Hanna barbera was king of the Saturday morning cartoon industry during that time they even produced the fantastic four cartoon series in 1967 . The herculoids was their version of the fantastic four.

@sergioandrade8735 14 күн бұрын

In the 1960's there was a Gold Key comic which featured facts about Space Ghost which were left out of the series. Space Ghost was given a mentor that he communicated with by telepathy that came from "the anti-galaxy" the format resembled Chandu the Magician a popular radio show of the 1930's and 40's. Like Space Ghost Chandu had boy and girl twin teenage sidekicks. The mentor that communicated telepathically was used in the early version of Dr. Strange.

@sergioandrade8735 14 күн бұрын

One explanation, in the 1960's novels and comics based on TV and movies were written months before the series would by on air or in theaters often using early drafts of scripts, sometimes parts that did not make the final cut would be in the book or comics that had been cut.

I liked what they did with it, from what I saw. The Dynamite Comics version looks good, too. You can tell they're fans and wanted to do it justice, unlike most comic companies these days. Looks good!

Definitely ready for this comic! It’s in my read pile from this week. As a child of the eighties, I can remember catching reruns of the original Space Ghost, Jonny Quest and Thundarr before the regular Saturday morning cartoons started. And then a few years later catching random episodes on USA Cartoon Express and then Cartoon Network. I agree that Coast to Coast did a real disservice to the character. I haven’t fully read the DC miniseries yet, but randomly find an issue here and there, so will eventually have tho whole thing to read in a sitting.
