Dynamite has been on a roll with their new line of Comics, whether it be Gargoyles, Thunder Cats, or even the Phantom of Spaceways, Space Ghost. Speaking of Space Ghost, the first issue was a huge success according to the comic publisher, and the second issue is looking to bring even more suspense and mystery in this new preview.
Our three young heroes, Jan, Jace, and Blip found themselves traveling across the stars in an unexpectant trip on the Phantom Cruiser in the upcoming second issue, Writer David Pepose, artist Jonathan Lau, colorist Andrew Dalhouse, and letterer Taylor Esposito are giving readers a glimpse of this mysterious hero’s headquarters, The Ghost Planet.
Space Ghost first began as an animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera, which featured character designs by legendary artist Alex Toth (Super Friends, Fantastic Four, Sealab 2020). The series would run for 20 episodes and become a huge hit, thanks to countless reruns. The character would make his return between the late 90s, and early 00s in a new satirical take on the Superhero in a talk show, called Space Ghost: Coast-to-Coast, and several other comedy spin-offs. As for comics, publisher Gold Key’s Hanna-Barbera-based titles of the day. A one-shot from Comico in 1987 written by Mark Evanier with art from Steve Rude, unfortunately, no follow-ups were published. With his rise in popularity in the 90s (thanks again to Space Ghost Coast-To-Coast), he would make appearances in Archie Comics’ line of Cartoon Network-based titles. Years later, DC then tried its hand at a short-lived Space Ghost title in 2005. And finally, in the mid-2010s, Space Ghost appeared in Future Quest, one of the flagship titles of DC’s now-defunct Hanna-Barbera line.
Space Ghost was one of the titles announced by Dynamite Entertainment in a new licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, confirming that the Comic Book Publisher has the license to publish both Disney animated titles and now their competitor Warner Bros. Discovery, even though both Disney and Warner Bros own their own Comic Book Publishing Companies. Listed below are new covers and six preview pages. The second issue goes on sale on June 5, 2024.
“…They call it the Ghost Planet now.”
Jan, Jace, Blip and Space Ghost travel to the Ghost Planet, the mysterious headquarters of the even more mysterious Space Ghost. Leaving on an urgent mission, Space Ghost give explicit orders to: STAY. PUT. What could go wrong? Also featuring an unexpected flight of the Phantom Cruiser!
