Tanner

Tanner is an ancestral Wolfrider from ElfQuest's deep tribal history, appearing prominently in the Blood of Ten Chiefs storyline alongside legendary chiefs such as Timmorn Yellow-Eyes and Goodtree, helping chronicle the early lore of the elf-wolf riders.

Few universes in Bronze Age comics feel as richly mythologized as the one Wendy and Richard Pini built at WaRP Graphics, and Tanner — debuting in ElfQuest #4 in 1979 — is woven into the very deep history of that world. Appearing most prominently in ElfQuest: Blood of Ten Chiefs, the series dedicated to the ancestral lore of the Wolfriders, Tanner keeps extraordinary company: legends of the tribe like Timmorn Yellow-Eyes, Bearclaw, Goodtree, and Huntress Skyfire. With two key-issue appearances to their name and a presence that stretches across nearly two decades of WaRP Graphics publishing, Tanner is the kind of character that rewards the devoted reader who wants to understand where it all began — a quiet but genuine piece of one of independent comics' most beloved mythologies.
