From Booklist
Gr. 9-12. The Pinis spearheaded the independent-comics movement in the late 1970s with their self-published, black-and-white Elfquest magazine. Now the original stories are being reprinted in full-color hardcover editions. In these early tales in the elaborate saga, the elf Cutter leads his tribe in search of a new home after humans burn down their woods. Following an arduous desert crossing, the travelers encounter another tribe of elves, the Sun Folk, and Cutter finds his mate, Leetah. The story lines are compelling, if lacking in originality, and the artwork is straightforward and appealing. It's the characters that have given Elfquest its popularity and longevity: the elves are brave, loyal, and persistence, and the elf tribes not only learn to coexist but also benefit from each other's strengths. Many libraries can attest to Elfquest's appeal to young readers, especially girls, and the recent popularity of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy may give this a boost. The early stories are also being reprinted in compact, black-and-white paperbacks. Gordon Flagg

RIP Elfquest but a great book - while you can still get it!
8. August 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
UPDATE 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! :)

A Fabulous New Version of an Old Favorite
31. Dezember 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've been an ElfQuest fan for years (since I was six years old, in fact), and so I've already come to expect the best from EQ. But this new DC edition of book one far exceeded even my expectations and completely blew me away! The new coloring is so rich and fantastic that when I finally closed it, I was a bit disappointed to see the rather drab colors or real life again. Wendy Pini's artwork is so stunning on its own that simple black-and-white would be beautiful, and so when you add in the new colors you end up with dazzelingly brilliant art. And quite besides the pictures, the story is a strong, meaningful, and enduring one that I have loved for as long as I can remember, and which I find a new reason to admire every time I re-read it. If you're an old ElfQuest fan hesitating to buy material you may already have in another edition, I strongly urge you to go for it. This new edition is worth every penny. If you're new to ElfQuest, you couldn't ask for a better introduction.

Best version to date!
13. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I started reading EQ as a teenager 1979-1980 have been a fan ever since, and I have to say I found most of the reveiews spot on but there were a few I was very confused by.
Some folks found the coloring used amaturish and unapealing? What?! I have owned every prior color volume of this series and I have got to say those folks do not know at all know what they are talking about! These new editions are stunning, a lovely picture of the true colors and vibrancy long missing from such vibrant stories!
Another review claims to be surprised buy the adult themes and the questionable sexual behaviour of the elves and not remembering those existing before.
Well that is also incorrect from almost the very begining the Pini's have made it clear that the elves sexuality was much more open and free than humans, that they did not share the negativity that many in the real world feel for certain types of pairings.
It's there, always has been there and I have always found it to be done in such a tasteful and beautiful way that when I have children I DO plan on sharing EQ with if only to avoid some of the negative attitude so much of our country has towards sex and sexuality.
These books are worth every "Pini" buy them!
