Good morning (or afternoon, or evening, wherever you may be)!
Can you believe it?
Richard and Wendy here (aka Elfpop and Elfmom). In just a few days, Episode One of the ElfQuest Audio Movie will be available everywhere. It’s the exciting climax to over two years of planning and production. And, like you, we’re hoping it makes a huge splash in the world of audio podcasts.
Thank you. We couldn’t have done this without your support. For two years you’ve given your time and care and devotion, and from the bottom of our hearts to the pointy tips of our ears, we thank you.
Today's the day. The "Big Send" just happened. The personalized copies of the entire ElfQuest Audio Movie production--all four hours of it--just went out to all crowdfunding campaign backers. This is your DRM-free copy to own forever, playable on any audio player.
We're celebrating the premiere of ElfQuest as a star-studded 10-episode audio drama with a special panel at Dragon Con.
For Episode 48, host David Charles Mizejewski is joined by fellow fan Michael McAdam. Their insights and outpouring of feelings about Stargazer's Hunt Volume 2 will go straight to your heart. Michael in particular is able to discuss the spiritual aspects of the story so comfortably, in an all-embracing way. You will melt when they rhapsodize about Cutter and Skywise’s relationship!
And the winner of our first Holt Club Challenge is… Kat Pepmiller! Congratulations, Kat, and a huge thank you to everyone who helped us reach our first goal of 250 rates and reviews of the ElfQuest Audio Movie on Apple Podcasts!
Kat was picked at random from all current Holt Club Members and she chose the signed copy of Fantasy Quarterly #1 from Wendy and Richard Pini’s personal collection as her prize. Your Next Holt Club Mission Is…The ElfQuest TikTok Challenge!

Happy Pride Month! Whether you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, celebrating Pride this month and year-round is a powerful way to join the fight to create a world like that of ElfQuest, where everyone is free to be their true, authentic selves and love whomever they choose without stigma or discrimination.
Everyone–including people of all gender identities, orientations, and from all kinds of families–is welcome in ElfQuest fandom. We see you and we support you.
We created two ElfQuest designs integrating the LGBTQ+ rainbow to show that support of the community, and many of you asked us to make them available in our Redbubble Shop.
With the release of ElfQuest: Stargazer’s Hunt Vol 2 from Dark Horse Comics in comics shops, The ElfQuest Show is back with a new episode–and something new. In addition to the podcast, host David Mizejewski has also created a video version available on YouTube. Now you can watch or listen!
In this episode David and guest host Tanya talk about the awesome new characters, all of the threads to past and future ElfQuest stories woven into Stargazer’s Hunt, seeds for future stories, Wendy Pini and Sonny Strait’s gorgeous art, and of course the conclusion of Skywise’s star-spanning quest to recover his lost memory of Cutter.
ElfQuest: Stargazer’s Hunt Vol 2 is now available in comic stores! To say we are excited for you to finally get to read the conclusion of Skywise’s quest to recover something precious lost is an understatement.
The initial release is exclusively in comics shops. You can use the Comic Shop Locator to find your local shops or type “comics” into your GPS map on your mobile device. We recommend calling in advance and asking for ElfQuest to make sure they have it in stock, and if they don’t, ask them to order it for you.

The door to Feels-ville swings both ways. We are just now returned to Los Angeles after a week-long, 2500-mile road trip. First stop was a packed signing at the Portland, Oregon Things From Another World comic shop, to celebrate the release of “Elfquest – Final Quest” #24, the concluding chapter of Cutter’s forty-year hero’s journey. Then followed Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, Washington where hundreds of you stopped at our table in Artist Alley and attended the SRO panel presentation Saturday afternoon.
Dark Horse Comics has released an exclusive four-page preview of issue 24 of the Final Quest, along with a press release celebrating the End of the Quest. The full issue will be released in comics shops and online on February 28.“Line of Beauty – the Art of Wendy Pini” has been out for a few weeks, and it has just received its best review yet.Wendy Pini is most famous for Elfquest, but her artistic career spans fifty years of pop culture history, from weird lowbrow surrealism to yaoi pastiche. Line of Beauty isn’t just a stunning art book covering decades in and beyond epic fantasy, but a powerful yet curiously tentative biography, drawing together threads from a childhood in the Californian sticks to the poisoned promises of Hollywood.
Our good friend and publisher John Fleskes recently asked us a favor. He is running a charity fundraiser for a local youth center in Santa Cruz, CA. As John describes it, “Santa Cruz Hope is a safe environment that provides after school services free of charge for kids who have broken homes, no homes or simply have good parents who are down on their luck. 200-300 kids use the place daily and they depend 100% on donations to stay open.
The question comes up, from time to time, about whether or not there can be elf-human cross-breeds in the world of Elfquest. The short answer is no.
Here’s the longer answer, with amplification (maybe even up to 11):
We (Wendy and Richard) decided long ago, at the very beginning, that there would be no elf-human hybrids in the world of Elfquest. Mostly, we did this for one very good reason: many other fantasy worlds allow them. To us, the elf-human mix has become, well, kind of tired and a bit boring.
This question was posed by Ryan Browne on Facebook: The Scroll of Colors, the receptacle of all elfin history, past, present and future, is now in possession of the elves. Timmain, Sunstream, possibly even Skywise and Savah can turn it and decipher its meaning. Yet, we have not seen any of the elves turn the Scroll so far in The Final Quest. Given its magical properties, it would seem advantageous for the elves to peer through the veil of time and use the knowledge gained to their advantage.
