Contents: EQ: Hidden Years

NOTES:

There are no letters pages for HY #1 - #5 as the space was used by the Strongbow print giveaway running at the time.

HY #9.5 has neither a letters column nor an editorial. It does contain a lengthy feature entitled "Evolution of an Elfquest Story", but as this would be difficult to translate into an all-text format, this has been left out as well. Since this leaves nothing for that issue, HY #9.5 has been omitted entirely from this archive.

Starting with the May 1993 issues, the same editorial column is printed in all EQ issues for the same month. To eliminate redundancy (and to save disk space), the editorials from that point onward will be put on separate pages with links to and from the issue archive(s) in question.

HY #20 has no editorial; this space that month was instead used to print a CBG 1994 Fan Awards ballot.

HY #23 has no editorial or letters pages, so it has been omitted entirely from this archive. [the editorial space that month was used to print an ad for the Treasure Quest contest, and the letters were replaced with an ad/preview for EQ: The Rebels]

HY #24 has no letters pages. [space that month was used for an ad/preview for EQ: Jink]

HY #26 - #30 also have no letters pages. HY #30 (the final issue) however, does have a "guest editorial" by Joellyn Auklandus.
