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.
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.
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....
@@Spider-Fan006 I watched the movie on VHS 📼 too when I was 3 years old. Nowadays, I'm used to streaming on my Roku Ultra and I keep up with what's happening in Marvel Comics. Blood Hunt #1 just came out today.
Best line from space ghost coast to coast: “Yeah, and you're supposed to be dumpster diving for ham scraps, you six-piece Chicken McNobody! Get outta my seat!”
A buddy of mine just sent me this with the caption "hey, 15 seconds in... is that your art?" And... IT IS!!! Thanks for thinking enough of my piece (third image in the video) to include in your video!!!
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$$
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.
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).
Hey Arris. Space ghost remains one of my all time favorite cartoons and characters. I'm looking forward to watching this episode. Thanks to you and tim from Vermont.
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! 🙂
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.
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.
I'm a very old Space Ghost fan. Up every Saturday morning to watch my favorite galactic vigilante. Maybe time to say hello to my power bands again. Excellent video.
I enjoyed both the original series with my kids when they were young and now when their older we love watching Coast to Coast together. I might actually buy these comics. They will be the first ones purchased since elementary school.
Funny thing is I never knew Space Ghost had a funny talk show until I grew up and saw clips on TH-cam. I remember Space Ghost as the Hanna Barbara cartoon
I grew up watching the original Space Ghost, who never truly had such an in depth backstory, before. It's refreshing to see Space Ghost revitalized. :)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
Grew up in the 60's watching this, along with similar cartoons such as Jonny Quest, Clutch Cargo and other original programming. I had my fun so who cares what anyone does with the relics of my past as long as it isn't a waste and someone appreciates it.
Can you do the history of magneto, gambit, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen please
Oh man-I'm loving the back story! I don't believe that the old Hannah Barbara Space Ghost cartoons (nor the "newer" one's made in the early 80's) ever discussed the character's origin.
At Least Space Ghost Is More Relevant Than 1/3 of DC's obscure heroes I hope we get a new animated series as much as I'm anticipated Flintstones spinoff Bedrock and Dreading the recently announced Live Action Scooby Doo Teen Drama series If WB casts Madelaine Petsch as Daphne Blake she's going to be my Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds just sayin'
Pick up the full first issue of Space Ghost here -> bit.ly/SpaceGhost1
🎉
Nice.
Very impressive.
Can you look at the Origins of The Brain from Teen Titans/Doom Patrol🧠
Is this video re uploaded?
I’m loving this. Being a old man (54), this gave me flashbacks of Saturday morning looking at the repeats of space ghost on boomerang
54 isn't old Bro
I picked up the first issue today. It's really great.
54 lol damn bro boomerang how old am I
@@josephpena6181 Do u know What Boomerang is?
I am 55 so...I want the toilet seat.
"SPAAAAACCCCEEEE GHOOOOOSSSSTTTT!!!!" 😁
Space Ghost Birdman teamup is mandatory
Only if it's Cash Money's Birdman....
He'll fight the entire galaxy for some respect on him name.
Or blue falcon
Or the Caveman/Viking version of Space Ghost, "The Mighty Mightor."
BIIIIIIIIIIRDMAN!!! I always got a laugh out of how he had to announce himself like that in every other scene.
Im guessing either Space Ghost invites Birdman to be a talk show guest or Space Ghost goes to Birdman to handle a case 😅
Coast to coast
this is what i came here for🥹
Long live Zorak!
Exactly what I was thinking lol haven't thought of him since back then.
Didn’t realize there was a different one until a few years ago 😂😂
Grew up on coast to coast the actual cartoon was garbage

Am 70 years old and watched the original 1967 show..
Me too

USA cartoon express with Space Ghost and Blue Falcon and Dyno mutt, such good childhood memories!

Best line from space ghost coast to coast:
“Yeah, and you're supposed to be dumpster diving for ham scraps, you six-piece Chicken McNobody! Get outta my seat!”

really didnt expect space ghost's origin to be this hard xD

Dude, that is freaking amazing!!!
That looks awesome!
Holy crap! How awesome is that?? Major props!
So OG Space Ghost is essentially The Count of Monte Cristo - In Space.
Cool. 😎👍
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.
Broooo! I'm a huge space ghost fan! I never could stand coast to coast, but I loved the old cartoon!!
Never expected you guys to cover one of my childhood fave series! Thank you truly for this!
Space Ghost is an OG. Glad you dig it too!
Space Ghost and Johnny Quest were My Favorites back in the 60's and 70's GREAT Video!!!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Who only knows him from Space Ghost Coast to Coast on Adult Swim?
Both the original cartoon and adult swim version
I mainly know him from the whip meme
That and cartoon planet
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$$
If you were born in the 80' you know him from the original cartoon, if you were born in 2000, you know nothing lol
Macho Man Randy Savage is Space Ghost's Grandpa
Oh yeah
Fact
Ooooooo Yeeeaaahh!!!
I didn't know that but it's awesome to know
He gonna give the Elbow Drop to Zorak 🤣

The best Space Ghost Coast to Coast is when he interviewed Bjork. That was really something🤔😂😂
Bjork and Yorke
@@tb3411 absolutely York too👍🏾😂
“Here’s to marriage!…… Let’s drink until our heart stops..”
😂😂😂
It’s sad, but years later I found out exactly what he meant..😆
I still use those lines with my wife.:
“Another big SPACE WAR, if you can believe that..” and “I’ll be home as soon as there is peace…. in space…”

