Who is Madcoil?

Madcoil is a monstrous, serpentine predator that terrorizes the Wolfriders in the world of Two Moons. This savage, seemingly unnatural creature represents one of the most fearsome physical threats the elf tribe has ever faced, driving the Wolfriders into desperate conflict for survival.

Few threats in the beloved world of ElfQuest loom as darkly as Madcoil, a creature of nightmare that slithered into readers' imaginations when Wendy and Richard Pini's groundbreaking independent fantasy debuted in the Bronze Age. First unleashed in ElfQuest #4 in 1979, Madcoil haunts the same pages as Cutter, Strongbow, Treestump, Clearbrook, and Pike β€” the very heart of the Wolfriders' world β€” which tells you something about the shadow this creature casts over the tribe's story. Published under the fiercely independent WaRP Graphics banner, Madcoil's presence echoes across ElfQuest, Hidden Years, and Kings Cross, a testament to how deeply this particular terror is woven into the series' mythology across 35 years of storytelling. For collectors and fans drawn to the moments that define a fantasy world's darkest corners, Madcoil is exactly the kind of figure that makes ElfQuest so unforgettable.
