Poison Elves (Mulehide)

    (Mulehide, 1993-1995, 1998)
™ and ©1993 Drew Hayes

Artist Drew Hayes has earned a well-earned reputation as a firebrand in the comics industry. This fiercely independent creator regularly took to task industry giants like Image and Diamond Comic Distribution on the editorial pages of his comics. And then, there was the comic itself…

Poison Elves is a wonderful series about an elf who’s bad right down to the bone. The “hero,” is an assassin named Lusiphur who, although he’s an elf, bears no relationship to the fanciful creatures most elf comics portray. He drinks, he swears like a sailor, and his greatest joy in life is to lay waste to an enemy with excruciating slowness. One might have thought this would make for an unsympathetic, unpopular comic. Instead, it’s made Poison Elves (formerly I, Lusiphur) into a modern cult classic.
