The Elfquest Hidden Years Holiday Special teamed Elfquest’s creator Wendy Pini with one of the industry’s most prolific and creative artists: John Byrne.
Talk about an unusual creative team!
While Byrne did not provide the pencils he did do the inking over Wendi’s pencils. The combination of her pencils and his inks is striking.
This is it as Cutter and Rayek have their final slugfest as long held hate surfaces and the final battle must be fought.
It’s interesting that Pini’s pencils took on a whole new level of ferocity and dynamism for this issue.
I surmise since John Byrne's style is so powerful that the collaboration of Pini's pencils and John’s inks upped the action as it were.
It’s sure both Pini and Byrne planned out the issue taking into account John’ contribution and that Wendy modified her style to suit his inks.
Regardless of the reasons the issue is a powerhouse of emotion, action and final resolution.
Matthew 22:37-39 (NKJV) “Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
