About the series
In 1985, Marvel introduced a four-issue series that blended urban fantasy with a touch of the macabre, following a mysterious, stone-skinned protector navigating a world that fears and misunderstands him. Written by J. M. DeMatteis with evocative, moody art by Mark Badger, Gargoyle stands as a thoughtful, character-driven exploration of loneliness and heroism from a creator known for his introspective storytelling. Though brief, this miniseries remains a distinctive, offbeat gem from Marvel's mid-80s output, showcasing the publisher's willingness to experiment with darker, more personal narratives beyond its mainstream superhero fare.
