ElfQuest, the epic fantasy series that made an entire generation say “yo, what’s the deal with that book?” every time they went to the comic book store, is coming back in a new, full-color hardcover collection for the first time at Dark Horse Comics.
Titled ElfQuest: The Original Quest, the four-book collection will kick off with ElfQuest: The Original Quest Book 1 in February of 2025, then Book 2 in May of 2025. The final two volumes should be released later in that year.
“We envy everyone who is discovering—or rediscovering—ElfQuest in this gorgeous new full-color Dark Horse incarnation for the first time,” said creators Wendy and Richard Pini via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “ElfQuest is classic yet refreshingly surprising in the way it tosses traditional fantasy clichés out on their pointed ears. The quest of the title—a search for identity, for home, for family—though decades in the telling—is today more contemporary, relevant…and needed…than ever. From forest to mountain, from desert to frozen waste, you’re in for one hell of a howling good thrill-ride.”
Check out the synopses and covers for the first two volumes, below.
In ElfQuest: The Original Quest Book 1:
Chief Cutter and the Wolfriders are driven from their forest home by fearful humans bent on their destruction. As they wander the ever-changing landscape of their harsh primeval world, the elves discover hidden danger, odd creatures…and, to their surprise, other elfin tribes.
