Gargoyles is a bimonthly comic book produced by Slave Labor Graphics and Creature Comics starting in 2006. It continues the storyline of the animated television series Gargoyles and is written by series creator Greg Weisman.

Contents

The first two issues of the comic translate the only third season episode Weisman considers to be canon, "The Journey" (which he wrote), with issue #3 beginning the new storyline. Weisman has confirmed that the comic starts in 1996, just after the conclusion of the final episode of the series' second season. #10 will be the first issue set in 1997.

In June 2005, it was announced that a series of Disney-licensed, bi-monthly Gargoyles comic books would be created by Slave Labor Graphics in association with CreatureComics.com. Gargoyles #1 was released on June 21, 2006 and promptly sold out, ensuring a second printing. After an extended delay, Gargoyles #2 was released on December 13, 2006. Following another unfortunate delay, Gargoyles #3 was released on March 28, 2007. Issue #3 contains the first all-new canon stories in ten years. Subsequent issues were released without delay with the exception of Gargoyles #6, which appeared October 10, 2007. This issue also contains an error. The artwork on page 12 and 16 were switched, even though the text is correct. Slave Labor has acknowledged this error and the corrected issue was reprinted on November 14th. Gargoyles #7 is tentatively scheduled for December 12, 2007 [1].

SLG has a three-year license from Disney, and president/owner Dan Vado has stated that he currently has "every intention" of renewing. Greg Guler, character designer for the original TV series, with Stephanie Lostimolo have produced the cover art for each issue thus far. Story art is primarily being produced by David Hedgecock and colored by Dustin Evans, although issues #4, 5, and 6 were drawn by guest artists. Gargoyles #6 used the unpublished script that Weisman wrote for the Marvel series.[2]

Greg Weisman has confirmed that one of his planned Gargoyles spin-offs, Bad Guys, is set to debut as a black-and-white six-issue limited series. The first issue is scheduled for release on November 29, 2007.[3] The series will be written by Weisman and drawn by Karine Charlebois, with cover art by Greg Guler and Stephanie Lostimolo.

Should Gargoyles: Bad Guys turn out to be successful, Gargoyles: Pendragon would be next in line sometime in 2008, followed by Gargoyles: Timedancer. Each of these would also appear as a six-issue black-and-white limited series.
