The original! This is the one that started them all. The graphic novel was born on the pages of this book. I so enjoyed the Elf Quest books when I was a kid. This classic is a collectible!
A great series and the 1984 edition has the best coloring This edition, as with first 4 Elfquest books in the 1984 editions, are fabulous reads and with a little creative editing on the part of parents, great stuff for kids. These editions are in my opinion the best colored. The later edtions used some sort of funky computer coloring that really flattened much of the work and had real yellow tone. If you can find them get the orginal graphic novels in all of their beautifully colored original glory. I have loved them since I was a kid and my kids love them as well.
Graphic SF Reader A race of Elves exist in a relatively primitive society on a planet that has two moons. There are other races on this world, like trolls, and some of the elves ride around on rather large wolves.
Like a few others, there is actually an explanation for these people. They are not your sidhe or Tolkien type elves, but descendants of an alien race that came to the planet.
A wonderful, beautiful, complex tale for all ages. I've been returning to this graphic novel over and over for over fifteen years, and there's always something new to discover in it. A mix of myth, archetype, and completely new, fresh creativity, it's well-planned and well-drawn. Something to read to your kids, and keep for yourself-- well worth finding.
