Red Sonja cosplay has come a long way since Wendy Pini first donned the real steel, but she's still more than willing and able to kick anyone's ... axe.
It's

#ElfQuest
has always portrayed a world where all children are allowed to be what they'll be with unconditional love & support. We can't be silent about the abhorrent efforts in TX, FL & other states to harm LGBTQ+ people, youth in particular.

Breaking news! Comic-Con scheduled a “Red Sonja at 50” panel and they didn’t know Wendy Pini was here. Needless to say, she corrected that oversight - as they say in Hollywood - in zero frames.
Today is National Coming Out Day. For the elves of ElfQuest, there's no need for coming out or identity labels like "straight" or "gay" because they are all naturally open to any expression of consenting love and pleasure. (1)

Taking a break from ElfQuest animation series news to share something else amazing:
Wendy & Richard Pini's personal ElfQuest archive of original art & more has been processed at Columbia University.
You can view it by appointment!
Wendy Pini: "All the elves look like an 80s hair band. LOL But had I known I was going to be drawing all that hair and busy costumes for over 40 years I'd have designed all the characters naked and bald!"
#ElfQuest
From Wendy Pini: This is me. I'm much more than an ally. I just happen to have been in a committed hetero relationship for over 50 years. It happens. I express my "otherness" through my art and writing and I don't feel I've missed a thing.
#PrideMonth
A few years ago the incomparable Stan Sakai presented Wendy Pini with a surprise: his rendition of ElfQuest's Wolfrider chief Cutter. We were gobsmacked - and honored - and ever since Wendy's wanted to repay Stan's generosity. 1/3

From Wendy Pini: Taken at some convention - can’t recall - sometime in the late 80s.
Yesterday was Stan’s 100th birthday and, far as I’m concerned, he’s still here. He touched the lives of all of us in the comics industry in many different ways. (1)
Coming soon to a browser (very) near you. February 28 (aka ElfQuest's 45th birthday) is right around the corner and we're working hard to make 2023 our best year yet!
Happy Mother’s Day! Nurturing mothers, tough mothers, wise mothers, grandmothers, mothers who are friends, and even those who serve as mothers regardless to whom they gave birth or even if they’ve given birth at all—ElfQuest celebrates mothers.
Happy Earth Day! Get outside in whatever way you're able to experience nature--to "feel the breath of the trees"--and then make the commitment to get involved in the effort to protect and restore it.
