I can hear all those Saturday morning cartoon sound effects now and even the voices of the characters. Ah, such fond memories. Thanks, Ross!
100 thankyous for this latest 100 pager. Lots of fun stuff to enjoy.
I LOVE IT! :-D
All my favorite Hanna-Barbera superheroes from 1967-68. Regrettably, the syndicated Marvel cartoons were never telecast in my neck of the woods till eight years later, when my folks first got cable TV. By which time, I had gotten kind of finicky as to what kind of cartoon animation I preferred. Namely, H-B and Filmation.
Hence, when I watched the premier of the re-released Marvel cartoons, circa 1975, I was slightly disappointed. The animated versions of actual comic book artwork reminded me too much of the old "Clutch Cargo" cartoons. Minus the synchro-vox!
But, for the cover art you've simulated, these poses work. I especially enjoy the Mightor/Watcher panel. The idol standing behind them looks exactly how a prehistoric society might carve a deified likeness of...The Shaper!
Thanks, again, for this wonderful joyride down Memory Lane, Ross. :-)
P.S.---re: the Space Ghost panel? I can just hear the late, great Joseph Sirola proclaiming to Space Ghost: "Doom needs no one's counsel...but his own!"
You dream is also mine. These are stories the world needs to read. Good show sir.
But... but what about the Arabian Knights and the Black Knight and the Arabian Knight in "Sword, Sword, Who's Got the Sword?" Or the Pet Avengers and the Herculoids in "Suppertime!" And let's not forget the Impossibles and the Warriors Three in "That's One Wet Step for Gods..."
This is brilliant. I so wish to get more H-B action heroes. DC tried with Future Quest, and I liked those a lot. But I guess it didn't take (or it wasn't well promoted.)
Oh, and I would DREAM of Space Ghost vs. Dr. Doom! That made me laugh, it was so good! (And Alex Toth on Dr. Doom? Swoon!)
About the only thing missing here would be Hong Kong Phooey and Iron Fist.
I'm applauding this edition! I always love your 100th issue specials but this one stole my heart. Awesome doesn't cover it today.
I don't see a team up with Antman and Birdman ending well;"Avenger; what are you choking on? Spit it out! Why, it's a tiny helmet. Uh, oh."
PS: How about a meeting between Etrigan and Hammerman (MC Hammer)?
Really like this edition - I would have bought that in a second! Can you imagine seeing that on the shelf at the convenience store in the 60's! Wow!
Thanks for this one, Ross.
@Cary: "Council of Doom." Lol! I just got it.
@ELS: Hanna-Barbera Beyond was canceled by a higher up in Warner Bros. because it was too edgy or mature; surprising, considering that a Powerpuff Girls live-action CW show in the works was criticized as too mature for a descendent of a childhood icon.
Maybe Mightor could cross over with Marvel Legacy.
Anon 12:23 PM: ... or Ant-Man and Atom Ant, Mightor and He-Man, etc.
@Carycomic: You had cable TV in the middle 1970s?
I love this... but you missed a golden opportunity to do the ultimate Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning crossover: The HB Superheroes together with the HB Fantastic Four and the Super-Friends. Call it "Crisis On Earth HB."
Outstanding! Saturday morning Valhalla! Keep 'em coming Ross!
Really nicely done! Can't believe how fast those 100 issues flew by!
@Anon@12:27: So did a neighbor up the street from me. There weren't any "cable channels" then, but one could get "local" stations for which the rooftop antenna got lousy reception. (I never had it myself until the late 80s.)
Hey, Ross: This has nothing to do with the characters you spotlighted today, but ... how about a teamup of Mike Grell's Jon Sable with either The Scorpion or Dominic Fortune? (The latter two from Chaykin looked enough alike to be interchangeable, a la the hilarious Warlord/Green Arrow storyline once upon a time.)
WOW!What a party - on screen and here with your fans. Love the Space Ghost piece. Only thing, wouldn't Doom make it a point to neutralize force fields? He'd want to ever since Sue developed her powers.
Shazan could drain at least some of the gamma radiation from Bruce (which might have changed him already). This could be why he changed over the years.
As to the Sensational Seven - 1, 2, 3, 4 then count some more. Half the team are playing by individual numbers. The rest could too.
You truly have a FUNTASTIC world you've created here Ross.
Love this so much.
I had a personal head-canon theory that the FF that showed up in the pages of Superman (with Mxyzptlk shifting into a form similar to Impossible Man) was actually the HB Cartoon version :p
Hmmm...in the same vein as Space Ghost vs. Dr. Doom, how about Shazzan vs. Dormammu some day? Shazzan seemed fairly invincible once summoned, so Old Match-Head might have a real fight on his hands!
Wasn't Mightor also in the Masked Men's Fight Club? Heard they had some great Club sandwichs. Broke up just a little later. They didn't have the Heart to keep it going.
@Anon & Bob: yep! Of course, back then, one could only change channels by actually getting up off the sofa, _walking_ over to the TV set, and manually pressing a button on the non-cordless(!) control box.
Was the Birdman and Ant-Man team inspired by the Atom and Hawkman team-up (the last seven issues of The Atom)?
More than likely.
When I was a little kid, the comic book and cartoon characters of Jonny Quest, Hercules, and the Flash inspired me to create my own superhero. Marty Musselman! Who became super-fast and super-strong everytime he drank a special kind fo root beer (from outer space).
Unfortunately, he only lasted for two imaginary adventures. The first one; against the Salvatian Army...as in the army of the Communist dicatorship of Salvatia (who, for some reason, were out to steal American furniture). And the second one; against an ultra-feminist terrorist group called the Lionesses. Basically, a bra-burning splinter faction of the Lions Club Auxiliary who ad swapped picket signs for machine guns when it came to fighting for women's lib!
@Anon: insert TWILIGHT ZONE theme, here.
1960s or 1985's version?
Classic original, of course! :-)
Cover of the month!
What about these Hannah Barbara characters meeting heroes from DC?
