ElfQuest #13

Wendy and Richard Pini's beloved ElfQuest saga continues with issue #13, published by Marvel's Epic Comics imprint in August 1986. The cover, penciled and inked by Wendy Pini, draws the eye into a mysterious, pyramid-tinged chamber where a regal, green-robed figure seated on a throne holds a small pale form, while a wide-eyed, red-haired elf girl in the foreground reacts with clear alarm — her hands flying to her face — as two other elaborately dressed figures look on with equal unease. It's a richly textured scene that hints at tension, wonder, and the kind of deeply imagined world that made ElfQuest such a distinctive voice in 1986 fantasy comics.
