Today’s episode is an epic lovefest for two of the greatest science fantasy magazines ever published: Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal. Like an entire generation of readers, Dwight and Swain became huge fans of Epic and ‘Métal Hurlant’ back in the mid 80s. The most revered science fiction, fantasy and comic book storytellers of all time were featured in their hallowed pages: Moebius, Michael Moorcock, Jim Starlin, Wendy Pini, Boris Vallejo, Luis Royo, Jon J. Muth, Richard Corben, Jo Duffy, Enki Bilal, Marie Severin, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, H.R. Giger, Simon Bisley, Pepe Moreno, Harlan Ellison, the Hildebrandt Brothers and many, many more.In the conversation, Dwight and Swain give their first impressions of the magazines, namecheck their favorite artists from that era, and of course, discuss the 1981 ‘Heavy Metal’ movie as well as a one-time rumored David Fincher/James Cameron produced sequel.The hosts of Sidebar Forever are of the opinion that Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal closed the gap between amazing book cover paintings and amazing comic book art. They were tastemakers and showed the world what great fantasy stories could, and should be. By the way, four decades later, Heavy Metal magazine is still being published. As always, thanks for listening to the podcast. For more episodes of the show, visit us at sidebarforever.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Keith Lowell Jensen Presents: The Keith Lowell Jensen Show with Keith Lowell Jensen
Wendy and Richard Pini, the creators of Elf Quest talk with Keith about many things, but mostly about that time he "got fresh" with Issue 17 of their comic.ELFQUEST IS THE LONGEST-RUNNING INDEPENDENT FANTASY GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES IN THE USA, WITH MORE THAN 20 MILLION COMICS, GRAPHIC NOVELS AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS IN PRINT.https://elfquest.com
ElfQuest is a back with an all-new, eight-part series called Stargazer's Hunt! In this episode, David and guest host Tanya Scott-Thomas react to the premiere issue, discussing the art collaboration between Wendy Pini and series artist Sonny Strait, the first glimpse of life on the Starhome, Strongbow's grief, Jink as a child, Venka's parenting choices, and Skywise's loss and fear. Also included is a recap of major events of The Final Quest, news updates on the latest new ElfQuest releases, and a summary of all the ways to purchase and read ElfQuest comics and graphic novels.
The world of ElfQuest is filled with hundreds of incredible characters. In this episode of the ElfQuest Show podcast, I'm launching the first of what I hope to be many episodes exploring specific characters. While it was tempting to start with Cutter, Leetah or Skywise--the main characters of the series--I decided to kick this off with a character who hasn't had as much time in the spotlight. Even secondary players in ElfQuest have their own personalities, histories, roles to play, and devoted fandoms. Who personifies this better than Shenshen, Leetah's "little sister"? I chatted with Wendy Pini herself on the origins of Shenshen's character, her visual design and how she evolved over the course of forty years. I hope you enjoy it.
For my final podcast of 2018, I have very special episode; think of it as on more Christmas present from me to unwrap under the tree! After an epic forty-year run, ElfQuest reached its conclusion this year with The Final Quest. On this episode the creators of ElfQuest Richard and Wendy Pini join me. Richard was a Marvel Zombie back in the in 1960s and we talk about how he met Wendy through a Marvel comic. What ever happened to the first stories Wendy ever made as a child? Wendy talks about her first published comic work. How did she land the job? Wendy reflects on her television appearance on the Mike Douglas Show in 1977 and also what happened off camera. Richard explains why he left his job at IBM to focus on ElfQuest and why it was necessary to found WaRP Graphics. What important advice do Richard and Wendy give to artists about their portfolio reviews? And what lies ahead for Richard, Wendy, and ElfQuest in 2019? I conclude with the fun questions I ask my guests, and Richard and Wendy handled them with both humor and aplomb!

This weekend in Seattle's Convention Centre, ReedPOP's EMERALD CITY COMIC CON is attracting thousands of eager nerds and pop culture enthusiasts, along with some incredible Special Guests and Exhibitors. Joining them is AEISD's 'man on the ground' Dan Berry, who is holding a number of interviews over the course of the event. One such interview is a conversation with the legendary creators of long-running and ground-breaking comic, ELFQUEST, which comes to a close this year after over forty years of fantastical storytelling. Here, Dan talks to Richard and Wendy Pini about the origins of the epic saga, as well as the process in its conclusion and what is next up for these amazing creative minds.
