I have copies of Elfquest from its first run that belonged to my brother. God they were excellent. I too am mystified as to why this modern classic hasn't become a film yet. It's blessed with great stories, characters, themes and even a spot of humor here and there. Plus it's refreshingly original...too many modern fantasy tales borrow a little too much from Tolkein IMO, but not Elfquest. Well, maybe a movie will happen someday...but I'm hoping that if anyone does take on the film, it'll be Miyazaki. I think he is the one animation director who would fully understand the material and not try to turn it into a loud, ADD-paced snarkfest. I feel your pain, dude.
