The Herculoids by Tom Sniegoski and Craig Rousseau will launch in February 2025 from Dynamite Entertainment, with covers by Mike Mignola, Bjorn Barends, Dan Panosian, Francesco Mattina, and Joseph Michael Linsner as part of their Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products IP deal.
« Somewhere out in space live The Herculoids! Inspired by the beloved Hanna-Barbera animated cartoon series, it is a unique blend of science fiction and fantasy, taking the idea of a « space barbarian » family and pairing them with a colorful cast of giant pet « Herculoids. » The crew is composed of father and leader Zandor, his wife Tara, and son Dorno team up with Zok the laser-shooting dragon, Igoo the rock ape, Tundro the rhinoceros, and the shape-shifting Gloop and Gleep. They all team up to protect their planet from sinister invaders just as wondrous and mysterious as them! The legendary planet of Amzot sits in the far reaches of deepest, darkest space. It’s a planet of extreme riches, but those who seek it out are routinely struck by untold disaster and terrible fates. Anyone who manages to survive to tell the tale speaks of horrific, imposing guardian monsters that protect it. Yet raiders and explorers continue coming, only to meet the Herculoids again and again! Writer Tom Sniegoski has been itching to write these characters he has loved since childhood. He’s known for his fan-favorite contributions to titles like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hellboy, Bone, Star Trek, and as the most prolific contributor to Dynamite’s own Vampirella mythos. He’s joined on Herculoids by his Young Hellboy collaborator Craig Rousseau, also beloved for his work on Batman Beyond, Impulse, and The Perhapanauts. »
« 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 writer Tom 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. » Artist Craig 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. »
Herculoids #1 will be published in February 2025.

Normal, le dessin animé est resté inédit chez nous…
Je les ai découverts au moment de la rédaction du Dico des Super-Héros.

Building on the success of the critically acclaimed and bestselling Space Ghost series, Dynamite Entertainment is proud to bring another beloved Hanna-Barbera classic to readers this February - The Herculoids!
Hidden in the furthest reaches of space, the planet of Amzot is legendary for its fabled riches - and for the terrible fates that befall anybody who seeks to exploit them…
Those who survive their encounters tell blood-chilling tales of horrific, imposing monsters that guard the mysterious world - yet the lure of its abundant resources is too great to resist. Raiders and pirates continue to come from across the galaxy, and there is only one force strong enough to stop their constant attacks - The Herculoids!
But as strong as these defenders are, a recent battle may have pushed Amzot to its limits - and awakened a sleeping darkness within the planet itself!
