This page contains a list of all Gargoyles episodes. Note that, here, "episodes" is taken to mean all episodic stories set within the Gargoyles Universe, whether they are televised or released in another format, such as comic book issues.

Canon stories

The following episodes are part of the show's canon, according to creator Greg Weisman. These include the original sixty-five televised episodes of the series (produced by Disney under the name Gargoyles), eighteen comic book & spin-off issues from Slave Labor Graphics and new comic book issues from Dynamite Entertainment.

Season 1 episodes

The first series, comprising thirteen episodes, serves as an introduction to the Gargoyles Universe. After their clan is massacred in 10th Century Scotland, six gargoyles, led by Goliath, are frozen in stone for one thousand years and awakened again in Manhattan in 1994. During the season, they come to terms with their new surroundings, establish themselves as a new Manhattan Clan of gargoyles, and establish Manhattan as their new protectorate.

Season 2 episodes

Fifty-two new episodes were produced for the show's second season, and the creators took on the job of expanding the Gargoyles Universe. Many new characters were introduced, both allies and antagonists of the Manhattan Clan, as well as many new locations (much of the latter half of the season was occupied with the Avalon World Tour, taking a handful of characters to every corner of the globe). Even more so than the first season, this season relied heavily on strong continuity, and many characters were drastically changed by its finale. Additionally, all episodes started off with a Previously on Gargoyles which was used beforehand with Parts Two-Five of "Awakening" and "Enter Macbeth".

Release Vs. Reading Order

It is not always the case that a comic's release date is in sync with the series' continuity. In 2024, Greg Weisman posted a canonical, storytelling reading order for the SLG and Dynamite comics, which can be expanded below. [2]

Additional

"Once Upon A Time There Were Three Brothers..."

This was a piece of fiction written by Greg Weisman as something of a lead-in to the Dark Ages spin-off. It is not canon, though many elements of it have found their way into the canon over time.

"City of Stone" Short Story

A bit of prose fiction written by Greg Weisman to further demonstrate how the general public likely reacted on the first night and day following Demona's Stone By Night Spell. It is not canon, though various elements in the story are canon-in-training.

"The Last"

A Gargoyles cross-over episode was planned for the series Team Atlantis, written by Greg Weisman and featuring several of the series' original voice cast. With the cancellation of Team Atlantis, it never fully materialized. Large parts of it are not canon, as certain details contradict elements of one or the other Universe. However, parts of it have and will continue to end up in future canon. For instance, Fiona Canmore first appeared in "The Last", but did not become canon until "Losers".

"Hyppolyta"

This was a piece of fiction written by Greg Weisman, in which Goliath began telling Elisa about one of his rookery sisters. The story is non-canon, but elements of it might some day end up canonical.

Apocrypha stories

The following stories are not a part of Gargoyles canon. In many cases they were produced with little input from the production staff behind the original series.

Disney Adventures stories

A number of short comics featuring the cast of Gargoyles were published in Disney's digest-sized magazine, Disney Adventures.

  1. "A Study in Stone"
  2. "Stone Cold"
  3. "Take the A Train"
  4. "Cyber Hunt"
  5. "All Hallows' Eve"
  6. "Lost in the Fun House"
  7. "All in a Night's Work"
  8. "The Experts"
  9. "Lines of Allegiance"

Marvel Comic issues

A Gargoyles comic book was published by Marvel Comics during the original run of the series. Eleven issues were produced.

  1. "Fiends In High Places"
  2. "Always Darkest Before Dawn"
  3. "Rude Awakening"
  4. "Blood From A Stone"
  5. "Venus In Stone"
  6. "Venus Rising"
  7. "The Pack Attacks"
  8. "Terror In Times Square"
  9. "The Egg And I"
  10. "Out of the Past"
  11. "Into the Future"

TV Guide story

The Halloween 1996 issue contained a three page story titled "Be Afraid of the Dark".

The Goliath Chronicles episodes

Immediately following the original cancellation of the series Gargoyles on Disney, it was picked up for a continuation on ABC and rebranded as The Goliath Chronicles. Much of the production staff was changed, although Greg Weisman did pen the first episode (which was later adapted into the first two issues of the SLG comic). The episodes were marked by a weaker continuity, poorly developed characters (both for new additions and old cast members), and an over-emphasis on providing the series with closure. Thirteen episodes were aired, from 1996 to 1997.

  1. "The Journey"
  2. "Ransom"
  3. "Runaways"
  4. "Broadway Goes to Hollywood"
  5. "A Bronx Tail"
  6. "The Dying of the Light"
  7. "And Justice For All"
  8. "Genesis Undone"
  9. "Generations"
  10. "...For It May Come True"
  11. "To Serve Mankind"
  12. "Seeing Isn't Believing"
  13. "Angels in the Night"

Gargoyles Meets the Fantastic Four

Fantastic Four/Gargoyles is a collaboration between Marvel Comics and Dynamite Entertainment crossing over Gargoyles with Marvel's First Family: the Fantastic Four. One was published by Marvel and a second will published by Dynamite. They are both in continuity with each other. Although listed under Apocrypha, these issues are written by Greg Weisman. [3]

  1. "Send Up a Flare!"
  2. "Both Alike In Dignity..."
  3. "Clan and Family..."

Gargoyles Meets Darkwing Duck

Gargoyles meets Darkwing Duck is a collaboration between Greg Weisman and Tad Stones crossing over Gargoyles with the terror that flaps in the night, the studio exec who stalled Season Two: Volume Two for eight years – Darkwing Duck! It is a four-issue miniseries and is not on continuity with the main Gargoyles Universe. Although listed under Apocrypha, the series is written by Greg Weisman.

  1. "Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck" #1
  2. "Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck" #2

Radio Plays

A series of unofficial and non-canonical Radio Plays written by Greg Weisman for various fan conventions that star various members of each show's cast as well as fans. Again, although they were written by Greg Weisman, the Radio Plays are intended to be just "a bit of fun" and are therefore non-canonical (though elements of it might end up in future Gargoyles canon). [4][5][6]

  1. "Religious Studies 101: A Handful of Thorns"
  2. "Recruits"
  3. "The Cosmos"
  4. "Musicology 101: Songs of the Theme"
  5. "Gargoyles 2024: The Movie"
