Richard Moore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2001

Gorgeous but tough-as-nails elf Meg is a bounty-hunter in a land out in the Œole west peopled with elves, ogres, shape-shifters and all manner of frightful critters. Hey, it¹s a livin¹ and Meg, well, she¹s darn good at it! But she and her bear companion Phil (who tends to be a bit less hot-blooded) just may have their hands full when they set out to capture Neil Voss, elfin bad dude. There¹s one tall problem: his pet ain¹t no bear, it¹s a fire-breathin¹ dragon the size of a house! With Moore¹s inimitable sense of timing, action, sexiness and... dry humor! Collects the first 4-issue mini-series with additional pin-up art and a new story all at a larger size showing off Moore¹s great art to better effect!

Welcome to the Far West. It's a little like the Old West except it is full of elves, ogres, demons and other unusual beings.

In the center of the tale is Meg, a female elf bounty-hunter with a big nose and a bigger attitude. At her side is Phil, a bear of unknown breed. Meg is very good at her job and is between jobs.

But events after a poker game draw her into the hunt for elf bad guy Voss. She is not the only one after him, but she's the most likely to succeed. Although there's a mighty big dragon that might have a thing or two to say about it.

A fun story that is beautifully drawn in black and white. I love Phil as he plays a great straight-man. By the end of the story all you want to know is "Where's volume 2?"

Fans of Moore's Boneyard will find quite a different story here (although no less entertaining).

I really admire that Moore is able to instill a sense of happiness in his characters--no one smiles like one of them! There's nothing degrading about his characters in any of his works which is really something to give us all hope in this industry. As for this story, the description is enough. You can't go wrong by adding this to your collection.

This is the first thing I've read by Moore but probably not the last. Cool twist on the western.
