Dynamite’s ‘Space Ghost’ Relaunches With A New Issue #1

by Erik Amaya

Attention Space Ghost fans: Space Ghost is back with a new #1.

But the acclaimed creative team of writer David Pepose, artist Jonathan Lau, colorist Andrew Dalhouse, and letterer Taylor Esposito remains to tell the next year of stories in the Alex Toth-inspired galaxy. Serving as a jumping-on point, the new #1 “kicks off with the first appearance in the series of a classic villain. Space Ghost and Blip find themselves on a planet themed all around amusement parks that has been taken over by the maniacal Toymaker, with a high stakes hostage crisis at hand.” Elsewhere, Jan and Jace confront someone from their past who will “shake the Ghost Planet team to their core.”

“Because you demanded it… the adventures will continue in our epic second volume of Space Ghost!” Pepose said in a statement. “Following the aftermath of Robo Corp and the Council of Doom’s evil schemes, Jonathan Lau and I have some truly exciting new storylines coming for Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, and Blip, as their superheroic partnership will be tested in ways that will shake the very foundations of their universe. This relaunch is a testament to the incredible passion and dedication of all the readers, retailers, and press, who have championed our series from the very beginning — Space Ghost has been one of the most rewarding books I’ve ever had a chance to work on, and I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store for you next!”

Supporting the debut issue are covers from Francesco Mattina, Jae Lee and June Chung, Bjorn Barends, Michael Cho, and Alex Ross, who will surprise fans with his cover.
