    Elfquest Summer Special (2001) 1

    Wolfshadow! - Written by Wendy Pini, Richard Pini and Sonny Strait. Art by Wendy Pini and Sonny Strait. Cover by Wendy Pini. Thousands of years ago, the Wolfriders fought a terrible war against the trolls for possession of the Palace of the High Ones. The elves won...but in the process, a terrible betrayal was done. Now, in the safety of a new home in a new land, that deep hurt boils to the surface to render Skywise -- the stargazing, fun-loving companion and advisor to Chief Cutter -- a snarling, mindless creature who knows neither friendship nor love. Feared dead by Wolfriders and captured by a motley gang of human mercenaries, Skywise is doomed to spend the rest of his days caged like the beast he has become, a sideshow freak. But Cutter, Skywise's brother in all but blood, won't believe that his friend is gone -- physically or spiritually. Risking his own safety, he sets out to find and rescue the stargazer. But even if he succeeds, he must still restore his companion's mind, and of that, there is no guarantee. And as a bonus, comes with a full-color centerspread of the Wolfriders as you've never seen them before by Wendy Pini and Sonny Strait. 52 pages, B&W. Cover price $3.95.
