I've known of the Elfquest graphic novel saga for decades, but never delved into it. That is, until my friend Adrian sent me a link to this Elfquest Fan Fiction trailer site:
Stephanie Thorpe and Paula Rhodes pooled their talents to create an enticing video short, which they hope will lead to Elfquest productions.
After scrolling through the fan trailer site, I decided to check out the source:
The graphic novel, which debuted in February 1978, is now available online for free. (Click on the Comics Tab, then the Digital EQ Online Comics).
I added a link to the Elfquest sit to this blog under the On Line Comics tab on the right toolbar.
It Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on...

This is an amazing story. I discovered Elfquest quite by accident in 1979 when I picked up two random issues while out buying books with my grandmother.
I was hooked from then on. I managed to get all the missing back issues and then continued to pick up the original series and then the first sequel series.
After that I must say that I fell a bit out of it since the Pinis were not solely in control. Still there were good things that came after including the Chaosium RPG.
Elfquest presents gamers with a nice idea of how to run a dramatic, story-based campaign with plenty of character development, adventure, role-playing and just enough combat to keep things from getting boring.

Thanks for commenting Eli! I look forward to delving into the graphic novels. A commenter on Facebook also had high praise for the RPG. I remember seeing the RPG books kicking around the gamestore--now I wish I bought them!
Take care.
