ElfQuest: The Final Quest #22

Wendy and Richard Pini's long-running saga enters its penultimate stretch with this gorgeous 2017 installment from Dark Horse. The cover, penciled and inked by Wendy Pini, is a breathtaking wide-angle vista: a luminous comet blazes across a sweeping violet-and-crimson sky while a lone silhouetted figure tumbles freely through the air above a dark, craggy treeline. It's the kind of image that captures the series' enduring sense of wonder — vast, a little dangerous, and unmistakably beautiful.
