The Herculoids

One of my favorite base dealers, Davey Lopes, little short guy with a mustache.

Batting second, playing shortstop, we call him Lloyd, Herculoid, Billy Russell.

Batting third, playing left field, Dr. Scull, man of my heart, gives me heartburn when he don't hit, keeps those pizzas coming, Dusty Baker.

Hitting fourth, Mr. All-America, my favorite person, the boy next door, the girl you want your daughter to marry.

Gleek and Gleek, well, no,

the Herculoids.

Oh, right.

Yeah, the Shmoo kind of ghost-looking characters that could kind of morph into any shape and everything.

But I grew up.

I'm a guy, I grew up watching Super Friends and Spider-Man and his amazing friends and Space Ghosts and Herculoids and all of the Hanna-Barbera stuff, all of the Ruby Spears stuff, Thundar and, you know, the Marvel stuff.

If you've not seen it, MCU Trivia Challenge, we did the Marvel's Avengers Assembled series which Earth's Mightiest Heroes is is what was Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes which is the best Marvel animated show ever made and in my opinion one of the top tier maybe top five of all time I would put this show the Batman in the top five not top five necessarily favorite But top five in terms of style, storytelling, and just animation, everything about it.

As a kid, I grew up with Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Super Friends, and those are my favorites.

...

Space Ghost versus the Herculoids number 1.

So this is coming off of David Pepose's Space Ghost series at Dynamite.

We talked about this, I want to say two, maybe three weeks ago now.

But I was, uh, we talked about the end of Space Ghost series, and I was saying I wasn't sure if, you know, Space Ghost was continuing, if there was gonna be another title.

And lo and behold, we do have another title.

So again, this is Space Ghost versus the Herculoids.

I am covering up [laughs] some of the creators on here.

The problem I have with this issue is the V, the versus.

I don't wanna see my parents fighting like this.

You know what I mean? We got Space Ghost versus The Herculoids.

Uh, this is a great issue.

You know, that is what Hanna-Barbera specialized in, like, is this kind of thing.

Like, why Scooby-Doo and not the Herculoids? It doesn't matter.

Yeah, it really doesn't.

Yeah.
