Tom Sniegoski and Craig Rousseau team up once again for a new comic book series based on the beloved Hanna-Barbera animated cartoon series The Herculoids this February.
A Saturday morning cartoon staple for decades, The Herculoids again consist of humans Zandor, Tara, and Dorno, and their friends Zok the laser-shooting dragon, Igoo the rock ape, Tundro the rhinoceros, and the shape-shifting Gloop and Gleep for the new Dynamite Series
“I can honestly say that getting the chance to write The Herculoids series for Dynamite is one of the highlights of my comics career,” said Sniegoski. “Having the opportunity to get into the minds of these characters has been a real challenge, but also incredibly fun. Who wouldn’t want to write a giant rock ape?! And equally exciting is seeing what artist Craig Rousseau is doing with my scripts. I think there are going to be some very pleased Herculoids fans out there when they see his art.”
Rousseau added, “The Herculoids is one of those dream gigs that comes along so rarely, I couldn’t jump fast enough to say ‘YES!’ to drawing Zandor, Tara, Dorno, Igoo, Tundro, Zok, Gleep and Gloop! I grew up with the cartoon and can’t wait to tell their continuing stores with one of my favorite creative partners, Tom Sniegoski.”
The creative team recently collaborated on Young Hellboy from Dark Horse Comics.
