Cartoon Network Presents Space Ghost

    (Archie, 1997)
™ and © Archie Publications

Though Space Ghost has been quite successful on the television with two vastly different formats, he hasn’t quite achieved the same success in comic books.

Space Ghost is also one of the few “straight” super-heroes (at least in his earlier incarnation) that came out of the Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Studios, and he would have seemed to be a natural for comics. Even Space Ghost’s second incarnation as campy talk show host hasn’t translated well to comic books. This Archie-published comic exploited that first format long after the series first appeared in the 60s with a similar issue published by Gold Key, and captures the essence of what made Space Ghost successful quite well.
