Building on the success of the critically acclaimed and bestselling Space Ghost series, Dynamite Entertainment is proud to bring another beloved Hanna-Barbera classic to readers this February - The Herculoids!
Hidden in the furthest reaches of space, the planet of Amzot is legendary for its fabled riches - and for the terrible fates that befall anybody who seeks to exploit them...
Those who survive their encounters tell blood-chilling tales of horrific, imposing monsters that guard the mysterious world - yet the lure of its abundant resources is too great to resist. Raiders and pirates continue to come from across the galaxy more
This was the perfect introduction to The Herculoids for those that are unfamiliar. It was a simple and straightforward narrative that gave us all the information we needed. We were introduced to new characters and given a refresher on familiar ones. The story moved a good pace and the artwork felt organic and honored the original. If you were a fan of the cartoon you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you know nothing about The Herculoids, you'll be introduced to a fascinating world that captured the imagination of fans like myself decades ago! Read Full Review
THE HERCULOIDS #1 is a fun, continuation of the classic Hanna-Barbera series when ruthless mercenaries pick the wrong planet to invade. Tom Sniegoski's script is a pitch-perfect continuation of the classic cartoon, and the art team's portrayal of the classic team is on point. That said, the cartoonish nature of the story and art may not satisfy readers looking for a bolder update to the classic property. Read Full Review
The late 1960s found Hanna-Barbera a degree of success with Space Ghost and a few other cartoons. Somewhere in the midst of introducing a few new cartoons for the 1968 Saturday morning line-up they created a group of weird space fantasy heroes who protected the fictional planet of Amzot. It was probably one of the stranger space fantasy ensembles to come out of the late 20th century. As such it never really managed much of an impact on the pop cultural consciousness. Nice to see Dynamite Entertainment reviving the old property for a whole new audience. Read Full Review
