30 Day Comic Challenge Day 04

Day 04 - Your Guilty Pleasure Comic or Character

Yes, I know the artwork got more and more rushed and sloppy as the series went on. Yes, I do realize that the comic was thinly disguised erotica. Heck, it wasn't even all that thinly disguised...

I still read every single issue of Elflord in the 1980s.














And you know what? At its best moments, it was a really good character-driven sword & sorcery story with some great dialogue, some interesting characters, and some good swashbuckling action. Barry Blair and Aircel were also innovators in digital coloring and produced some really eye-catching covers and vivid interior art.

Doing the research for this, I found out the creator passed away last year. Rest in peace, Barry Blair.
