Dynamite Comics Launches Kickstarter for GARGOYLES Classic Comics As Part Of The Show's 30th Anniversary.

Dynamite Comics and Disney Comics are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Gargoyles with the first-ever Kickstarter campaign featuring brand new graphic novels collecting long out-of-print Gargoyles comic books.

Dynamite Entertainment brought back Gargoyles as a comic series in 2022 to great acclaim. Now the publisher is crowdfunding a reprint of the classic comics based on the beloved animated series. To celebrate the 30th anniversary, Dynamite is excited to offer three beautiful tomes collecting all of these previous tales for fans. The set is initially being offered on Kickstarter to reach and communicate with diverse fans of all ages directly.

“I’m honestly thrilled that these three volumes will finally give Gargoyles fans easy access to these great stories, including the canon SLG tales!” said Weisman. “I think the Dynamite Kickstarter is a great way for Gargoyles fans to get the word out and to reserve their copies. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I hope our fans don’t miss out!”

The first volume is the hotly anticipated compilation of the first-ever Gargoyles comic series from 1995. This 11-issue title was originally released by Marvel Comics and is set loosely between the first two seasons of the original TV show. The memorable first issue featured a jaw-dropping cover by artist Joe Madureira, one of the biggest superstars of the era from his work on Uncanny X-Men. The series was written by Martin Pasko (Superman) and Mort Todd.

The second and third volumes of the Gargoyles Classic Years will be an incredible treat. From 2006 to 2009, a new Gargoyles comic series was launched from SLG Publishing in association with CreatureComics — the first written by Weisman. The main series, often referred to as “Clan Building,” was joined by a companion title, Bad Guys. Issues #9-12 of Gargoyles and #5-6 of Bad Guys did not see release and were only printed in paperback collections with small print runs. They were produced at a smaller digest size and have been incredibly expensive for years on the secondary market. 

The three-volume set is available in multiple variations for different kinds of fans and collectors. Each is available as either hardcover or paperback. Deluxe hardcover editions with signed tip-in pages are being offered. For the Gargoyles diehards, the most premium option will be the Gargoyles 30th Anniversary Premier Editions limited to just 1,000 copies each!

In addition to the books at the center of this celebration, the campaign will offer several add-ons for backers, including lithograph prints of Jae Lee and Amanda Conner’s covers for Dynamite’s Gargoyles #1. The most premium art piece anyone can get will be a deluxe signed and remarqued giclée print of Lee’s Gargoyles art.

In addition to the reprint of the full series, fans can get special facsimile editions of the very first issue with gold or purple foil stamping. Sketch cover options are also available, as well as commissioned original art from Lee. Plus, collector packs of variant cover sets or premium limited editions and metal covers for Dynamite’s series can be added.

I loved this comic as a child. In hindsight I was waaaaaaay too young to be reading it.

Happy birthday to Dan Vado!

So I found something I've been looking for, for well, ages! And it's this comic by the talented Landry Q Walker and the late Eric Jones. The creators of my most favorite comic ever Little Gloomy, which of course has inspired not only my work but my actual fashion style as well lol.

But today I'm not sharing anything to do with Little Gloomy, I'm sharing my most favorite story from the comic Kid Gravity, a comic that was specifically created for Disney Adventures and their Comic Zone books. The comic is a very good comic about these kids that go to school in space! Yup, pretty cool eh? I have no idea why there isn't any real talk about this gem of a comic, but hey, I guess I'll be the first to bring it up again.

The story I loved the most was this one:

The story is called "The Breakfast Of Champions" and let me tell you, when I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with this exact story! I remember that I actually ate breakfast when re-reading this story one morning, just because I wanted to be immersed in the story!

So normally I don't like sharing full pages of comics on here, but because it's pretty hard to find this comic on the Internet, I'll just let it slide and just share this exact story only. Definitely check the whole comic out, you can buy it online as a paperback book on Amazon to support the talented artists who worked on this comic.

Alright, let's get into the story! It follows Kid Gravity going up against the evil Doctor Omelet who wants to scramble all of a town called "Waffleopolis" on the planet "Breakfast Alpha 1"

As you can see the planet looks kinda like a cinnamon roll, we meet our villain about to harm poor Miss Egg, who's absolutely scared. But fear not, our hero is here to save the day! Also, let's just take a moment to admire the artwork as well as the colors! They definitely took a lot of time to make this story and I appreciate the details they do with their comics! Moving on...

Sadly Kid Gravity gets caught in some magnetic bacon and Doctor Omelet pushes poor Miss Egg off the side of the waffle building! But this bacon isn't strong enough to hold our hero!

After he saves Miss Egg he manages to destroy Doctor Omelet's scrambler from scrambling the rest of the citizens of Waffleopolis. But not without some more obstacles...

Now I won't lie, for some reason, this was my most favorite page in this story when I was a kid, I really liked the two sidekicks Bagel and Danish, as well as the shading they did on the back of Doctor Omelet. I forgot to mention that I even made fan art of these breakfast people when I was little 😅... Anyway let's see what happens next!

Oh, it was all a dream? Oh well, you can't win them all Kid Gravity. Anyway that was my appreciation blog post about a long forgotten comic series Kid Gravity! One of my personal favorite comics from my childhood. Landry Q Walker and Eric Jones were two of my biggest inspirations when becoming an artist and comic creator, (I also have to thank Dan DeCarlo and just Archie Comics in general for my inspiration as well.) they both inspired me to create goth and alt characters for my work as well as create weird and crazy comics that make you go "ok..."

I'm pretty happy that I got to share this with y'all, I'm hoping to occasionally bring their work up in future posts, because their work is underrated, especially Little Gloomy and Kid Gravity. Those are absolute gems of comics and I hope I can get some kind of hype for them. Anyway take care y'all. - ❤️ WLHcomics AKA QueenPhantom11

Gargoyles Needs Our Help!

There is currently a Kickstarter for reprints of the Marvel and SLG comics (as well as some other goodies), and though it has blown its target goal out of the water, we need to send a strong message to Disney that people love this property and want to see more of it.

To help, we need to run up the backer numbers on the KS! If you were on the fence about backing, consider getting the TPs, or if you don't want anything, consider backing without a reward. You can donate $1 and it would still count towards the number of backers!

Don't wait, don't sit on the sidelines and hope these get published later. If you can afford it, please vote with your wallet and back the KS. Let's tell Disney loud and clear that Gargoyles is still a viable property!

We are back! We discuss the current Kickstarter Campaign Dynamite Comics is running to bring back the Gargoyles comics published by Marvel in the 90’s (featuring art by Amanda Conner!) and the canon Gargoyles comics published by SLG in the aughts; and we’re joined by Gargoyles’ colorist, Robby Bevard; Bad Guys artist, Karine Charlebois; and series creator, Greg Weisman!!!

Spread the word! Participate in the Kickstarter! Figure out which version of the books works best for you! And let’s show Disney that this is a viable property! Not just a little property with a small cult following, but something truly viable! So spread the word! Reach out to anyone you know who would be interested! Tell them about this Kickstarter! Tell them about the comics! And tell them about our podcast!

We then give our First Impressions on Gargoyles #11 and Dark Ages #5! It’s the penultimate issues for both series before Gargoyles Quest kicks off in the coming weeks! Comic book spoiler talk begins at 25:21 and ends at 49:38.

Finally, Greg Weisman delivers his State of the Franchise Address! Where we’ve been, what we’ve accomplished, and what we have to look forward to for the 30th Anniversary! More comics! A convention get-together and maybe even more than that!
