Spine

Spine is a member of the WaveDancers, the ocean-dwelling elves of the ElfQuest universe. Introduced in the 1996 DC-published miniseries, Spine inhabits the aquatic world alongside fellow sea-elves such as Spray, Salt, and Snakeskin.

Spine made their debut in the beloved aquatic corner of the ElfQuest universe, arriving in 1996's ElfQuest: WaveDancers #1 — a Copper/Modern Age entry point into one of comics' most richly imagined fantasy worlds, brought to life by creators Kathryn Bolinger and Steve Blevins. Published under DC, this character swims in vivid company alongside the likes of Spray, Salt, Snakeskin, Moonmirror, and Redcrest, a roster of names that evokes the oceanic, otherworldly flavor ElfQuest does so well. Spine's story stretches across nearly two decades, surfacing in key later titles like ElfQuest: The Discovery, ElfQuest: Metamorphosis, and ElfQuest: The Final Quest Special — a quiet testament to the enduring pull of this universe on its devoted fans. A rare find with only a handful of catalogued appearances, Spine is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes ElfQuest collecting such a rewarding adventure.
