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. In 2014 Dark Horse Comics will
begin publishing Elfquest- The Final Quest in comic book
format.
Richard Pini is one half of the husband-and-wife team responsible
for creating the well-known Elfquest series of comics, graphic
novels, and prose works.
““Elfquest” is undeniably a classic series with tonnes of plot history to dig up and reference, and that is evident in “Stargazer’s Hunt”. The Pini’s do a good job of introducing the fantastical world and characters that inhabit it, and Strait evokes the classic, brush-heavy art style really nicely.”—Multiversity Comics
