The Hanna-Barbera classic characters The Blue Falcon & Dynomutt debut a new comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment. Secure in their life of luxury in a penthouse high above the streets of Big City, wealthy inventor and art collector Radley Crown and his faithful canine companion have enjoyed a charmed existence. That all changes one fateful day when a vicious gang shatters their complacency. From this tragedy will rise two of the most impressive and vigilant superheroes. In the aftermath, Crown puts to work his inimitable technical abilities to rebuild himself and his four-legged friend into unrivaled instruments of retribution — The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder!
Growing up on the cartoon, writer Jimmy Palmiotti has always held onto memories of this iconic duo. The prolific Harley Quinn, Jonah Hex scribe, is joined by powerhouse penciler Pasquale Qualano (Dejah Thoris, DC vs. Vampires) for a modern take on this crime-fighting duo. Big City’s beloved protectors are back for a dark tale of justice and revenge set to thrill readers.
“This is not the origin of Blue Falcon, but a story about a man and his dog and their connection throughout a major event in both their lives,” said writer Jimmy Palmiotti. “Number one for me in writing this series is that it has to be fun — well, my version of fun anyway. I will say that some of it is much darker than people might remember, but it makes sense to the characters. I updated the world around them a bit for sure.”
To portray Big City’s blue-fitted hero and his man’s best friend turned criminal’s worst enemy, a super squad of top cover artists contribute variant covers to the series. These include Lucio Parrillo, Joseph Michael Linsner, Francesco Mattina, and Jimmy’s partner in life and frequent partner in comics Amanda Conner.
THE BLUE FALCON & DYNOMUTT #1 is slated for release in September 2025
