“I literally can’t articulate how thrilled I am to be writing Gargoyles stories again, both for returning fans and newcomers,” said Greg Weisman. “It’s just a joy to be exploring a world populated by Goliath, the entire Manhattan Clan, all their friends, and every single one of their enemies. I’ve been wanting to get back to these characters for some time now and having this opportunity rocks! (Pun intended).”
“I still remember waking up all excited, flustered even, every Saturday and Sunday morning to catch the next episodes,” said artist George Kambadais. “I just loved them. Goliath was the coolest dude and the rest of the clan were SO… MUCH… FUN.”
“Gargoyles was a huge influence on me,” shared editor Nate Cosby. “It’s incredible that I get to help tell new stories about these characters that I love, written by the person that created them. Maintaining Greg’s vision of this world is a responsibility and an honor that I take seriously. New readers and longtime fans are going to be absolutely thrilled by what Greg, George and Jeff have in store.”
Gargoyles: Here in Manhattan can be purchased as a trade paperback, a hardcover, and a hardcover signed by Greg Weisman.
