Yes, it was corny and the dialogue lacked any real sophistication. But the characters, action and sheer excitement element kept me coming back for more.
Master cartoonist and illustrator Alex Toth designed the characters for the show and Hanna Barbera Studios successfully translated his designs to the small screen.
Space Ghost and his teenage sidekicks: Jan and Jace and their pert monkey Blip, patrol the galaxy to safeguard it from alien criminals.
And what a rogue’s gallery of bad guys Space Ghost had! Zoraak, Lurker, Metallus and a score of criminals that kept Space Ghost busy and that’s not including the other alien threats that came along.
Writer Mark Evanier and co-writer and artist Steve Rude teamed up for a Space Ghost One-Shot published by Comico back in 1987.
In a thrilling tale where Zoraak is freed from prison by a hooded benefactor who gives him the ability (along with Space Ghost’s other adversaries) to take down Space Ghost once and for all.
The ultimate question is-how do you defeat yourself?
Evanier and Rude really capture the look and feel of the animated series. I felt as if I was reading a 2D version of the TV show.
How can you go wrong when ALL of Space Ghost’s enemies team up together to defeat him? It’s a lot of fun to read and look at. Space Ghost fans are sure to love it.
