ElfQuest 45 and Evergreen
Friday September 8, 2023 4:00 pm to 4:45 pm | Room: 339-342

ElfQuest has always been seen – and rightly so – as a pioneer in independent comics publishing. But back in 1978, Wendy and Richard Pini had no desire to be entrepreneurs; they simply wanted to produce the material, send it to a publisher, and enjoy the benefits of seeing their creative endeavor prosper. However, at the time, mainstream comic publishers were not sure about this type of story. But what the Pinis created then has endured for 45 years! Now, hear directly from the creative force behind ElfQuest as they look back on how it all started and what’s next for WaRP Publishing.
