The Donning editions are richly colored and well worth hunting up. You'll need to start with the first book if you want to keep the characters straight. Book 2 contains the start of another quest and ends on a cliffhanger scene -- you'll want the next book handy. I like this book as we see not all humans are cruel. It brings a balance to the world. On to Book 3! Gorgeously drawn, engrossing fantasy series that reinterprets elves in an interesting way. Found it as a kid, still love it as an adult. Start with this book -- it's a better introduction than the first collection; the creators found their feet, both in terms of writing and artwork, with this story arc. Intelligent, sensitive and fun, with wonderful characters that stick with you. The premise: Cutter, idealistic young leader to a tribe of elves, along with his wisecracking friend Skywise, go on a quest to (A) find others of their kind and (B) figure out why humans hate them so much. Along the way, everything they know is challenged. Also, it's got elves riding wolves. This is nerd catnip, people. http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ06/DisplayOQ06.html nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Ha l'adattamento
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.

Volume 2 introduces us to a new clan of elves by the name of the Sunfolk who live (predictably perhaps) in the oasis of a barren desert and who are very different from their Wolfrider kin. Not only are they brown skinned (The Wolfriders are quite pale as they dwelt among the canopies of trees and hunted by night.) but they are peaceful, spiritual, and live much longer lives. (Possibly due to the peacefulness of their people or something else? Yes, this is explored later.) They also possess different gifts from the Wolfriders and have among them a spiritual leader who resembles the mythologized High Ones. These two clans clash immediately and explosively as Cutter finds himself entranced by their leader's daughter who has a relationship with a male of her own clan. #drama ( )
