PopKulture Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Drat!! I hope this doesn't mean now I won't be able to fill some of the holes in my Gold Key collection!! But, seriously, it should be interesting what properties they can resurrect successfully. Edited March 22, 2022 by PopKulture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerReader Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Good news! I hope they are able to release new series for Magnus, Turok, and Solar. Artifiction, Jayman, mysterymachine and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnando Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks for the article link! I love it that a comic book enthusiast bought Gold Key and wants to do cool things with it. Also love that he paid cash plus traded a TMNT #1 to get Gold Key. Sounds like a real comic book guy to me. ADAMANTIUM and s-dali 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether or not some of those original properties are still tied up with Valiant at present? Edited March 23, 2022 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No unfortunately last publisher that licensed the properties was Dynamite. Not sure when that license expired. It was through Valiant in the 90s that I was introduced to the characters.

Cat Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Considering the market, I'm wondering whether he'd have been better just going with a new name, and using the money spent on the name for other startup costs? MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Damutantman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I'm excited about the possibility of any new Gold Key comics; my favorite is Turok. With the buzz around the new Twilight Zone show, I can see that being a possible target as well. With how popular collected editions have become in recent years, I can see them surviving primarily on collected editions of the original material until they get something new rolling.

From the article, if he’s funding by selling off key comics, it does sound as if it’s being done on a shoestring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSeas Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 They talked about making the comics so they have the feel of the 60's. I wonder if the comics will be modern or silver age sized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Part of me wants to be excited for this, but it feels like one of those zombie IPs, like Toys R Us, that is technically “back” but really isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
