Blackfell

Blackfell is a wolf companion appearing in the ElfQuest universe, part of the Wolfriders' pack in the world of Two Moons. Like all Wolfrider wolves, Blackfell shares a deep soul-bond with the elf tribe that rides and lives alongside them.

Born in the pages of ElfQuest #4 back in 1979, Blackfell is a Bronze Age creation of the celebrated Wendy and Richard Pini, emerging from WaRP Graphics' landmark independent fantasy series at a time when creator-owned comics were carving out bold new territory. Over a span stretching nearly a quarter century, Blackfell surfaces across the richly layered world of ElfQuest, Blood of Ten Chiefs, and Wolfrider, keeping company with beloved figures like Cutter, Bearclaw, Strongbow, Dewshine, and Treestump — the very heart of the Wolfrider saga. It's a testament to the depth and care the Pinis brought to their world-building that even a character with a modest appearance count inhabits such storied, carefully tended company. For collectors who love the lore-rich corners of independent fantasy comics, Blackfell is one of those quietly rewarding finds that reminds you just how alive the ElfQuest universe truly is.
