In addition to dealing with the gargoyles' attempts to adjust to modern New York City, the series also incorporated various supernatural threats to their safety and to the world at large. While trying to adjust to their new world, they are aided by a sympathetic police officer named Elisa Maza and quickly come into conflict with the plotting Xanatos. Most are betrayed and killed by humans while petrified and the remainder are magically cursed to sleep-i.e., be frozen in stone form until the castle "rises above the clouds." A thousand years later in 1994, billionaire David Xanatos purchases the gargoyles' castle and has it reconstructed atop his New York skyscraper, the Eyrie Building, thus awakening Goliath and the remainder of his clan. In 994, the clan lives in a castle in Scotland. The series features a species of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that turn to stone during the day, focusing on a clan led by Goliath. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles! Stone by day, warriors by night, We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Greg Weisman served as a chief creator and driver of the series, and later continued the story of the show in comics.įurther details on release scheduling, creative teams, and more properties to be announced soon, as Dynamite and Disney strive to bring fans the best stories and experiences.One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. Before that, Marvel had its own 11-issue Gargoyles. Acclaimed for its serious tone, complex arcs, and themes, the show ran for multiple seasons from 1994 to 1997. Weisman previously wrote an 18-issue Gargoyles comics run for Slave Labor Graphics in 2006, which picked up the events from Gargoyles Season Two. Gargoyles stars a cast of the eponymous stone creatures who patrol New York City as night-time guardians. The new comics, facsimiles, and graphic novels are scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2022. Creators involved with these comics include Amanda Conner, Joe Madureira, Jimmy Palmiotti, Martin Pasko, Grant Miehm, and Mort Todd.
In addition to that, for fans who have wanted to read the entire run, the stories will then be remastered and compiled into paperback volumes to present the full stories for the shelf. Dynamite will be helping fans seeking out these stories and bringing them to a new audience by releasing key issues again as facsimile editions at an affordable price for select issues.
On that note, those back issues of Gargoyles are highly sought after by fans, with many hard to track down or going for premiums in the market.
