After Frank Miller’s Dark Knight and Moore & Gibbons’ Watchmen, superhero comics became darker and a little bit “too” serious”
In response to that DC’s Justice League and Marvel’s Excalibur put some humour in the business.
Victor Santos’ Los Reyes Elfos (The Elven Kings) is a 2 issue miniseries (later reprinted in a softcover) self-published in 2000 under the label 7 monos.
On the personal side, I have to say that I didn’t see the series’ potential when I was offered to “invest” on it. But it was a big success in the Spanish comics independent market and gave a big push to Victor’s career, helping him to to keep working and evolving constantly up to reach a very high level as shown in works like Mice Templar or Filthy Rich.
Definitively, a work that has to be known…
