Gargoyles (1995)

In 1995, Marvel Comics issued a Gargoyles comic book series which ran for 11 issues. A 12th issue, to be entitled “The Day the Sun Kissed the Earth!!” was announced at the end of Issue 11, but never published. The books did not directly follow the continuity of the series, but they did reference specific events that took place within it. The Marvel series was tonally darker than the television series, dealing largely with Xanatos‘ experiments to create creatures and machines to defeat the Gargoyles. Greg Weisman, television series co-creator, did not have any direct involvement in the story development of the comic series, but was consulted on some plot points to be sure it stayed within certain boundaries.
