August 10, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite is bringing the holiday fun this October with Disney's Gargoyles Halloween Special! It's a can't miss celebration of the season and an essential part of the ongoing Gargoyles canon.
Franchise creator and longtime shepherd across multimedia, Greg Weisman, writes the story of course! For this special release, he's joined by artist Bonesso Diego and letterer Jeff Eckleberry.
"It's the scariest night of the year, but that doesn't scare Gnash, as he heads out for his first Halloween in Manhattan," said writer Greg Weisman. "With candy, new friends... and all measure of monsters waiting in the shadows, Gnash is in for a classic Gargoyles Halloween adventure."
It's the first Halloween in the city that never sleeps for the youngest member of the Manhattan Clan, Nashville a.k.a. Gnash. His mother Katana doesn't quite get the point of trick-or-treating, but his father Brooklyn understands that it's the one night a year when Gnash can safely roam the city, since humans will believe he's simply a guy in a costume.
At least, it should be a safe night! Gnash will run afoul of the masked Quarrymen, out hunting Gargoyles on All Hallow's Eve, having set their sights on the entire Manhattan Clan!
With an October 18th release ahead of the holiday, this packed 40-page special with an extra-length 28-page main story will get fans excited to Gargoyle it up themselves on the 31st.
The Halloween Special features three remarkable covers for fans to choose from or collect them all. Matteo Lolli and Rebeca Puebla contribute, and lastly one by international superstar and Gargoyles mainstay Mirka Andolfo.
GARGOYLES HALLOWEEN SPECIAL is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ August 2023 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in October 2023. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the issue with their local comic book retailers. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!
