Recent work on the series has included the critically acclaimed Stargazers Hunt and, most recently, offering gorgeous new colorized editions of the Original Quest.

Wendy and Richard Pini's Dark Horse Creator Gift Guide

David Mizejewski, the ElfQuest Director of Community, Content & Promotions, gives us a little insight into the long-running series creator's thoughts about what to give those on your list. "Wendy and Richard Pini know a thing or two about long-running series. So, for gift giving, they have two recommendations."

Mike Mignola/Hellboy

"Anything from the Mike Mignola/Hellboy universe. "Krampus Statue" is particularly fun (we're fans of Krampusnacht ourselves)."

Check out some of the recent books in the Mignolaverse and find Hellboy and so much more wherever you buy comics!
