Nightwatch is the first issue of the Gargoyles comic by SLG, and Chapter One of the Clan-Building story arc.
- Writer/Creator: Greg Weisman
- Pencil Artist: David Hedgecock
- Color Artist: Will Terrell
- Art Director/Cover Pencil Artist: Greg Guler
- Cover Color Artist: Stephanie Lostimolo
Summary
Released from a medieval Scottish curse, the Gargoyles now live in the rooftops of Manhattan. But all is not safe for them— a mysterious organization called the Quarrymen are determined to see them all obliterated. The gargoyles must rely on each other and their human friends to turn the tide of public sentiment and show that they can live peacefully with humanity. Gargoyles is a FULL COLOR comic book series based on the Disney Afternoon animated television series. Written by series creator Greg Weisman.
Tidbits
While the comic follows the first half of "The Journey" closely, there are a few differences with the television episode, some due to re-incorporating rejected elements of Greg Weisman's original script, others due to new material specifically written for the comic. Among these are:
- The television episode began with a monologue by Goliath about the consequences of the clan being exposed; the comic begins with various New York citizens being interviewed about the gargoyles.
- Goliath's encounter with Art en route to Elisa's apartment.
- A brief conversation between Matt and Captain Chavez over the gargoyle issue.
- Goliath reminiscing over the past troubles of his clan (a specific invention of the comic to explain to people just being introduced to Gargoyles about the backstory) to Elisa.
Many familiar "bit characters" appear in this issue. The New York citizenry being interviewed on the first page include the Jogger, Billy and Susan's mother, and Vinnie (who recalls his pieing of Goliath in Vendettas). Vinnie and Billy and Susan's mother are both at Castaway's meeting. Art encounters Goliath when the latter is on his way to Elisa's apartment (with Lois having an off-stage role in this scene). Banquo and Fleance, formerly Macbeth's henchmen, are now working for Castaway (maybe in part to get revenge for their past encounters with the gargoyles in A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time and Pendragon?), another irony in light of his true identity and descent. And Travis Marshall discusses the gargoyle issue on the news.
According to Greg Weisman, the man in Japan who offered Vinnie a security job is Taro.
Greg has also mentioned that Castaway and Jon Canmore from Hunter's Moon are the same man, and there are two hints of this in Nightwatch. The first is his name, which fits the Canmores' pattern of aliases beginning with a hard C (Conover, Correy, Carter). The second is his Hunter's symbol (three red slashes) protruding beneath his Quarryman badge.
In Goliath's reminiscences, we see Hakon about to smash a stone gargoyle, and in the panel representing the gargoyles' various adversaries, Xanatos, Owen, Demona, Fox, and Macbeth.
