WaveDancers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WaveDancers is the title of several Elfquest comics, as well as the name of a tribe of aquatic elves in the same.

[edit] Original WaveDancers series

This six-issues full painted color miniseries was produced by the Australian studio Black Mermaid Productions (Jozef Szekeres, Julie Ditrich, and Bruce Love). After differences with Warp Graphics, three more planned miniseries (which would have totaled 18 issues) were canceled, and both companies agreed that this series would never be reprinted. The stories were removed from the Elfquest canon (it is now stated that they were hallucinations of the Broken One, an apparently insane member of the "New" Wavedancers). Black Mermaid Productions, the owners of the characters from the original WaveDancers, are developing a new property called Elf~Fin, using the characters from this series.

[edit] 'New' WaveDancers

The storyline was started in a special issue in full colour published in February 1996, and continued in installments in the anthology series Elfquest II. When this series was discontinued, WaveDancers was left without an ending. The story thus far has been reprinted (all in black and white) in the Reader's Collection #16, also titled WaveDancers. The miniseries The Discovery appeared in 2006 and continued the storyline.
