ElfQuest: The Final Quest #9

Deep in a shadowy cave lit by an eerie green flame, a young elf warrior clutches a sword and a gleaming sun-emblazoned shield while dark, hulking creatures press in from every side — two more elves visible in the background adding to the sense of a desperate underground standoff. Wendy and Richard Pini's beloved saga continues with issue #9 of The Final Quest, and the cover by Wendy Pini captures that perfect blend of wonder and peril that has defined ElfQuest for decades. If you've been following this chapter of the World of Two Moons, this is exactly the kind of tense, beautifully rendered moment that keeps the series so compelling in 2015.
