Stargate comics are a series of
comic books based on the 1994 science-fiction film
of the same name, and the TV series
Stargate SG-1 (1997–2006) and the spin-off
Stargate Atlantis (2004–2009). The initial comics were
tie-ins with the
film and the later output by
Avatar Press has been based on the two TV series.
A series of Stargate film-related comics were published by the independent publishing house Entity Comics between 1996 and 1997, under the creative direction of John Migliore and Bill Maus. Along with a four-part comic book adaptation of the Stargate motion picture and three-part adaption of Bill McCay's StarGate: Rebellion, Entity Comics also wrote their own continuation of the Stargate film. StarGate: One Nation Under Ra and StarGate: Underworld were later published as a trade paperback titled StarGate: The New Adventures Collection.
Since 2003 the franchise has passed to Avatar Press. There has been no official word as to whether or not the comics are canon.
All series, including preview and special issues, feature several different, alternate limited edition covers for each issue. These usually include painted covers (featuring artists like Lucio Rubira and Ryan Drake), photo covers, wraparound covers, gold, platinum or blue foil covers, leather covers, and glow-in-the-dark covers. Preview and special issues also get special covers usually available only at comic conventions alongside the Convention Special comics.
Dynamite Entertainment announced in 2009 that they had acquired the license for the comic books based on the Stargate television franchise. [1]
Based on the Stargate SG-1 television show, these are a collection of successive limited series, each featuring a story by James Anthony and art by Jorge Correa.
In 2010 the franchise's publisher changed to Dynamite and they published two Stargate miniseries. These series have the distinction of being the only Stargate SG-1 comic series to leave off the "SG-1" and are simply titled "Stargate."
