Time to expand on my ElfQuest heart circle post ❤️⭕️
A lot of fans only read the Original Quest (books 1-4) and may not know how deep the relationships between these 5 (count em, five) lovemates truly runs.
Cutter, as the MC, is the glue that binds the whole - or so you might think at first glance (more on that soon). But who is “first” when it comes to Cutter’s heart?
Book 1 revolves around the meeting of two tribes, resulting in the Recognition between Leetah and Cutter - so this pairing might be paramount in your mind.

But the first love shown in the entire saga is actually Redlance and Cutter. This is the moment that showed readers very early on that this story was going to be very different than the usual fantasy fare of the 70s. This warrior is well rounded, and one of his greatest strengths is loving and caring for others.

Redlance’s lifemate is Nightfall (my favorite character, if I’m only allowed one!) I think it was in one of the short stories or novelizations - when Nightfall and Cutter were very young, they were so close that many of the Wolfriders thought they would become lifemates. If Cutter had a first crush, Nightfall would likely count. The trio remains very close right from the start of ElfQuest.

But did I save the best for last? Cutter and Skywise are, for me, the heart of the entire tale. In terms of personality and emotional connection, they are avatars for the creators - Wendy and Richard Pini. No surprise, then, that their love story has (arguably) the most depth and pathos over the 40+ years that it took to write and illustrate ElfQuest.

In one story, Skywise knew Cutter’s soul name from birth - which is normally only revealed psychically to the parents. So, Skywise is also chronologically the first in Cutter’s heart. But they’re too young or simply disinclined to call it what it is at first, so it’s “brothers in all but blood” if they have to put it into words.

Yes this will be a series of posts - next, I focus on one couple or throuple at a time, as they each have their own special relationships.

I talked with Wendy and Richard Pini, the couple behind the long-running ElfQuest comics, about their $500,000 endowment to Columbia University's archive of comics and graphic novels. Lovely people, and nice to see some support for a piece of pop culture that's too often under-appreciated.

More Wolfrider/ElfQuest style elves. It's not easy for me to draw this style. My elves turn out more High Ones-ish. If you know, you know.

Here you will find nearly every issue and collection of ElfQuest comics published between 1978 and 2013. Essentially, almost everything from The Original Quest until the start of The Final Quest and Stargazer’s Hunt (which are still available in both print and digital formats from Dark Horse Comics).
You can read the stories by series in the order they were published (below) or in chronological order (over the entire saga).
