic. Older teens will find the fantasy not dark enough, but it will be popular with middle schoolers or those who already love Elfquest (such as adults who want to rediscover their youthful reading).–John Leighton, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
