Elf Esteem

Created by Wendy and Richard Pini, ElfQuest changed the way that comics were done in the 1980’s. For starters, it was written and drawn by a woman, which was almost unheard of in the comics industry of the time. It was also one of the first indie comics to really become successful, and it was one of the first comic series to have a planned conclusion. The comic, written for a teen and adult audience, broke comic tropes by addressing complex matters. It’s also one of the longest running fantasy series ever. This summer, AADL is excited to host an exhibit of ElfQuest artwork! To find the exhibit, visit the Downtown library and head to the display cases in the basement. You’ll find your first code directly to your left when you enter the display area. It’s the large heading that an ElfQuest book is opened to.
