BLUE FALCON & DYNOMUTT

MAN’S BEST FRIEND — AND CRIMINALS’ WORST ENEMY! Secure in their luxurious penthouse high above the downtown streets, wealthy inventor and art collector Radley Crown and his faithful canine companion enjoyed a charmed existence — until the fateful day a vicious gang of criminals shattered his complacency. In the aftermath of the vicious attack, Crown focused his incredible technical skills to rebuild both himself and his four-legged companion into the ultimate instruments of retribution: The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder! In this all-new take on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, legendary comics author JIMMY PALMIOTTI (Harley Quinn, The Invincible Red Sonja) and acclaimed artist PASQUALE QUALANO (Gargoyles: Quest) bring to life a dark tale of justice and revenge that reimagines Big City’s crimefighting duo for a new era!
