High Ones Ears!

I never thought to ask if there are other Elfquesters out there in
SF-LOVERS land.  I've been on board since issue 5.

If any of you are interested in EXCELLENT illustrated adult fantasy (and
I DON'T mean Heavy Metalish eroticism), check out Elfquest.  I would
recommend the large format Elfquest Illustrated (Books I & II) for new
comers.  The books are in color, while the comic is in b&w (though I'm
not recommending against the comic for that reason:  I prefer the comic
over the color-books since the comics contain current events of the
Quest.)

However, I think a caveat in called for.  Don't start reading Elfquest
if you are the impatient sort.  Only THREE issues are published in a
year.  That's a four month wait from issue to issue.  This situation is
aggravated by the fact that almost every issue ends in a cliff-hanger!
You may wonder why certain comic book store owners look haggard and
strung-out three times a year.  As the deadline for EQ delivery
approaches, EQ fans hound and harrass the poor shop owners with, "Is it
in yet?? Did you get the shipment yet???"
