Gorilla Comics was anAmerican comic bookimprint launched in 2000[1] by creatorsKurt Busiek,Tom Grummett,Stuart Immonen,Karl Kesel,Barry Kitson,George Pérez,Mark Waid, andMike Wieringo.[2] Characters were creator-owned, and books were published throughImage Comics.
The founders intended to finance the company through a comics-themed website, eHero.com, which proved unsuccessful.[3] This left creators financing their own books, and only a handful of issues saw print.[4] OnlyShockrockets andTellos completed their initial storylines. The last Gorilla Comics book,Superstar, consisted of a single issue printed in 2001.
Shockrockets was later reprinted in paperback byDark Horse Comics in August 2004. It was reprinted byIDW Publishing as a hardcover in November 2010. FurtherTellos stories were self-published directly throughImage Comics.Empire was later completed as a mini-series atDC Comics and released as a paperback in June 2004.Superstar was released by IDW Publishing in April 2011.
In 2012, Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett relaunchedSection Zero as a webcomic on the Mad Genius Comics website.[5][6] The previously published stories were posted on the site and new material was added.[7]
Kesel and Grummett launched aKickstarter project[8] in May 2017 to publishSection Zero as a standalone graphic novel. Two pledge levels include mini-prints ofSection Zero members by George Pérez, Stuart Immonen, Barry Kitson, Mike Wieringo and Tom Grummett, all inked by Karl Kesel. A poster of the "Women of Section Zero" by Adam Hughes, in the style of the "Women of DC" print, was also planned to be made. The project was successfully funded, and the book premiered at the Baltimore Comic Con 2018 in September.
