POISON ELVES DIGEST VOLUME 1: THE MULEHIDE YEARS SC

Written, art and cover by Drew Hayes.

From 1991 to 1995, Drew Hayes self-published an independent comic first called I, Lusiphur, then Poison Elves. The Mulehide Years contains all 20 issues of this seminal work, the origin story of an anti-hero named Lusiphur. In a surprisingly progressive medieval era where magic and violence rule the land, Lusiphur leaves the employ of an increasingly paranoid feudal lord to trek across Amrahly'nn in search of adventure -- which he finds in abundance. This collection includes tons of extras including rare, out-of-print and never before published material!
