Hey a quick question:
When did you do the last show of Gargoyles??
Is the show,,Angel of night,, the last show???
Please answer me quick!
Greg responds...
Well, I doubt this qualifies as quick. I did my last Gargoyles
"THE JOURNEY" in 1996. It originally aired in the fall of that year as
part of THE GOLIATH CHRONICLES. Angels of the Night was the last
episode of the Goliath Chronicles. It originally aired in 1997. But I
had nothing to do with it. The last episode of the original Gargoyles
series was "HUNTER'S MOON, Part Three" which aired in spring 1996.

Hi, Greg. Yes, it's me again.
A little question on the reproductive nature of gargoyles...curiosity
got the better of me...is inbreeding possible with gargoyles? *Grumbles as
someone from the chatroom makes a remark aobut her being the expert on
that one considering she's a redneck.*
Oh...and is Fang a cougar? I see a lot of similarities...
Greg responds...
1. It's possible, but the odds are against it.
2. Something like that.

1) Patrick StewartMacbeth and the Archmage from the first season,
and Oberon from the second season.
2) Since the full story about Katana's name would probably take 42
pages, I'm just going to ask if it was a name she had before she met Brooklyn
(i.e., from her clan or through human contact), or after (i.e., in the
context of their meeting, falling in love, adventuring together
through time).
3) Gargoyle eggs take ten years to hatch, unless I've forgotten my
canon. How would Brooklyn and Katana have cared for their eggs while voyaging
through time?
4) Related to the above question, how long was the average Brooklyn
stay in a given time period? i.e., Did he run the risk of appearing for a few
seconds before the Phoenix Gate snatches him again?
5) I don't think this is in the archives, so I have to ask: Why does
the Phoenix Gate continue to travel with Brooklyn, snatching him from time
to time and from place to place, and why does it cease after he's
returned to Castle Wyvern of the 20th century?
Greg responds...
1. Nope.
2. No comment.
3. With difficulty. Though I never said how long they were in
each place.
4. There aren't any rules as to length of stay. It's possible
that he might have danced in and out in a few seconds on occasion, but
it makes for lousy stories, so I wouldn't have done that often.
5. The Phoenix Gate is lossed in time. Brooklyn takes
advantage of it's comings and goings in the hopes that it will
eventually take him home. Once he gets home, he avoids it like the
plague.

If you don't want to answer this, that's fine. I understand.
Celebrities are always getting these requests. But is there anyway I can get a Gargs
pic signed by you?
Greg responds...
Come to the Gathering in NYC this summer. I'm hoping to be
there if the details can be worked out.

Hi Greg:
1. Who created the Phoenix Gate? ONe of Oberon's Children?
2. Would Patrick Stewart have played King Arthur? Macbeth? Oberon?
3. Would you ever have done a Romeo & Juliet type of episode?
Between what two charecters (ie who would be Romeo and who would be Juliet?)
4. Do you know who Tod mcFarlane is? If not he is the creator
if Spawn and Image comics. The reason I brought him up is that Marvel Comics, for
which he used to work, wanted to buy the rights to Spawn, but Tod wouldn't
let them because he knew they'd eventually mess it up. He was, at the
time. working on Venom and Marvel wanted to turn Venom into a good guy. So
between Marvel wanting to change Venom and rather than allow them to do the
same with Spawn Todd left Marvel and started Image, which is now far more
succesful than marvel (who is going bankrupt). I realize it is to
late now but you really should have tried something like this with Garoyles. I
also brought it up to say that if you want a comic company that might do a
great job with Gargoyles, that is if Disney gives them a chance, Image is a
good place to start. Todd would sympathise with your problem. would you
consider it?
Greg responds...
1. Not who.
2. No.
3. There was a definite Romeo and Juliet theme planned for New
Olympians.
4. I've met Tod, and I'm familiar with what you're describing,
but the situations are not parallel. You're comparing Gargoyles with
Spawn, but it would be more accurate to compare Gargoyles with Venom.
That is, Gargoyles are and always were owned by Disney. There was never
a moment when I could have gone off and done it on my own, because I
NEVER owned the property. Also, you should remember that for Tod (who
had some substantial money and reputation from his Marvel work) to go
off and publish his own comic was a very doable thing. He was a fan
favorite. And producing a comic book is a RELATIVELY inexpensive
proposition that requires a relatively small staff of people. By
comparison, no one had ever heard of me BEFORE Gargoyles, and still, few
know who I am now. In addition, producing an animated series is a
RELATIVELY costly proposition. Exponentially more expensive than
publishing a comic book. And the required staff is huge. And they'd
all need to be paid in advance to put food on their tables. The whole
thing is WAY beyond my resources, even today. Now I know, you think Tod
has done it with the SPAWN animated series. But that was AFTER Spawn
was already a huge success that made him a millionaire many times over.
I'm not saying he spent his own money on the show, but that money and
the prestige of the property gave him a lot of clout. Frankly, that's
clout I don't have.

Hey Greg, thanks for answering my questions:
1)I know you were planning to do some spin-offs, but how many and what
were they going to be called??
2)If Disney ever got it through their thick skulls that GARGOYLES is a
great show and decided to bring it back, they'd have to hire you and get you
to approve it or something like that, right??
3)Why didn't you work on any of the GOLIATH CHRONICLES episodes except
for THE JOURNEY??
4)What projects are you working on now??
5)If someone wanted to pick up one of you spin-off shows(like
TIMEDANCER, that's the only one I know you wanted to do), would you want them (who
ever they may be, Disney or not) to pick GARGOYLES as well??
Greg responds...
1) GARGOYLES, BAD GUYS, DARK AGES, FUTURE TENSE, THE NEW
OLYMPIANS, PENDRAGON, TIMEDANCER.
2) They wouldn't "have" to do anything, but I like to think
they'd come to me first.
3) I made a mistake. I felt I wasn't appreciated, and I felt I
wouldn't have been able to maintain the show's quality level. But I
still should have done it. I made a mistake.
4) It's too soon to talk about any of them.
5) Only Disney could do a gargoyles-related spin-off. They own
all the characters and concepts. They wouldn't have to do both. Any
one would be fun.

I have another question, sorry: I keep hearing people talk about
someone called Katana, who is she??
Greg responds...
In my head, she's Brooklyn's mate.

How long had Goliath been leader when the BIG event happened(you know,
1000 years ago)?? How long had Goliath be second-in-command when Hudson
appointed him leader??
Greg responds...
I haven't worked the Math in a long time. But Goliath had been
leader for ten years, since the events depicted in LONG WAY TO MORNING.
He became second in command during the run of DARK AGES.

Since when Goliath and Demona were in love?
Greg responds...
Since they were young, if I understand the question.
