Hi! I grew up on my mom's copy of the first four volumes, the beautifully colored ones that I think are referred to as the "Starblaze" ones. I know you can read the comics for free on the website, but now that I'm an adult I'm trying to collect physical copies of the later comics as well (especially colored versions).

I've been kind of scouting around the wikipedia page, trying to figure out chronology. Should I just grab everything even vaguely Elfquest related that I find on Ebay, or do you recommend certain comics/collections over others?

(Also, I know this is a small community, so if you happen to stumble across this post a few months down the line, please do comment anyway! I'd like all the information I can get.)

What do these three ElfQuest pages have in common?

We'll be taking a deep look at each of them - and several others - on tonight's ElfQuest: A Visual Evolution - Momentus Event with Wendy and Richard Pini as we explore the evolution of Wendy's black and white, color and digital ElfQuest art over the decades.

Mine would be Cutter, not just because he is the main character but also because I really like his personality and his relationship with most other characters

New ElfQuestBook Release Day!
ElfQuest: Hidden Years Gallery Edition

A new deluxe volume from Dark Horse Comics showcases the first five issues of the ElfQuest: Hidden Years comic-book series.

This oversized hardcover Gallery Edition format offers an unprecedented look at Wendy Pini’s lushly painted watercolor artwork. The pages are unlettered to reveal every line and brush stroke. You’ll also find her margin notes, color tests, and behind-the-scenes material. It’s the closest thing to actually holding Wendy’s original artwork as you can get!

Ask for it wherever books and comics are sold – on the web or at your local bookstore or comics shop.

Order from our partner Stands and they'll include a free collectible holographic ElfQuest sticker.

I remember I was looking randomly and stumbled upon the official site with all the comics, I really liked how they looked and I started reading them all, it's a shame the franchise has been forgotten but it was very good and i'm glad it can still be easily enjoyed by people.

You absolutely do not want to miss our next Momentus event. We're doing a deep dive into the evolution of Wendy Pini's ElfQuest art over the decades.

SPOILERS in the link/image!

I made an EQ timeline spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSTicAdy-DTIP1dD1hev7CMbSqxfDPPvD9s_jPXvP2Be4DtRMkPT7LkKKjNamvCP5H3OKKlsjM1yfsA/pubhtml#gid=0

Each row is a turn of the seasons. Sources include the timelines on the official website and when characters mention the amount of time passed within the stories. (I may go back and add sources for the spans of years between things but will take a while!)

My summaries get thicker for the new content because it doesn't live in my head in the same way as the earlier volumes and I wanted to have it to reference, no other reason. Plenty of incredible and emotional story points are not typed out; the goal was to puzzle out how the pieces fit together.

For me, pondering things like number of years lived peacefully at any given holt, like between stories, is a fun exercise in imaging the characters' lives.

Help me out if something looks wrong! Also of course the acknowledged futconning fusses with placing things on certain years - I tried my best!

Save this to eq.txt, install wget or curl and you can use a command like

wget -c -i eq.txt

To download them all with resume capability. After that, you can use a PDF reader (I recommend Okular) to read them easier than online, with benefits like full-screen capability.

To be clear: I am not the seller!

If you're anywhere near the Half Price Books in Concord, CA, they have the original, magazine-sized comics from 1978, all bagged and in beautiful shape.

They look to have 3-4, and 6-20.

Good luck!

Hi everyone! My father bought this shirt nearly 40 years ago now, and as seen it has had better days. I've kept it in hopes to find one in better condition in his current size for him as a gift! It would need to be this exact design w/ print colors and words underneath, but the shirt color itself is not too much an issue! Just as long as it's a 3XL!

​

If you all could help a guy out in searching and hopefully successfully finding one in the needed size, that would be amazing!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Who's your favorite ElfQuest father? Cutter? Sun-Toucher? Picknose? Someone else?

Celebrate with this great deal from Stands - Father's Day Weekend only!

BCW makes something that's called a Stor-Folio. It a laminated cardboard box with front and side pouches to insert custom artwork. It holds 14 bagged and boarded comics and closes on the side with a magnets.

I bought some to house my Epic Comics ElfQuest collection. and printed some inserts I designed.

Here is what I came up with. The front looks like this:

And here is the spine

I'm debating redoing the front and having all 14 covers on it in a grid pattern.

The official 2026 ElfQuest Tumbler is here from The Arcane Vault.

If you missed the pre-order opportunity for this collectible pint glass featuring Cutter and his wolf-friend Filcher howling in anticipation of the hunt, now's your chance to get it.

A little beat up, but really cool to get these four volumes for 40 cents!

I use old, beat up comics to modge podge IKEA tables. One comic I used a while ago was an ElfQuest comic. I didn't know much about it, just liked how the art worked with the other comics for the table I was covering. Fast forward to yesterday and I saw these in the thrift store, all four volumes, so I thought it was a great chance to read it all. Loving it so far.

Don't worry, even though these have some creases and worn edges/corners, I won't be using these to cover any IKEA tables.

The new ElfQuest Challenge Coin just dropped and it's the fiercest one yet!

Wendy Pini contributed this portrait of Strongbow to the annual Heroes Con Art Auction. The auction is tonight (June 13, 2026). Good luck to all the bidders!

A 1983 sketch Wendy did to benefit Wolf Park has been listed by the owner’s widower. https://ebay.io/m/5cCFqK

Hey yall I am looking for some help with cosplay!

Long story short I was planning on doing an elfquest cosplay for a con on the 7th but my life kinda went the way of the OG holt. Im hoping to do a good closet cosplay but I also dont have time to do a full reread and find the perfect outfit.

If the collective power of the internet can show me some good pics of outfits for characters (I have elf ears, white contacts and a blond wig) that would be good for this is would appreciate it so much!!

Is this just a reprint of the Epic Comics issue, or is there something unique about this run?

Hello.. please forgive me but I found these and some others and thought it may help complete someone collection.. I was going to take them to a comic book store and sell them .... but then thought maybe someone here may want to have it... just a thought:)

✌️

Feedback, to the creative soul, is life’s blood. Even so, it’s not often that ElfQuest receives feedback that leaves Wendy and me astounded. Recently we learned of Strangest Aeons, a blog by Guido Segers who hails from the Netherlands. In it he has crafted a 3-part “Critical Love Letter to ElfQuest.”

In under 4000 words, Guido finds patterns and connections in the emotional and storytelling structure of ElfQuest that, frankly, I can’t recall anyone else doing. Not like this.

If there’s one review of ElfQuest we wish the entire comics-and-fantasy fandom would read, it’s this. That’s why we’re sharing it with you. It’s also why we hope you’ll re-share it with everyone you know who might be aware of ElfQuest but hasn’t yet taken the plunge. Thank you.
