Gregory and the Gargoyles #1

Gregory and the Gargoyles #1 was published by Hot Comics in 1990 as part of a short-lived fantasy series centered on a young boy who travels through a portal to a world inhabited by gargoyles. The title was created during an era of independent comic expansion, aiming to capture the market's interest in imaginative, youth-oriented fantasy adventures outside of the established superhero duopoly.

The series is noted for its distinct aesthetic, which leaned into the whimsical yet dark illustrative tropes prevalent in late 1980s and early 1990s indie comics. While it never achieved mainstream commercial dominance, the title remains a recognizable piece of archival interest for collectors of the period, serving as a modest example of the experimental storytelling and diverse character concepts that defined the independent scene of that decade.
