The Isle of View comic is titled Xanth Graphic Novel Vol. 1: Return to Centaur and was published by Father Tree Press in 1990. It was adapted by Richard Pini, drawn by Dennis Fujitaki, and colored by Gary Kato. (I liked Dennis Fujitake's style - he would put little pun creatures in the pictures, such as a butter-fly for variety. In case you are curious and dirty-minded, Godiva Goblin wore clothes, Chex Centaur wore a halter top, and Naga Nada magically appeared clothed whenever she shifted from serpent form to human form.) The story in Return to Centaur reached the cliffhanger at the end of Chapter 7, though a few pages of Chapter 8 were covered earlier (comics manage scene changes more easily than novels).

There was supposed to be a second volume, Morning Becalms Electra, which was never published. Three years ago at the ICON Science Fiction Convention at Stony Brook, NY, Richard Pini who manages Elfquest was the comics guest of honor there. At the time Elfquest was being published as a single monthly black-and-white comic that was running four or five stories each issue in serialization. Pini mentioned that he had found the script to Morning Becalms Electra again and was thinking of getting someone to do the art and publishing it in the monthly Elfquest. To prepare for that Pini was going to republish Return to Centaur in black-and-white (the graphic novel was colored) in the monthly Elfquest.

Richard Pini talked of his intention to reprint Return to Centaur at his Guest of Honor speech at ICON, repeated in his editorial the next Elfquest, Issue #12:

You see, back in 1990 when I learned of Jenny's plight and Piers Anthony's selflessness, and was given the chance to allow Elfquest to be a part of Jenny's recovery, I leapt at the opportunity. Piers, in Xanth novel #13, Isle of View, had brought his world and the World of Two Moons together and plunked Jenny right down in the middle of it, much to the delight of all concerned. Piers wrote prose, and Dennis Fujitake, Gary Kato, and I tranformed those words into the graphic novel Return to Centaur, which was published at the end of 1990.

You don't need the gory details of what the United States' active involvement in the Persian Gulf, starting in January 1991, did to the general economy. Suffice it to say that Return to Centaur -- which was to be the first half of the adaption of Isle of View -- flew out of the starting gate and got shot down almost immediately. It was a critical success and a financial fiasco. The second half of the adaption died before it could be born. And since then I've been wishing there were some way to finish what we'd started way back when. If for no one else then for Jenny, with whom I confess I've not shared a letter in far too long.

And then, sitting in my easy chair with these books of letters in my lap, the answer came to me. It's not feasible for Warp to reissue the first half of the story (It's long out of print) and then do up the second half in the same format. But why not reprint the first half in the pages of the new Elfquest comic magazine, so that all those fans who've written letters asking, "Where can I find this Xanth/Elfquest comic?" will be able to read the original beginning. And then, when that's done, continue the story in serial form, again in the comic book! So that's what I am going to do. The script's already being written. Gotta tell you, letting out the breath after holding it for so many years feels real good!

He did reprint Return to Centaur in the Elfquest comic in six nonconsecutive issues. The Return to Centaur story was completed before the Elfquest comic ceased to exist. The last issue of Elfquest was issue 33, February 1999, so the story was not continued past Return to Centaur. The comics market had gotten worse and Richard Pini decided to switch to graphic novels alone until it get good enough to support a monthly comic again. In his last editorial, Pini promised to publish a few of the unfinished stories as complete graphic novels so that people could read the endings, but Return to Centaur was not one of those promises.
