GARGOYLES: DEMONA Comic Preview Showcases Art by Legendary Animator Frank Paur
A few months ago it was announced that Dynamite Entertainment would be producing an exciting new comic book series with Gargoyles: Demona, which will explore the fascinating history of the infamous villain.
The series comes from the original creative team behind the Gargoyles animated series with creator Greg Wiesman and producer, director, and artist Frank Paur.
Today was have a first look at the interior art, which was created by Paur, who is a legend in the animation industry.
Not only has he worked on Gargoyles, he also worked on G.I. Joe, Superfriends, Batman: The Animated Series, X-Men: Evolution, Spawn: The Animated Series, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Invincible Iron Man, Hulk Vs., and more. This is his first time working as a comic book artist.
Gargoyles: Demona will explore “a history the show hinted at but never detailed. Fans will recall how Demona was spared from the spell that froze most of her clan as statues for over 1000 years, yet cursed with unaging immortality. This comic will detail her activities from 994 AD onward and the quest for revenge that turned her into one of the series’ most dynamic villains.”
The comic will also introduce a new character named Angelika, “Demona’s other daughter. Not possessing her mother’s immortality, the duo will clash as time goes by and Angelika outages her mother. By the series’ finale, fans will get to see how Angelika and Angela compare, as well as the tragedy of Demona’s life.’
The description for the comic reads: “For a thousand years, while the heroic Gargoyles slept, their nemesis Demona has been wide awake, scheming and plotting her revenge against humanity for destroying her kind.
“Although Goliath and his clan of Gargoyles will do everything they can to protect their adopted New York City, they are not prepared for the lengths to which Demona will go in order to enact her twisted plan for justice.
“Nor are they prepared for how large a part they themselves will play in carrying it out. The tale begins on Free Comic Book Day before continuing in a new monthly miniseries.”
Gargoyles: Demona #0 will launch on Free Comic Book Day 2025, which will be held on May 3, 2025. You can see some cover art below that was created by Meghan Hetrick.
