April 16, Mt. Laurel, NJ: As the summer heats up, fans are invited to join Space Ghost in soaring through another awesome comics annual from the critically acclaimed creative team helmed by David Pepose and Jonathan Lau!
Space Ghost Annual #2 lifts off this July, once again serving as an extra-sized, fun-filled capstone to the past dozen issues, aka “Season Two,” as well as teeing up teases for what’s to come next in the best-selling series from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.
“The Hanna-Barbera Universe is about to get a whole lot bigger in the pages of Space Ghost,” said series writer David Pepose. “It’s been such an incredible gift to work on the galaxy’s greatest superheroes with my amazing collaborators Jonathan Lau, Andrew Dalhouse, and Taylor Esposito — and we’re only just getting started! We are truly grateful for all the incredible support of the readers, retailers, and press who have championed our run from the very beginning — with Space Ghost Annual #2, we’re wrapping up our second year with action, excitement, and heart, setting the stage for more exciting Space Ghost adventures to come!”
Pepose (Speed Racer, Captain Planet, Cable: Love & Chrome) continues his approach to the character and mythos that has been showered with praise for melding the original whimsical DNA of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon with pulse-pounding superhero storytelling. With most issues being one-off stories or short arcs, each issue offers readers something special as the larger stories continue to develop. Prolific powerhouse artist Jonathan Lau (Red Sonja, Green Hornet) brings all that energy and more to the page, with his dream project allowing him to fully unleash the action he’s mastered.
Space Ghost, Jan, and Jace are trying to mourn their recent losses, but get hit with a massive curveball when the master thief Magnus and his mysterious, reality-warping partner known only as The Alien set out on a dangerous heist. They’re on the case to discover the deadly secret behind this mind-bending, cosmic crime spree.
In addition to the madness of Magnus, this can’t-miss comic book annual also acts as a prelude to the next Space Ghost adventure, as the space-faring squad careens towards a historic meeting with… The Herculoids! More info on that thrilling crossover is coming soon!
The issue features covers by Lau, Bjorn Barends, Tom Raney, as well as superhero genre icon Jerry Ordway (Adventures of Superman, All-Star Squadron, Crisis on Infinite Earths).
