Picknose

Picknose is a troll character appearing in Elfquest, the fantasy saga published by WaRP Graphics debuting in Fantasy Quarterly #1 (1978). A cunning and self-interested troll, he interacts with the Wolfriders in their ongoing struggle for survival in their primitive world.

Picknose made their debut in the landmark Fantasy Quarterly #1 in 1978 — the Bronze Age launch that introduced the world to WaRP Graphics and the beloved ElfQuest universe created by Wendy and Richard Pini. Over an extraordinary 44-year span across ElfQuest, ElfQuest: Kings of the Broken Wheel, and ElfQuest: Hidden Years, this character has proven to be one of the saga's most enduring presences, sharing the page with iconic figures like Cutter, Skywise, Strongbow, Pike, and Nightfall. With 39 catalog appearances and two collector-recognized key issues to their name, Picknose is the kind of character who rewards long-time readers and curious newcomers alike — a fixture of one of independent comics' most cherished and continuously told epic fantasies.
