YesterYear: Space Ghost

spaceghost-group.jpgSpace ghost is a famous show which was created by Hanna-Barbera and company. The cartoon was hosted by the widely known channel for children, the Cartoon Network. Space ghost became very popular in a fairly short period of time. It is full of action which is of course very entertaining for kids. Space Ghost made its debut in 1966. The show ran for a two year time span, from 1966 to 1968. Later as technologies in the field of comics creation increased, new segments and different skills were introduced which enhanced the show. These enhancements increased the shows popularity with younger viewers at the time. Due to the success of the show, there were other new segments like Space Stars, and Space Spectro.

Space Ghost is basically about a super hero who fights villains and space monsters with his few assistant friends. An issue of space ghost that was published as a comic book proved to be very popular as well. Space Ghost was a Saturday morning cartoon at its height of popularity. Space ghost is actually a cop, who has his base on a ghost planet. This super hero has an inviso button located on his belt which he can use when he needs to disappear in order to get out of trouble. He has got power bands which help him to freeze, fry, and shock the various villains that he faces. Adding to his powers, he can fly as well, but most of his travelling is done with his space ship. His assistants as mentioned above were two of his teenage siblings and a monkey. Space ghost had only 21 shows which actually appeared on TV. Later with a new season and new episodes this show was again broadcast with 22 new episodes under the name of Space stars. The future for this show in the form of comic books was very bright. But presently the Space Ghost series is no longer in demand, although it can be seen regularly broadcast on the cartoon network channel.

A rundown of just a few include the Herculoids who come to assist King Zandor and his wife Tara in the land of Amzot. The king and queen also have a son, Dorno. Others in the Herculoid camp include Igoo who resembles a gorilla that has been crafted out of stone. Another is a dragon that has the special ability to shoot power rays from his tail and eyes. The Herculoids are not a permanent fixure in the Space Ghost series as they had only actually come to help Space Ghost two times.
