Dynamite Entertainment launches its latest Disney Villains comic this coming Wednesday as Beauty and the Beast’s Gaston takes centre stage in a new limited series from writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente and artist Milena Ciccarello; get yourself a sneak peek at Disney Villains: Gaston #1 with the official preview below…
At last – a series worthy of the name Gaston! The unfairly maligned antagonist of Beauty and the Beast will be the first to tell you that he’s the greatest tracker in the land, a fact that has been confirmed by his totally unbiased sidekick, LeFou – and who would know better than these two fine, upstanding citizens? So when a nobleman offers a sizable reward for the return of his runaway horse, Gaston pursues the escaping steed with a single-minded focus – directly into the king’s private hunting grounds! Arrested for trespassing, Gaston faces a long stay in the royal lock-up – except that his obviously superior abilities impress the King’s wily advisor, the Comte du Soufflé, who has a dangerous mission that only someone as unthinkingly brave as the great Gaston would ever contemplate taking on. If he succeeds, he’ll be free to go – but when he finds out what he’s up against, prison might seem like the safer bet!
Highly animated authors Greg Pak (Lilo & Stitch) and Fred Van Lente (Conan the Avenger) join forces with artiste extraordinaire Milena Ciccarello to finally bring readers the tale that they have surely been clamoring for with Disney Villains: Gaston – featuring appropriately adoring covers courtesy of Ciccarello, Lesley “Leirix” Li, Ted Brandt & Ro Stein, and Will Robson.
Disney Villains: Gaston #1 goes on sale on March 4th, priced $4.99.
