Humans have discovered the desert haven called Sorrow’s End. Cutter, chief of the Wolfrider tribe of elves, must embark on a new quest—to bolster their meager numbers with new elfin allies. With his trusted companion Skywise, he ventures out once again into a world weirder and more dangerous than anything he has ever known in his young life. Along the way, the adventurous pair tangle with an old adversary long thought gone and forgotten. What is the secret of Cutter’s sword, New Moon? And what eerie creatures inhabit the sinister Forbidden Grove, guarding a mystery that will change Cutter’s life forever?

"The comic is utterly addictive."—NPR
"One of the most important works in American fantasy."—American Library Association
"ElfQuest redefined graphic novel storytelling on an epic scale."—Barnes and Noble
"One of the most beautifully crafted, well thought out comic book fantasy epics of all time."—CBR
"Wendy and Richard [Pini] created and sustained one of the most successful independent comics of all time."—Rodney Rothman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
"[ElfQuest] is particularly important because of its key role in the establishment of a highly visible phase of alternative, independent comic books and also its creative direction by a female artist."—Karen Green, Curator for Comics and Cartoons, Columbia University
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.
