In full color for the first time, Dark Horse presents the original ElfQuest by Eisner Award Hall of Famers Wendy and Richard Pini.
In the third book of the original ElfQuest saga, the Wolfriders encounter the Gliders of Blue Mountain!
"Blue Mountain, lair of the Bird Spirits."
With these words Cutter and Skywise imagine their quest to find other elfin allies may be close to completion. The companions have no idea their hopes will be upended. For imperious Lord Voll rules Blue Mountain and the hawk-riding elves who dwell within, and he wishes no intrusion upon his Gliders' isolated way of life. Yet even Voll's resistance pales before the hostility of the true power in Blue Mountain-treacherous, seductive Winnowill. Shape-shifter, pain-giver, she will stop at nothing to prevent the Wolfriders from threatening her invisible hold on the Gliders.
Collects ElfQuest: The Original Quest issues #11 to #15.

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 of 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 co-created, 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. Over three million copies of the collected graphic novel volumes have been sold to date.
Richard Pini was born in 1950, in New Haven, Connecticut. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), receiving a degree in astronomy and astrophysics. Always fan of science fiction, at college he found new diversion in comic books, and it was in the letters pages of "The Silver Surfer" in 1969 that he chanced upon a letter written by one Wendy Fletcher. A correspondence began, spanning a period of four years. The two eventually married in 1972, and Wendy embarked upon a career as an illustrator for sci-fi magazines. Richard's degree in astronomy from MIT led Richard to a position at Boston's Hayden Planetarium as lecturer, photographer, script writer, and special effects technician. In 2019, both Wendy and Richard were inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame for their lifetime achievements.
