Story by: Lee David Zlotoff & Tony Lee Art By: Will Sliney Cover By: Andie Tong
Price: $3.50

Welcome to the long-awaited return of MacGyver – co-written by his creator! When an old friend calls for help, Mac becomes involved in a web of industrial espionage, murder and a white-knuckle pursuit across the globe with a million dollar hit on his head! Can he live long enough to save the world – or has his luck finally run out?

MacGyver returns in first new story in twenty years!

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Brett

He can save the day with nothing more than a paperclip and a chocolate bar, but how will he fare with ink and staples? Yes, MacGyver is back —in a fast-paced comic book mini-series co-written by his creator, Lee David Zlotoff and published by Image Comics. The first MacGyver story since the television show ended in 1992 kicks off on October 10 with the first issue of MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet.

The series, co-written by Tony Lee and drawn by Will Sliney, with covers by Andie Tong, picks up Mac’s story as he gets tangled in a web of industrial espionage and murder. On the run across the globe, Mac has to escape his pursuers—which won’t be easy with a million-dollar bounty on his head!

The more he thought about the medium of comics, the more the idea appealed to him, Zlotoff explained. “In the last decade or so, the graphic novel and comics arena has simply exploded in terms of both the kinds of stories that are being told and the range of artistic styles now being explored. So as I considered the constant call from fans around the world to bring MacGyver back, it struck me that the simplicity and directness of comics might be the perfect place to start.”

The result? A five-issue mini-series that ups the ante for the eponymous hero, taking him to far-off places and embroiling him in trouble that only MacGyver could escape.

In addition to a story full of thrills and twists, MacGyver will contain the history of the television show’s creation in the issues’ backmatter, written by MacGyver creator Lee David Zlotoff.

MacGyver: Fugitive Gauntlet #1 (AUG120462) will be in stores on October 10 and is available for pre-order now.
