At this weekend's Emerald City Comicon, Dark Horse announced two collections featuring early ElfQuest material by Wendy and Richard Pini.

In August, fans can expect The Complete ElfQuest Volume 1: The Original Quest, a 720-page, black-and-white collection of "what is now known as The Original Quest." It will include a gallery of concept art, pinups and covers, as well as commentary from the Pinis.

Then October brings ElfQuest: The Original Quest Gallery Edition. In what sounds like something akin to IDW's Artists Edition series, it will collect Wendy Pini's original artwork from the first five issues of "The Original Quest." According to the press release, "Each page is carefully scanned from Wendy Pini’s original art to capture every stroke and detail. At 12 1/8" by 17", it’s as close to holding Pini’s original art as a fan can get."

The Complete ElfQuest Volume 1: The Original Quest goes on sale Aug. 6. ElfQuest: The Original Quest Gallery Edition will arrive in comic shops Oct. 8 and bookstores Oct. 21.
