Where it came from
Gargoyle #2 was published in 1985 as part of a short-lived limited series from Marvel Comics. The character, Isaac Christians, was originally created by J.M. DeMatteis and Don Perlin for the pages of The Defenders, but this solo title sought to explore the character's internal struggle with his demonic form and his quest for spiritual redemption. The series was designed to fit into the darker, more introspective tone of Marvel's mid-eighties output.
The art and narrative approach for this issue were heavily influenced by the gothic sensibilities popular in horror-adjacent superhero comics of the era. Despite the creative team's efforts to establish a unique voice for the protagonist, the series did not gain long-term traction with readers and concluded after its initial four-issue run. It remains a minor curiosity among Marvel completionists interested in the secondary characters of the 1980s.
