SVENGOOLIE HEADS TO THE DC UNIVERSE THIS OCTOBER
DC Comics and MeTV have a quirky crossover in mind this December with Svengoolie Meets the DC Universe in a series of custom inserts in DC comic books on sale through October. Each two-page chapter is written by DC Publisher Dan DiDio with help from Svengoolie himself and illustrated by Chris Jones.
On the run from (what else?) an army of homicidal rubber chickens, Svengoolie gets some unexpected help from Wonder Woman and John Stewart, who urge him to get to the Hall of Justice. But before he can make it to safety, he has to survive a showdown against the one responsible for these perilous pullets, The Joker!
“This is a dream come true for someone who’s been a life-long fan of DC super-heroes since I first got into comics as a kid,” says Koz. “I couldn’t be prouder to have Svengoolie standing side by side with these iconic characters. I definitely identify with them, too; after all, I have to put on my costume before I can do my job, too!”
“I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi and horror movies and I grew up with Svengoolie,” said DiDio. As a fan and a publisher, I never thought I’d have a chance to have Svengoolie in our books, let alone write the story. This is a fantastic opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited.”
If you're attending New York Comic Con, you'll get a chance to learn more about this comic and celebrate Svengoolie's 40th anniversary during a special tribute panel hosted by Dan DiDio on Friday, October 4th from 2:45 – 3:45 PM ET at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, Room 1A24.
