5.0 out of 5 stars
Wendy Pini does it again, September 2, 2000
This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #08a: Dreamtime (Paperback)
Yet another masterpiece by Wendy Pini. I had only just finished "Forevergreen" (I constantly read them out of order), and to see the crisp, smooth drawings was like a breath of fresh air. This is in no way an insult to Barry Blair, or any other Elfquest artist; I merely mean that Wendy knows best what her elves look like, and captures the essense of each personality. The artwork looks three-dimensional, so that it seems to have a depth that some of the other Reader's Collections lack. I look at each page, marveling "That's how Shenshen and Cutter look like!" Dreamtime's story wasn't skimped on, either. The dreams add new insights and facets to each Wolfriders' personality, and were told in an inventive way. In favorites, i'm torn between Pike's story and "Dreamtime - Pt?" I don't want to give too much of the story away, though, so I won't tell you too much about it: Just that it's terrific!

Classic Pini!, October 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #08a: Dreamtime (Paperback)
For those who prefer the art of Wendy Pini, this is the book for you. It is part of a series of phonebook-format collections of the more recent series and features the characters we all know and love. After Rayek whisked the palace away from the time the Wolfriders existed in, they slept for 10,000 years awaiting the return of Cutter's family. Surely they did not spend the entire span of time completely unconscious! This book follows the dreams they had as they were suspended in timeless slumber--and the intriguing message this brings to the tribe. Although this series is done by the original artist, don't be fooled. Both the beautiful art and the lovely writing are part of Wendy's newer, more mature style--and boy, is it a treat! A "must-read", as Siskel and Eibert might say.
