Elfquest Archives Vol. 1 ReviewUPDATE 2011: The Pinis decided to let their partnership with DC die in 2007. So if you want this book, grab it while you can. Wendy went on to a webcomic that tanked, its site is out of business. She spent 4 years on that, and meanwhile, DC moved on and gave them the boot.
So, this and other newer EQ books are out of print along with the rest of the canon. What is odd, is that they are now offering it all for free on the website. That's ok, but they don't seem to be interested in making any money.
They are still working on the movie after 28 years. Still. But no books, webcomics, cd's or anything else. Just the same few fans writing the same banal garbage on the EQ forums to keep us all going. Yeah, right. And of course Richard will throw out a teaser every so often about 'getting into gear' to write the Final Quest while the same 4 or 5 fans write about Norwegian versions of EQ and the rest just write every few years or so. And Wendy will travel to comic cons (for a comic that died 10 years ago) and is STILL working on the movie. Elfquest is dead, and that is the Pinis fault.
About the book:
This is the definitive EQ book 1. You probably want to know why the 2 other editions of this book aren't good enough,and for some of you, they might be.
Two considerations:
1. This book contains a georgeous extra chapter exclusively drawn by Wendy that features Skywise! That and all the rest of it is re-colored by Wendy herself, not Chelsea animation or Donning. This is the way she wants us to see the story. And the colors, while bright, are so crystalline clear and add so much depth to the expressions - even leaf dapple patterns on elven faces in some panels- that the other books seem bland and pale in comparison.
2. The production value on this is astounding. Most DC hardcovers, like the Sandman series, are ok but the qulality of paper used is like that in the original throw-away comics, kind of like colored magazines. This book is printed on super lush quality paper like the kind used in large art books, museum quality. This book, barring misfortune, disaster, cigarette smoke- will last for many years, truly archival quality.
The only tiny criticism I have is that the book should have been in the larger format like the Donning and Warp graphic version, but I guess they chose to make it bookshelf sized. It's normal comic book size. However, the clarity of the art is such that it's really no eye strain, just a minor 'oh well' .
So, hope that wrap it up. Enjoy! :)
