Joe Quesada Lends His Talents To ‘Space Ghost’ #2 FOC Cover
by Erik Amaya
Space Ghost continues to soar with its second issue — and Dynamite is celebrating with a new variant cover for fans to enjoy.
The company announced Thursday that Joe Quesada will contribute a new cover for the sophomore issue available to fans and retailers via the final order cutoff. As seen above, the cover features the title character in deep space and recalls the adventures of his days as a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.
“Nobody is more blown away than me that the legendary Joe Quesada has graced us with this sensational cover for Space Ghost,” writer David Pepose said in a statement. “From his work on Daredevil to spearheading Marvel Knights, I’ve been a tremendous fan of Joe for years as both an artist, an editor, and as one of comics’ most enthusiastic ambassadors. I truly could not be more excited to have him lend us his extraordinary talents to Space Ghost with this instantly iconic image.”
The second issue continues Pepose and artist Jonathan Lau‘s more grounded take on the characters from the 1960s animated series. As Pepose put it when the book was announced last February, “We’re taking those classic vibes and using them as a starting point to dig even deeper into the characters than the original cartoons were ever able to.” Space Ghost is now a vigilante trying to stem the chaos as the Galactic Federation proves powerless in the face of space pirates and other threats to interstellar peace. He’s already come to the aid of scientist Dr. Jerrod Keplar; his children, Jan and Jace; and their monkey, Blip — but what else awaits them as the galaxy continues to slide into lawlessness?
Those interested in picking up the Quesada cover for issue two can contact their local comic book shop. The final order cutoff will occur the week of May 13th.
