Elfquest The Art of the Story

Elfquest: The Art of the Story handpicks a selection of Richard and Wendy Pini’s favorite Elfquest tales, scanned directly from the original art. Wendy’s technical skills and visual storytelling abilities can be examined in glorious detail. This book includes the fan-favorite all-out action story of Cutter and Rayek’s most dynamic confrontation, from Hidden Years #9.5. It features full pencils by Wendy displayed side-by-side with finished inks by John Byrne. Wendy’s range of style is further explored through graceful inks showcased in Heart’s Way, as well as vivid mixed-media used in Little Patch, Rogue’s Curse, The Jury and Wolfwood. These short pieces are significant examples of some of the finest Elfquest stories ever told. Each unlettered art page is paired with its as-published twin. Many also include fresh commentary, captions and layout sketches. Even the most die-hard fan will appreciate this strikingly fresh behind-the-scenes journey, while those new to Elfquest will gain an unparalleled look into why the series has captured the imaginations of legions of fans worldwide. Unprecedented access to the Elfquest archives--combined with painstaking attention to detail by both Flesk Publications and Wendy and Richard Pini--now offers these gems for all Questers to share.
