Introduction
This rare original pen and ink artwork by Adrian Gonzales comes from the 1984 comic book adaptation of Gremlins, produced by Western Publishing. Known for his dynamic compositions and expressive character work, Gonzales brought the chaotic spirit of the film to life on the comic page, translating the mischievous antics of the Gremlins into bold, black-and-white illustrations. The adaptation was part of the broader wave of merchandising and tie-in media that surrounded the release of the film, making these pages a unique piece of both comic book and movie history. The oversized page was created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 15.5" x 20"
This original comic art page vividly captures one of the film’s most infamous scenes — the dramatic death of Mrs. Deagle. In stark black-and-white pen and ink, the sequence shows the Gremlins sabotaging her stair lift, sending her hurtling through a window to her doom as they cackle with glee. Gonzales’ expressive linework heightens both the terror and the dark humor of the moment, perfectly translating the chaos of the movie into comic form.
