Mel Romans lives for comics and wants to be a comic book artist, and "Gargoyle: Champion of the Universe" is his biggest obsession. Gargoyle and his enemies are more than just sketches to Mel. In fact, sometimes he thinks the hero is his only friend.
So when the comic's creator, Ambrose Armstrong, is locked away for believing his characters - the evil Fiddler, the Firebug and Miss Hiss - have come to life and escaped, Mel has a hunch he's not as crazy as everyone says. Mel sets out to find the truth about these living toons. But can he handle the fiends in the flesh?
