Elk's Run is an eight-issue limited comic book series created by writer Joshua Hale Fialkov, artist Noel Tuazon, and colorist Scott A. Keating, featuring covers by Datsun Tran.
The first three issues of the series were published by Joshua Fialkov's Hoarse and Buggy Productions, which had earlier begun publishing the five issue anthology series Western Tales of Terror (2004–2005).[1] The first issue (which featured an eight-page backup story, "The Generic Monsters in: Where Werewolf?", by Fialkov and artist Nate Bellegrade) had a print run of only eight-hundred copies, making it difficult to find despite positive reviews.[2][3] The series was then picked up by Canadian publisher Speakeasy Comics, which released a "Bumper Edition" in October 2005,[4] collecting the first three issues and featuring a new cover by Darwyn Cooke. This was followed by an individual fourth issue in December 2005, but Speakeasy became defunct in February 2006, resulting in the cancellation of the remaining four issues.[5][6]
In 2006, the Villard Books imprint of Random House collected all eight chapters of the series in trade paperback form.[7] The collection, simply titled Elk's Run, was released in March 2007 with an introduction by Charlie Huston. In 2015, all eight issues were released digitally by Oni Press on a weekly schedule, beginning on 25 August, leading up the release of a new hardcover collected edition on 11 November, with an introduction by Ian Rankin.[8]
