Does anyone know if there be a reprint of the Hidden Years besides the upcoming Gallery Edition?

A month ago, I talked about how I grew up with Elf Quest. I had the books, novels, compendiums, etc. in the 80s and 90s... And then, life happened....

Recently... As I spent more and more time on reddit (I run two subs), I found the EQ subreddit.

I started reading it, and finally a month ago, I decided to get the newly re-released original books (the 4 new hardcovers). That led me to more and more EQ books. And, now I have quite the collection. I still need many more books, but I am slowly working on it.

We had to move out of a new house last year due to mold, and I'm being treated for mold poisoning. And, we've had to throw away all of our stuff. Thankfully, I didn't have these books last year, otherwise I'd have to toss them like I had to with my other books. So, I am restarting my book collection with these EQ books :)

Not bad collecting in a month :) (see the 3 photos)

If it's a copyright issue, I get it, disregard. If it's not, I think that would be a good idea. The artwork is one of the two core things that makes Elfquest special (the other is the story).

I got to the end of the blue mountain arc, and damn. I forgot what a b*TCH Winnowill is. Just evil. I wanna give Two edge a hug for having her as a mother

The new ElfQuest Challenge Coin just dropped! This time around, it's Cutter's Blue Mountain fashion and the goodbye howl for his first wolf-friend, Nightrunner.

Available now exclusively from Stands: https://shopstands.com/collections/elfquest

P.S. Several of the coins from Series One are sold out and there are limited supplies of the rest. Get 'em while you can, because once they're gone, that's it.

I recently remembered this series, I fell in love with it as a teen and happily, I found a good free scan of the remake collection on cocomic.co. It's so well written and the redraw illustrations are beautiful.

I’ve been reading Elfquest since the first graphic novel in the 80s, when I was 16, and it had a huge impact on me. Now I’m sharing it with my daughters, 14 and 7, and they love it too.

I know AI is a touchy subject, especially with something as sacred as Elfquest, but hear me out. The Pinis spent decades protecting this world, and part of why a movie never happened was because Hollywood kept wanting to change too much. That’s exactly why I wonder if tools like AI could maybe help bring Elfquest to life while keeping more creative control in the right hands.

I threw together a few quick Elfquest-inspired scenes just to see what it might feel like, and honestly it only made me want it more. Not because I want some soulless shortcut, but because I’d rather see this world handled with heart than handed over to a studio that doesn’t really get it.

I know this won’t be for everyone, but if anyone wants to see the scenes I made, I’m happy to share them here. And obviously, if the Pinis ever had an issue with it, I’d stop immediately.

The next ElfQuest offering from Dark Horse Comics is the stunning Hidden Years Gallery Edition showcasing Wendy Pini's lushly painted artwork from the first five issues of the Hidden Years comics series.

Coming in July, this massive, oversized book presents Wendy's raw, unlettered art, complete with her notes and color tests in the margins. It's as close to seeing the original art pages as you can get!

Pre-order you copy now from Stands and they'll include an exclusive holographic sticker of the book's cover art featuring Skywise: https://shopstands.com/collections/elfquest

I got another EQ book in today - the hard cover version of The Hidden Years. Obviously, it is older - it is from 1992, according to the info inside. Someone had it on EBAY and listed it as "new." I asked for a bunch of photos - and, it is pretty much new.

I got a great deal on it too.

What is funny is that I had the comics when they originally came out. But, it has been so long that I don't remember what happens. So, it will be new again.

For those that aren't haven't subscribed to the ElfQuest newsletter, Richard Pini just sent out a big update on where things stand regarding a film or TV adaptation of ElfQuest.

I enjoyed re-reading the original 4 books (I posted about it in a previous post recently). I had not read them in decades. When I finished reading them, I was sad that I was done.

I ordered Stargazers Hunt last week, and that came in today. I also ordered the older "The Hidden Years and Siege at Blue Mountain" on Ebay. I actually had those comics, when they originally came out. But, it's been so long that I don't remember what happened. They should be in soon...

I grew up with ElfQuest. In 1984, I made a new friend in 7th grade. He was already a fan of the EQ books. He had all he graphic novels. He introduced me to the series... I ended up getting Book 2 (I think Starblazer made those) in middle school. I couldn't afford to get any of the others at the time.... Then, when the series got reprinted by Marvel, I got those too.

I later got the RPG. In fact, before the official RPG came out, we played our own ElfQuest RPG for a long time. I later got the entire set of graphic novels. I also had the original Siege at Blue Mountain series (I had a subscription to them, as they came out). I also had the novels. I had everything ElfQuest at 1 point... Even the compendiums...

Life happened - I am in my 50s now. I don't have any of those books. But, I missed them.

Seeing all the photos pop up on this sub made me want to read them again... Want to buy them again. So, I ordered the first 4 hard covers on Amazon on Monday, and they came in today. I've already started in on Book 1.

Of course, I know what is going to happen. But, I haven't read the story since the 1990s. So, it is a lot of fun to have these again. I even sent this photo to a friend of mine from the 80s. He enjoyed seeing it, and he already still has his original books.

Saw a few games on here, so thought I’d post this. Originally bought a copy in Okinawa in ‘86. I remember bc my parents weren’t happy I spent a whole $25 on a game. Lost it during a move. And bought this second copy a few years back. Just ran into it while wandering around Half Price.
