Questerday, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 7 - ElfQuest #7 (2/86)

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode Seven

Elfquest #7 (February, 1986)
"Voice of the Sun"
By Wendy and Richard Pini
Colors - Glynis Oliver
EPIC Edits - Archie and Jo
EiC - Shooter
Cover Price: 75¢ USD/$1 CAN

Questerdays is back - and today we get a sandwich-type story wherein we learn the value of teamwork!

When the elves work together... nothing can stop them!  Not half-snake/half-cat demons... and not half-horse/half-camel abominations!

We talk more about the generational schism among the elves regarding the curse of Recognition... and also, an almost unhealthy amount about Go-Bots!  It's a great time as always, we hope to see you there!

Questerdays: An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 6 - ElfQuest #6 (1986)

Questerdays: An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode Six

ElfQuest #6 (January, 1986)
"WolfSong"
By Wendy & Richard Pini
Colors - Glynis Oliver
EPIC Edits - Archie & Joe
BMOC - Jim Shooter
Cover Price: 75¢

Today the Chris's's's are back to cover a most important issue - for a few reasons!

A) This was the first comic book one of them paid an entire $5 for!

B) It tells the Secret Origin of Cutter's (unwitting) ascent into Wolfrider Chiefdom!

It's the story of Bearclaw's last stand and the menace of Madcoil -- but, as usual for us, that's not all!  We've also got all the MARVELous mid-80's backmatter to share!  Letters Pages!  Bullpen Bulletins!  Adverts!  Nonsense Tangents!  And more!

Picking up right where we left off last time - Cutter and Rayek are in the midst of THE CHALLENGE, and there two trials remain!  We'll discuss'em both right here!

All that, plus some news on the ElfQuest AUDIO MOVIE and an update on the ElfQuest lead figurines we didn't even know were a thing a few episodes back!

Special Thanks to the ElfQuest Facebook Group!

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 4 - ElfQuest #4 (1985)

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast - Episode Four

ElfQuest #4 (November, 1985)
"The Challenge"
By Wendy & Richard Pini
Colors - Glynis Oliver
EPIC Editors - Archie & Jo
Consultant - Big Jim
Cover Price: $0.75 USD / $1 CAN

What do you do when a new guy rolls into town and tries to take your best gal?  Well, if you've got one handy - you might just throw a centuries-old ceremonial wand in their direction!

Today, friends - we kick off THE CHALLENGE.  It's the oddly sympathetic Rayek challenging the oddly kinda dickish Cutter, and it's "Winner take Leetah"!  We will talk all about this, while trying our best not to say the words "current year" and/or "2021" every other sentence!

Also: We go through the first-ever ElfQuest "Quests & Answers" Letters Page... which features some of the most convenient letters a comic creator could EVER hope to get.  The Bullpen Bulletins page is... well, it's there.  And our ads are a blast as always!  It's two and a half hours of ElfQuest goodness with ya boys Chris² - you won't wanna miss it!

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 3 - ElfQuest #3 (1985)

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast - Episode Three

ElfQuest #3 (October, 1985)
"Raid at Sorrow's End"
By Wendy & Richard Pini
Colors - Glynis Oliver (uncredited)
EPIC Editors - Archie Goodwin & Jo Duffy
Chief & Consultant - Jim Shooter
Cover Price: $0.75 USD / $1.00 CAN

The Chris's are back... and on time (!), to deliver this third helping of Questerdays!

This time out, we pick up right where we left off with the Wolfriders' arrival at the little slice of paradise in the desert we'll soon find out is Sorrow's End.  We're going to meet some characters here that will loom large over the rest of this series... and be introduced to several very deep and interesting concepts - such as "Recognition" and "Soul Names"!  Definitely a seminal issue for the Questers!

Also: The rest of our usual nonsense... including a discussion of the worst Tom Hanks movie not to actually feature Tom Hanks, The Sisterhood of Steel, Fig Newtons, and Rip-Off shoes!  We even try calling the Rip-Off Hotline to find out more... did we get through?  Well, you'll just have to tune in and see... err, hear!

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 2 - ElfQuest #2 (1985)

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode Two

ElfQuest #2 (September, 1985)
"Journey to Sorrow's End"
By Wendy & Richard Pini
Colors - Glynis Oliver (uncredited)
EPIC Editor - Archie Goodwin
Chief - Jim Shooter
Cover Price: $0.75 USD / $1 CAN


They've been through the desert on a wolf with no name...

After a long layoff, the Chris's's's are finally back to begin the the Quest of the Wolfriders in earnest!  This time out, our tiny heroes try and strike a deal with some crafty Trolls... and find themselves in quite a mess... stranded in a desert wasteland with absolutely nothing on the horizon.  It's a good thing Skywise has that hunk of rock he won't stop talking about!

Will our Elves make it to safety?  Will they keep banded together even in these most trying times?  Will Redlance (somehow) prove even more useless?  The answers to all those questions, and many many more lay within this episode!

Also: In our grand Morituri Mondays style, we go through the Bullpen Bulletins, chat up some notable ads... and go (relatively) deep on everything EPIC for the cover-month of September, 1985!

We hope you'll join us on the Quest!
