Cool Guy (comics)

Cool Guy has appeared in a range of comic books that have been published by various companies over the years.
== Cool Guy Goes to Las Vegas (1996) ==
The first comic based on the character was a one-shot adaptation of the 1996 feature film Cool Guy Goes to Las Vegas, published by DC Comics and drawn by Patricia Mulvihill. Although sole credit was given to creator and director Carl Andy Jr., it was mainly ghostwritten by Terrance Griep, Jr., basing it from the film's script. Due to legal issues between Warner Bros. Discovery (the current owner of DC and Cartoon Network) and Universal Pictures (the owner of the film itself) it has not seen a reprint since.
== IDW series (2009-20) ==
In 2008, IDW Publishing obtained the rights for the license to Cool Guy. Unlike the Movie's comic adaptation, Andy Jr. was directly involved in writing the series, basing more off the original shorts and 2000s video games. Some characters from the games like Burn E. Blazer and Donnie Calzoney became recurring antagonists in the series, often times working together. The apptly titled "Cool Guy" ran for 10 issues between May 2009 to February 2010, with Issue 1 parodying Captain America Comics #1's cover with Cool punchin Osama Bin Laden, although no such thing happens in the issue.
An 8 issue miniseries, titled Cool Guy Meets Quincy ran from October 2010 to June 2011, crossing him over with Ryotaro Sekizawa's Quincy franchise. (under license from BOOM! Studios) The success of that miniseries prompted IDW to make Cool Guy and Tobio: Partners in Crime, published from February 2012 to December 2012, a crossover with Osamu Tezuka's The Ballad of Tobio.