OMG!!!!! My superhero before the XMen came into my life
Now at 44 years of age... it brings tears to my eyes...❤❤❤❤
I only know Space Ghost from Adult Swim. What a badass character
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.
Bruh, Space Ghost Coast to Coast was my CHILDHOOD. If they don’t introduce Brakk, I’ll be pissed…
“Dad” (the Brak Show) will be some sort of AI..
I just impulse bought the Francesco Mattina virgin foil variant today so this video was perfectly timed for me. Great stuff as always!
Being Gen X, I remember the IG Space Coast on tv. One of my favorite shows!
I'm more excited to pickup a copy of space ghost tomorrow. see my favorite character return
Never knew Space Ghost was such a badass. Looking forward to this series. Great coverage as usual.
Love it! Would also love to see if they cross over with other beloved Hannah Barbera heroes such as Birdman, Blue Falcon, Galtar, Mightor etc
I used to watch Space Ghost and Dino Boy when I was a kid. Good show
Bro this art is INCREDIBLE!
I remember watching the OG space ghost via Boomerang it was pretty interesting.
I would love it if dc made a space ghost movie as a part of the dcu would be really cool
DITTO!!
That's up to James Gunn
@@GaryTurboHope he does
Everyone wants to be Space Ghost
Congrats on having another baby! Best of luck to you!
Space Ghost actually appeared in Cartoon Planet during the early days on Cartoon Network
65 used to wake up 6:30am to start Saturday morning cartoons Space Ghost was a main watch. Good childhood memories.😊
I'm a very old Space Ghost fan. Up every Saturday morning to watch my favorite galactic vigilante.
Maybe time to say hello to my power bands again.
Excellent video.
I enjoyed both the original series with my kids when they were young and now when their older we love watching Coast to Coast together. I might actually buy these comics. They will be the first ones purchased since elementary school.
Funny thing is I never knew Space Ghost had a funny talk show until I grew up and saw clips on TH-cam. I remember Space Ghost as the Hanna Barbara cartoon
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
1990 baby here! I clicked on this fast as… well you get the rest😏
😎🤘
Born in the late 50s. I loved Space Ghost - Saturday morning cartoons were the best. I even made my own power bands! This just adds to my happiness!
Yo just imagine if they made a Live-Action Space Ghost movie based on the comics, it would be wicked as hell
I grew up watching the original Space Ghost, who never truly had such an in depth backstory, before. It's refreshing to see Space Ghost revitalized. :)
First youtuber that I'm subscribed to do a SpacezzGhost orgin story. I love it 😀
I remember that show, along with Johnny Question, The Centurions, and wow I’m old
This should be a movie
That would be sooo COOL.
I grew up in the 80's, LOVED SPACE GHOST!! Just ordered the comic...
I'm digging this first issue!
I wish they would have covered how he transitioned from a superhero to a super host…coast to coast
I'm a Hannah Barbara kid. I couldn't get into the Coast to Coast talk show. So, I'm going to Love the new comics!!
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!
If that dude who plays “Reacher” didn’t open his mouth and to put his foot in it, I would have been cheering for him to play Space Ghost.
I'm 65 and a Space Ghost fan, this is AWESOME.
Wow! Space Ghost is no joke! Hard to believe they made him into comic relief. I would love to see this more serious version!!!!
I remember being a kid watching boomerang wondering who this hero is
New love for Space Ghost makes my 90's kid soul so happy 🥰
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.
Well as a 70s kid I used to watch the syndicated reruns all the time 👍🏽👍🏽
I'm 53 Space Ghost was popular in the 70's here in NYC on channel 7 Saturday mornings

Dude this is so freaking awesome🎉
After Over 50 yrs. Now I Know the Origin of Space Ghost. Thanks For Posting This.
Love Space Ghost! Thanks for a really groovy video dive into Space Ghost!
I've only ever known Space Ghost as a talk show host. He's definitely a lot cooler than I expected
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.
I can't believe I saw a new Space Ghost comic when I went to the comic book store. I bought it instantly.
Use to watch this back in the 90s in during my elementary days along with other late night shows in cartoon network..

Okay. I caved. Had to whip out the plastic and buy #1. Haven't bought a new comic book in decades.
Looking forward to reading this.
Me and my dad would stay up "late" and watch Coast to Coast. One of the first adult shows I was allowed to watch
Grew up in the 60's watching this, along with similar cartoons such as Jonny Quest, Clutch Cargo and other original programming. I had my fun so who cares what anyone does with the relics of my past as long as it isn't a waste and someone appreciates it.
TY for this! Huge Space Ghost fan here...❤
I used to think Space Ghost and Batman were cousins only because of how their masks are irritably similar to each other
Imma letu finish..... but the best SG : C2C episode was when THE Macho Man Randy Savage was playing Space Ghost's Grandfather
Oh yeaaah! That was iconic, man! Yeah!

I remember watchin space ghost as a kid in the 80s
On the other hand, i loved what adult swim did with all those old H&B superheros
I’m 62 years old I remember waking up Saturday mornings to watch Space Ghost.
Space Ghost's Evil twin Space Spectre doesn't get enough love.
Also I'd love to see a review of Mage: The Hero Discovered.
