He began self-publishing I, Lusiphur in 1991, later renamed Poison Elves. His black-and-white work became a prominent example of distribution to the direct market. He later signed a contract with Sirius Entertainment, where he produced further issues and a special color edition, collected into ten paperback volumes.

      Spanning two years of Drew Hayes' POISON ELVES series, "Guild War" presents the second chapter in the epic "Sanctuary" storyline. Captured by a rival criminal organization, the Elvin assassin Lusiphur makes a desperate escape from the Eye of the Lins' dungeon. Marshalling his fellow killers, Luse and the Sanctuary Guild retaliate, leading to an all-out gang war between both assassin guilds and Lt. Vido's renegade cops. Events in Luse's life spiral out of control when his ex-wife, the sorceress Hyena, and the unstoppable killing machine Widowmaker return to complicate matters. His employers, Morachi and Talon, begin to reconsider his place in Sanctuary. Unfortunately, retiring from Sanctuary is nearly impossible—one must either die or be killed. This volume also features the most shocking event in POISON ELVES history, making it an essential read. Drew Hayes entered the comic book field in 1991 by self-publishing his cult-hit series, I, LUSIPHUR. Over four years, he published 20 issues, changed the title to POISON ELVES, and became a respected voice in the self-publishing movement. He later brought POISON ELVES under the Sirius Entertainment banner, maintaining creative freedom. The series remains one of the most popular independent comics, with over 90 issues published, and Hayes continues to produce new content while living in the Seattle area and attending rockabilly concerts.
