Disney’s ‘Gargoyles’ Returns This December From Dynamite
by Erik Amaya
During Comic-Con International: San Diego, Dynamite Entertainment announced it was working on a Gargoyles comic book. Now, we know when it will arrive in stores — this December, according to the company.
As previously reported, series creator Greg Weisman is back to “write and shepherd” the new stories to be published as comics and graphic novels in what will be seen as both a “new season” of the program and a jumping-on point for new fans. The original animated series ran from 1994 to 1997 and featured “stone creatures who patrol New York City as night-time guardians” voiced by people like Keith David, Marina Siritis, and Ed Asner. Initially airing as part of the Disney Afternoon lineup, it represented a shift in tone for the block as the stories were more serious and more serialized with the Gargoyles acclimating to the 20th Century while facing old foes and new challenges. It also made Weisman a beloved creative force in animations circles.
Supporting the release of the first issue is a variety of covers from artists like David Nakayama (above), Amanda Conner, Lucio Parrillo, Lucio Parrillo, Lesley “Leirix” Li, Jae Lee, and Tony Fleecs (providing a cover dedicated to Bronx). Take a look at all of the variant covers in the gallery below:
