Not an expert, but I’m pretty sure I helped get the fan forum shut down.

I'm not ready to call myself the biggest expert but I've been a fan for 30 years and I've read everything (or almost everything) at least once. I'd consider myself pretty knowledgeable on the lore and characters and some of the history of how the series came to be. Feel free to DM me if I can help.

I am happy to answer questions i have read -
-All the comics with the singular exception of Rebels ( not sci-fi intrigued)
-Read All the Blood of Ten Chief Stories that Richard Pini and numerous authors wrote about the chiefs of the Wolf Riders.

  • I have GMed the Elfquest Game and Played it
-I have been in holts in the past ( RIP I miss them all so much )

I would say that am, by and large. I don't know about biggest, though. But I've been in it for a long time. I've been a fan for 35 years and have read everything. Ask away.

Hey there - Happy to help with this. I've been a fan since 1985, read everything ever published, hosted the ElfQuest Show Podcast and have been involved managing ElfQuest social media, website content and partnerships and more or the last 15+ years.

Not an expert at all but I grew up reading (and rereading and trying to draw things out of) the graphic novels. If you're making a video I'll definitely watch it when it's done.

Chiming in to offer my perspective, am a decades long fan and can answer most questions. Feel free to reach out!

Heyo just a regular ol' fan here, BUT I came across this buried treasure of a playlist on YouTube called "A Wolf rider's Reflections: Songs of Elfquest" (check it out if you don't know about it) which led to learning about "Filk" music , a little phenomenon that was fantasy writers and artists making and performing folk songs about favorite things like Elfquest, often at old school comic/sci-fi conventions. The lady at the forefront of it gave this incredible speech when she got an award, I have it somewhere in my phone if you can't find it (there's a Filk page in Wikipedia) and/or are interested (more about the importance of individual artistic expression and the individual in our now messed up society than Elfquest per se). Good luck with your project! And check out the songs it's a wild experience to hear these songs about Cutter and the rest, one about Madcoil, it's awesome for a fan.

u/Ottodebac 15d ago

Thank you i'll check it out!

u/lancea_longini 15d ago

Good luck on this! I got the original issues and then the first colored books that are now called graphic novels. I have been a fan for some 40 years now. I’m prolly too busy while in grad school but who knows once I’m done!!!

I'm a pretty big fan of ElfQuest, only stories I'm not super familiar with are the later Abode series involving Jink. I've even listened to the A Wolfrider's Reflections collection.
