The Wolfriders embark on a Final Quest!

Generation after generation, for thousands of years, the elves of the World of Two Moons sought refuge from the savagery of their primitive planet. For a while, it seemed they had found it in the legendary Palace of the High Ones, where Chief Cutter and his tribe of Wolfriders have avoided nature’s wrath and the threat of an ever-expanding human population.

The Wolfriders embark on a Final Quest!

Generation after generation, for thousands of years, the elves of the World of Two Moons sought refuge from the savagery of their primitive planet. For a while, it seemed they had found it in the legendary Palace of the High Ones, where Chief Cutter and his tribe of Wolfriders have avoided nature’s wrath and the threat of an ever-expanding human population.

Yet comfort comes at a price. The seductive magical influence of the Palace may lead to the feral elves’ undoing—and Cutter realizes he must embark upon the most important quest of all! The long-running, award-winning ElfQuest saga by celebrated creators Wendy and Richard Pini reaches an unexpected and deeply emotional story arc.

Dark Horse Comics collects the entire ElfQuest: The Final Quest series for the first time into a single, stunning full-color hardcover volume, with a new introduction by Richard Pini, two new afterword pieces by Richard Pini and Wendy Pini, and a bonus section filled with amazing extras and behind-the-scenes process images that the Dark Horse ElfQuest collections are known for! Over 600 pages!

Collects Elfquest: The Final Quest Volume 1–4.

About the author

Wendy Pini

Wendy Pini was born Wendy Fletcher in San Francisco. Growing up on an isolated ranch in Gilroy, California, Wendy's imagination was fueled by all forms of fantasy and mythology. At an early age she began spinning her own tales of elves, monkey-gods, aliens, and sorcerers. While her artistic talents were influenced by turn-of-the-century illustrators, film, and TV animation, her storytelling abilities evolved from a love of Shakespeare, Japanese history and legend, modern fantasy, and the epic poetry of the Ramayana. In 1977, a deeply personal project called ElfQuest was born. As the first continuing fantasy/adventure graphic novel series in America to be cocreated, written, and illustrated by a woman, ElfQuest became a phenomenon in the comics industry. Appealing to comics and sci-fi/fantasy fans alike, it attracted a unique and unprecedented audience, an equal mix of male and female readers. More than three million copies of the collected graphic novel volumes have been sold to date.
