    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    Me and my dad would stay up "late" and watch Coast to Coast. One of the first adult shows I was allowed to watch

    Very interesting story line .I used to think he was lame, that goes to show about judgement before breaching character.

    Space ghost coast to coast was hilarious! The best episode was the wasting cable one!! LMAO! The regular cartoon was awesome, it blew my mind as a kid in the 80's!

    Dressed up as space ghost in like 4th grade. Mom made the costume. It was like 97 I think. I watched alot of Hanna Barbara cartoons growing up and space ghost was probably my favorite even before cartoon planet and coast to coast started airing
