Plunge back into the dark, cynical, and hyper-kinetic fantasy underworld with this premium collection of first printings from Ape Entertainment's highly anticipated 2013 revival of Drew Hayes’ legendary cult-classic masterpiece, Poison Elves. Continuing the unfiltered, razor-sharp saga of Lusiphur—the black-clad, dual-dagger-wielding elven assassin with a severe attitude problem—this modern continuation masterfully honors Hayes' original vision while injecting blockbuster modern visual energy into the dark fantasy landscape.

This highly curated, consecutive 3-book lot gathers the complete opening story arc (#1 through #3). Featuring the critical premiere debut key alongside a spectacular third issue cover masterpiece by an industry titan, this collection is a phenomenal pickup for independent black-and-white boom purists, dark fantasy investors, or retail store owners looking to add high-interest indie sets straight onto their storefront displays or longbox inventories.

The Comic Book Lineup

1. Poison Elves #1 Vol. 3 (2013) — Cover A PREMIERE DEBUT KEY

The blockbuster return of a dark fantasy icon! Written by Robb Horan with gritty interior line work by Osvaldo Montpeller, this long-awaited premiere issue brings Lusiphur back to life in a world of cutthroat thieves, dark magic conspiracies, and high-stakes underworld bounties. Capped with a striking, atmospheric main cover that commands instant shelf pop.

2. Poison Elves #2 Vol. 3 (2013) — Cover A First Printing

The high-stakes assassination plots and regional tensions build rapidly. Lusiphur navigates a dangerous web of old rivalries and new magical threats, forcing him into close-quarters tactical standoffs where his legendary precision blades are pushed to their absolute limits.

3. Poison Elves #3 Vol. 3 (2013) — Cover A Darick Robertson First Printing

The survival tension hits a critical ceiling. This milestone early chapter is heavily elevated by an incredible, museum-grade main cover illustrated entirely by industry superstar and The Boys co-creator Darick Robertson. Robertson’s visceral, hyper-detailed style captures Lusiphur's dangerous, cold-blooded aesthetic with flawless precision.
