I think rainfletcher might be the only one on my flist who will be interested in this, but I'm so very excited by this story in the Hollywood Reporter!

Elves Gather at Warners

For years and years there has been talk of an ElfQuest movie but it never came to fruition. It'll be interesting to see if this one actually makes it through the process. I'm also curious as to whether it'll be live action or animation. There are pluses and minuses to both. For those of you on my flist who read comic books, I HIGHLY recommend ElfQuest. Especially the original Quest. They're not easy to get your hands on these days, but the color versions are best. If you don't mind reading them online, the official site has been uploading the issues over the past year in celebration of the 30th anniversary.

I've been meaning to make some EQ icons for awhile and this just reminds me I haven't done that yet. I'll use Nightcrawler since Petalwing from EQ made a guest appearance in my favorite Uncanny X-Men.

I found Elfquest at issue 16 of the original black and white run, when it came out quarterly, and then spent the next 3 months annoying every comic and specialty shop in Australia by phone for all the back issues. It was an amazingly frantic and wonderful 3 months.

And the fact that Cutter had got skewered by a troll's pike in issue 16 had absolutely nothing to do with me falling in love with the series, of course. *veg*

I need Elfquest icons too... hmmmm...

My brother got me hooked on them. I think at the time they'd published up to issue 10. I remember at the time thinking that three months was a LIFETIME to wait for the next issue.

I should be in bed right now (I have to be up in 6 hours) but I'm looking for good scans to use for icons. *g*

I was a confirmed Marvel girl at the time, having already gone on a mighty quest to find back issues of the X-Men after I'd come in during the Kitty Pryde issues... so this huge, b/w comic with its stylised artwork just blew my mind!

I think I can safely blame Wendy Pini for me branching out into anime. *g*

Let me know how the quest for scans goes!

Ditto on the Marvel thing for me. Especially the X-Men. They helped me kill a good chunk of a summer at my grandmother's with absolutely nothing to do.

If there are specific scenes or characters you'd like, let me know.
