Just picked this up!

Elfquest was my introduction to comics, got in trouble for bringing it to elementary school. Once I could get to a comic book store it was so disappointing to see nothing like it on the shelves.

shadylithand.bsky.social•14 days ago

I agree

abbylark.bsky.social•14 days ago

This shit probably gave me some fetishes

thepatches.bsky.social•14 days ago

I was SO obsessed with ElfQuest in high school. Yeah, I'd be here for that.

I watched a real good documentary about he history of ElfQuest a bit ago. I think it was by comic book history or something on YouTube~

This is the one:

It was a major "underground comix" title, and one with a woman serving as artist and co-creator, no less. It was very outside the box for the time, both in content, format, and distribution. But even the Wikipedia page for it feels kinda anemic.

It straight up changed how I understood storytelling & world building. Goddamn under-appreciated masterpiece imho.

I fucking love ElfQuest, still. I started collecting every comic I could get my hands on at like age 9 or 10 & idc what anyone says it holds up.
They announced like a year ago that there was going to be an animated series, which I will definitely watch but with great trepidation. I hope it's good.

Add to that what Wendy did for cosplay in the US while we're at it.

ftmshepard.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's so good. I read the first part as a physical book, most of the rest is still freely available online, I should really check it out

Formative. I think a lot of people are embarrassed by how sincerely they loved it? But it was a wild ride.

life changing comic

When it comes to media, if Wikipedia is lacking, go to the Tvtropes page.
With "useful notes" pages for locations and history, sometimes it can even be useful for other things.

Loved the comic, picked up the RPG - never played it, just made characters and then drew them in the little portrait box. Super fun!

Tell Mr what your vaginally elf ears hear.

This vid covers the story of the Pinis and Elfquest pretty well

Was coming here to post this. matttt's videos are well researched

My brother and I loved Elfquest, we used to buy the collected editions

streetsbound.bsky.social•14 days ago

Elfquest was incredible! Really helped to show me how comics could be much more than superheroes stuff and more people need to engage with it!

objectivecyd.bsky.social•14 days ago

MAJOR flashbacks here.

blatherpuss.bsky.social•14 days ago

Someone linked it in your comments but the matttt video on ElfQuest is legit great and got into a lot of really interesting history on the comic.

karlalmiller.bsky.social•14 days ago

Oh yes please!

samarbles.bsky.social•14 days ago

oh my god ELFQUEST MENTION by one of my favorite comic creators?! HELL YES! please enjoy these pics of my very beloved and very battered copy of Fire & Flight, and its place of honor on my shelf. i cannot overstate the influence this comic had on my gay little heart. literally loved it to pieces!

emmahouxbois.bsky.social•14 days ago

i don’t really see that happening with the allegations swirling around richard pini tbh.

jtdc.bsky.social•14 days ago

I remember finding one of the volumes in the library, and I checked it out. My dad asked if there was sex in it. I said no.

Well, I was *very very wrong*. Them elves were horny as hell and once they started, apparently, just couldn't get enough.
