Gregory and the Gargoyles #3

Gregory and the Gargoyles was a short-lived comic book series published by Epic Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics, during the late 1980s. The series was designed to appeal to younger readers through a blend of fantasy and adventure, chronicling the journey of a young boy named Gregory who discovers a portal to a hidden world inhabited by gargoyles. This third issue continues the established narrative arc, maintaining the whimsical, slightly dark aesthetic typical of the mid-80s independent comic scene.

The creative direction for the series relied on the distinct illustrative styles popular in the Marvel editorial offices of the era. The creators aimed to capture a sense of wonder, utilizing colorful panels that contrasted sharply with the gothic nature of the titular creatures. While the series did not achieve long-term mainstream dominance, it is remembered by collectors as a notable example of the creative experimentation encouraged by the Epic Comics imprint during its peak period of autonomy.