Today's Guest: Wendy Pini, Richard Pini, co-creators, Elfquest Order 'Elfquest Archives Vol. 1' by Wendy and Richard Pini from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above! You know when you meet someone early in your life how that’s the person they will always be in your mind’s eye? That’s how I’ll always see Wendy Pini. I was a teenager with a comic book fixation, and she was a stunning redhead who dressed up at comic book conventions as Red Sonja, the chain-mail, bikini-wearing, female barbarian that emerged from Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian comics. She also participated in a nightclub show put together by comics artist Frank Thorne, with Thorne as “The Wizard.” My friend Bob Pinaha was a little older than me at the time. Well, I guess he’s still older than me, now that I think about it, and he had a real thing for Wendy, so I always saw his latest Polaroid snapshots of her. Wow! We were all doubly impressed over the years as Wendy re-emerged in comics as a successful artist, writer, and publisher and the creator of the Japanese manga-influenced Elfquest books that have endured for the past 30 years. Elfquest, most recently published by DC Comics, was actually a production of Wendy and her husband, Richard Pini. Wendy and Richard join me today to talk about Elfquest’s long run as well as their latest work, an online comics adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s novel, Masque of the Red Death.

There's a brief interview with Wendy and Richard Pini, and bits and pieces from the Golden Apple appearance from the "Fantasy with Teeth Tour".
Wendy Pini is the remarkably talented creator-writer-artist of the legendary graphic novel, Elfquest. Wendy's career began in the early ‘70's when she began illustrating sci-fi magazines. Through writing an issue of Red Sonja for Marvel Comics in the mid ‘70s, she entered the professional world of comics.The post Wendy Pini, Creator-Writer-Artist of Elfquest-Episode #1 appeared first on Storybeat with Steve Cuden.
Episode 250 is a special one, and it all kicks off with my recent interview with comics legend Neal Adams, who shares his thoughts on what Marvel and DC are doing right and what he thinks they could improve on. He talks about his recent work on Superman: The Coming of the Supermen, The CW’s Arrow, and what he has coming our way soon! You can keep up with him at his website at this link! Then everything wraps up when I bring back one of my favorite interviews, and that was with Wendy Pini from Elfquest! This first aired in Episode 125, but a few months after that, Wendy complimented me by saying online that this was one of her favorite interviews that happened when Elfquest: The Final Quest began. We talked about many things Elfquest, including how she and Richard Pini make the magic happen, how profound the characters are, her use of computer graphics, and what else she had planned back when this chat first aired, much of which is still relevant today. Don’t miss it! Next week, we begin the next 250 episodes, and more! Support this show by signing up at http://patreon.com/MajorSpoilers
The Final Quest is steadily marching towards its ultimate conclusion--as is this podcast. The story has reached the halfway mark with issue #12 of the Final Quest. We invited Wendy and Richard Pini back to the podcast to share their thoughts on the Final Quest and their experience creating it over these last few years. This episode is filled with inside insight. You don't want to miss it!
Be sure to pick up the second issue of Elfquest: The Final Quest, which hit the stands on Wednesday, March 26! It continues the tremendous tradition of excellence provided by Wendy Pini, who I have the honor of interviewing in this landmark 125th episode of the podcast! We discuss how Elfquest has progressed over the last few decades and continues now with Dark Horse, who is doing an excellent job of promoting this classic comic that you should be reading! Be sure to listen in! Don’t miss my fun interview with Marvel artist Steve Pugh, who does a great job of providing art for Marvel's All-New Invaders, next week!
I'll be broadcasting from the Left Coast this week, and will have the delight of sitting down (at the same mic, even!) with my favorite author/artist/visionary, Wendy Pini. It will be a free-for-all hour of talk about creating stories, mentoring, growing up, apart and together...join us for an hour of stimulating conversation, raucous bouts of laughter, and the occasional reading question at 248-809-3475!
Speaking about the unspeakable: Death. Transition. Passing Over. As a medium, I deal with it all the time. But for those who lose loved ones -- human or animal -- how do you process the loss? Artist/author/visionary Wendy Pini and I will be exploring this subject with you tonight, and we'll take calls from listeners to share your thoughts and beliefs. We all have a "warranty that will expire" someday... How we live the time we have makes all the difference in the world. Join us for a little different "fireside chat."
You are the Hero! Although other eras may seem more turbulent, there has never been a time of transition on Earth such as this one. We are all profoundly lucky to be witnessing (and in some cases participating in) this unparalleled growth spurt. But it's damn scary. All structures: physical, social and philosophical, seem unsteady and about to topple. How does one, therefore, find a foothold? By journeying within...to the center of the Self...for that is the only place to find lasting stability. Join quest companions Corbie Mitlied and author/illustrator/visionary Wendy Pini as they explore the classic structure of The Hero's Journey and how, with all its encounters and revelations along the way, it can be used as a marvelous meditation for aligning with the powerful transformative forces of today
Wendy Pini and Corbie Mitleid have known each other since 1983. Their relationship has been rich and varied: employer/employee, sisters, friends, and sensei/student. Now equals in their various spheres of influence, their dialogues with each other, and shared with clients and fans alike, reach deep into the search for self, for meaning, and for communication that spans worlds and times. Three decades of mutual respect, understanding and affection makes for a potent wine! Join them as they examine the World of the Shadow Worker in both story and the world today. Open phones in the second half of the show! Do you know "something" is waiting for you in the future, but you can't get it here now? Or is there a situation that feels stuck, and you want to know whether you can do something to move it forward?
