Fun and very entertaining! Cutter is determined to find the rest of his tribe, and save them from whoever has taken them. However, when he finds that the wolfriders have been taken by flying elves, he is very surprised. These powerful elves claim to be the long-lost High Ones, and their powers seem to confirm that. But, there is something strange going on, something unseen, something strange and sinister.
In 1978, Wendy and Richard Pini started self-publishing the Elfquest saga in comic book form. The rest, as they say, is history! This graphic novel contains the third five issues of Elfquest (11-15), and is quite an entertaining read. I really enjoyed the story (I love stories of elves and magic!), and thought that the illustration work was quite excellent. Some people have criticized the coloring, but I thought that it was quite good, a little bright like older comics, but that is what it is.
Overall, I found this to be a fun and very entertaining read, and I give it two thumbs up!
A study in cartoon art Wendy Pini is indeed a great artist, and the story represented in the four Archives-series is beautiful and original. I have grown up with these stories, and will probably never get bored with the simple, yet original, sweet and exiting story, together with the lovely drawings of a seldomly talented hand. I recomend this series to people who like beauty and fantasy, together with simplicity and stories that captures you. It is also recomendable to children.
