The Gantry Priceman Comics is a series of comics produced by Gantry Comics of the Hoenn Region, The first run of Priceman Comics ran from June 12, 2007 until April 13, 2010, and the current run began on August 9, 2016. Although the first run was an unlicensed product, it was considered one of the most complex Priceman canon out there for the time.


The Creation of Priceman Comics

As the first Priceman game was beginning to fly off the shelves, Gantry tried to apply for a licensing deal from POKERA; however, due to their reputation of releasing short lived and generally poor quality comics, Gantry was rejected for approval very quickly. This didn't stop Gantry from attempting to produce comics with Priceman's name on it. Though the game was released in February 2007 (a good repainting, but rushed product released as a result of POKERA severing their relationship with SEGA due to the reception of Sonic '06) and the cartoons were well on their way into production. (And both would be shown in March 2008.) Gantry started hiring writers left and right in order to get their unlicensed comics out while the game was still popular. A team of writers was assembled to produce stories that were to last half an issue each, Gantry anticipated a 6-comic run of the series.

  • Creselian (Pre-Reboot) -
  • Princess Raquar - (Known as Princess Rakaru during the unlicensed run)

  • Belbari Gelnamirus - (Has his whereabouts unknown as of the current run)
