I remember getting up very early to watch Hanna Barbera's World of Super-Adventure when I was a kid. I was a little frustrated that they showed The Fantastic Four in the opening credits, but those cartoons never seemed to air. The was okay though, because The Herculoids appeared regularly and I would really dig their adventures. They even also had a big rock guy! I recently watched some episodes and was surprised how simple it was with lots of repeated footage and sound effects. Still, the cast of characters is very appealing, effectively meshing Jungle action with science fiction. It's one of those cartoon properties that I would love to see given a modern treatment. Live action would be very difficult to pull off, but a new animated series would be great.

YES!!! I LOVE the Herculoids. This has become my new favorite. You never cease to amaze me with these covers of yours.
Thanks, Randy, I'm glad you like it.
Must admit a certain affection for the Herculoids as well. Some neat designs in that case. I'm curious though, where did the Herculoid art come from? -Mea
Not sure, I found it with a Google search - I think it's fan art.
You know- this is getting me really excited for a Batman and Captain Action cover!
