In my 55 years on this planet and my 49-plus years of knowing about Space Ghost, this is my first time knowing about his origin, and it should be good; thank you, Variant Comics for the info and I will support the comics because of this video you all put out....

Or the Caveman/Viking version of Space Ghost, "The Mighty Mightor."

[@MaskedRiderChris]

BIIIIIIIIIIRDMAN!!! I always got a laugh out of how he had to announce himself like that in every other scene.

[@7swordquanta459]

Im guessing either Space Ghost invites Birdman to be a talk show guest or Space Ghost goes to Birdman to handle a case 😅

[@jamesharrison1279]

I remember space ghost when I was a kid back in the 1960s . It was one of my favorite cartoons on Saturday mornings along with the herculoids and mighty mightor .Hanna barbera was on fire with their superhero lineup. I cherish those moments.

[@jamesharrison1279]

Hanna barbera was king of the Saturday morning cartoon industry during that time they even produced the fantastic four cartoon series in 1967 . The herculoids was their version of the fantastic four.

[@kevinreid8946]

I remember those Saturday morning shows and I still want a live action Space Ghost or Johnny Quest movie to be made.

I watched reruns of og Space Ghost as a kid, then Coast to Coast was hilarious as a young adult. Sometimes I still watch the reruns of that on YT.

[@grahamcann1761]

As always thank you so very much for the videos. And especially for this one! I'm an "old Space Ghost fan", having watched the series as it first aired, and I think this is Great! Thanks again for sharing. So many great voices, including: Gary Owens (Narrator & Space Ghost), Ginny Taylor (Jan), Don Messick (Blip, Zorak, Creature King), Tim Matheson (Jace).

[@troyfew2373]

I know Space Ghost from the 70s Saturday morning cartoons, and I didn't look at that crap on the cartoon network because I thought it was embarrassing to the Saturday morning cartoon, and Space Ghost isn't a joke character to be sitting behind a desk like Plastic Man, Booster Gold, or Deadpool; he belongs in space kicking a$$

[@WestCoastKing89]

If you were born in the 80' you know him from the original cartoon, if you were born in 2000, you know nothing lol

[@Elysium_the_Bard]

I know this would have been asking for a bit much, but I so wanted to have Variant Comics show the scene where Space Ghost (SGC2C) is tracking a normal sized ant back to its layer and then, throughout the episode, you just have Space Ghost slowly walking across the bottom of the screen, tracking said ant.

I'm thrilled that we are getting to see the OG Space Ghost back in action. I know that most people only know about Space Ghost Coast to Coast. However, before that, there was the OG Space Ghost that was all about fighting against evildoers. I read the first issue and as a huge fan of the character, I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing how this series plays out! 🙂

[@thepaintedwoodsmanshow3842]

Yo just imagine if they made a Live-Action Space Ghost movie based on the comics, it would be wicked as hell

[@6scar911]

I only know Space Ghost from Adult Swim. What a badass character

[@sergioandrade8735]

In the 1960's there was a Gold Key comic which featured facts about Space Ghost which were left out of the series. Space Ghost was given a mentor that he communicated with by telepathy that came from "the anti-galaxy" the format resembled Chandu the Magician a popular radio show of the 1930's and 40's. Like Space Ghost Chandu had boy and girl twin teenage sidekicks. The mentor that communicated telepathically was used in the early version of Dr. Strange.

[@sergioandrade8735]

One explanation, in the 1960's novels and comics based on TV and movies were written months before the series would by on air or in theaters often using early drafts of scripts, sometimes parts that did not make the final cut would be in the book or comics that had been cut.

[@marklastes312]

Coast to Coast was one of the best shows of my childhood on CN. I also watched the OG show back when they showed OG cartoons on CN before Boomerang.

Every Saturday or Sunday morning, I watched Space Ghost. I disliked Coast to Coast but this is fabulous! Definitely buying these. A serious Space Ghost is more fitting.

[@DanielMenza-q3x]

I have loved Space Ghost since I was kid, and I'm 58. I watched the Coast to Coast program once and was embarrassed by what they did to a great hero. I am glad to see that he is being given a quality rebirth. Bravo!

[@jmc6644]

Definitely ready for this comic! It’s in my read pile from this week. As a child of the eighties, I can remember catching reruns of the original Space Ghost, Jonny Quest and Thundarr before the regular Saturday morning cartoons started. And then a few years later catching random episodes on USA Cartoon Express and then Cartoon Network. I agree that Coast to Coast did a real disservice to the character. I haven’t fully read the DC miniseries yet, but randomly find an issue here and there, so will eventually have tho whole thing to read in a sitting.

Space Ghost actually appeared in Cartoon Planet during the early days on Cartoon Network

I think they did a phenomenal job on this comic. It has redefined Space Ghost as a serious Superhero/Vigilante that he was meant to be in the comics. I hope at some point we get a serious animated movie with him. I think that would be awesome.

[@abedrahman4519]

Funny thing is I never knew Space Ghost had a funny talk show until I grew up and saw clips on KZbin. I remember Space Ghost as the Hanna Barbara cartoon

[@UltimateGenosyko]

Opposite for me, never knew he was part of a real super hero show. I just thought he was meant to be a parody of super heros

I fondly remember Space Ghot from my Saturday morning Hanna-Barbera fix, and I think it's interesting how DC went as far as to give him a back story he never had, that I remember anyway. I liked what they did with it, from what I saw. The Dynamite Comics version looks good, too. You can tell they're fans and wanted to do it justice, unlike most comic companies these days. Looks good!
