Poison Elves #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of Poison Elves collects the earliest adventures of the sarcastic, chain-smoking elf Ith and his motley crew, originally serialized in the 1990s indie comic series. The story follows Ith's quest for revenge after the murder of a friend, blending dark fantasy with streetwise humor and a punk rock sensibility. Drew Hayes's distinctive black-and-white art and sharp dialogue define this cult classic from Sirius Entertainment.
In "Down and Out in Amineta," Drew Hayes launches his surreal, satirical world with a sharp eye and a dark sense of humor, introducing Lusiphur as he bonds with new companions—especially the enigmatic Jace—before a sudden, bizarre twist pulls him into danger when the alluring Farallah invites him home. The story unfolds with Hayes’ distinctive art and lettering, while Janine Johnston’s cover captures the issue’s wild, offbeat energy.
In "Down and Out in Amineta," the scheming Moochau, self-proclaimed evil genius of Dur Seven and known vorlt, sends his daughter on a mission to capture an elf—specifically Lusiphur—for a dark ritual. With cunning and charm, she draws him into her father’s web, setting a dangerous game in motion.
In "Resurrection Man," wounded warrior Lusiphur finds unexpected refuge with Ed Fischer, a man whose unsettling likeness to the real-life Ed Gein casts a long shadow over their uneasy alliance. As the line between protector and predator blurs, Lusiphur must navigate a fragile trust in a world where appearances are as dangerous as any blade.
In "Similitude of a Hero," Lusiphur finds himself caught between a night of camaraderie with fellow elf Jace and an unexpected invitation from the enigmatic Farallah—only to be interrupted by the absurd menace of "The Purple Marauder," a flamboyant superhero parody whose arrival throws their evening into chaos.
In "Debt Collections," Lusiphur grapples with the brutal withdrawal from the poison that once defined him, punished by the ancient crime lord Nick for refusing a debt owed. As his body and mind unravel, the line between survival and surrender grows dangerously thin.
