About Us
PALMAGICK ENTERTAINMENT INC.We touch the magic.
We’ll let you in on a secret: although head-turning imagery
and special effects raise production value to a higher level,
they will only work if they are built on a good concept.
The magic is in the story.
When an idea translates into a compelling story with
which audiences can relate…when it causes them to
identify with the characters and situations in it…
when it makes an emotional connection by
showing them an experience they’ve had
or an experience they’d like to have…
Magic happens.
We at Palmagick strive to do just that. We stretch our imagination and push storytelling far beyond its comfort zone to develop and adapt comics, novels, and screenplays to online graphic novels, animated works, video games, and mobile content that hold the audience’s mind and heart in magical hands.
And yes, we also conjure up production values that can turn reality on its head. Visual stunners. Treats to the senses.
To tell a story. To touch the magic.
Our Roots
Palmagick Entertainment, Inc. was founded in 2005 by Gil De Palma following the successful launching of his super hero pack TAEKWONDOGGS under his comics company Camp Comics.
At Camp Comics, Mr. De Palma created innovative titles like The Last of the Eye-Eaters, Needles, and Roku which would later become the award-winning “Moon Dragon” in the Moondance International Film Festival in Hollywood.
Now, Palmagick’s line-up of independent creative properties features dozens of original concepts and stories and over a hundred characters that he has brought into the company.

We are now finalizing the concept and gearing up for the development of the TaeKwonDoggs as a cross-platform action-adventure multiplayer game.
