Line 4:
A long-running graphic novel series about a quest, by elves, for elves.
In 1978, '''W'''endy '''a'''nd '''R'''ichard '''P'''ini, founders of '''WaRP''' Graphics (now just Warp Graphics), created a world of short, pointy-eared humanoids who face the consequences of constant wars on their planet. The norm for comic books during that time was mostly super heroes, fistfights and explosions. '''''
The series quickly gained fans, because there was nothing else that came close to its gorgeous graphics, elegant characterizations and explosion-less storyline. The full story spans thousands of years, and includes very mature themes (war, sex, torture and [[Mind Rape]], to name a few), handled with grace and featuring incredibly beautiful artwork.
Line 16:
After many years of successful publication, the creators decided to let other authors and artists step in, with varying levels of success. Some of these are considered [[Canon Discontinuity]] even by the authors, but for the most part, the canon was continued by "new blood" and took off into some unexpected directions. Wendy Pini eventually returned to the series, but the quality of her recent stories is also controversial among fans. Regardless, the series is loved by fans all over the world, and '''''Elf Quest''''' is considered a groundbreaking, epic series that changed many of the comic industry's conventions.
The full series has be re-published many times over, although the original hand-drawn pencils and organic colors were never redone. For computer-colored versions of the entire series, go here: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140702142543/http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics3.html It's all online.] (Beware [[Archive Binge|Death By Archive]].)
