Space Ghost Coast to Coast

[ZorakTheEvilLocust]

Well, I've found almost every Cartoon Cartoons SGC2C comics for 5 bucks each, and, I have to ask, because I bought the CN Presents one that came out in 1997, and the art plus the story was horrible. Is the art/story bad in the Cartoon Cartoons comics? Is it worth it?

[Majikthise]

It's like night and day. The Cartoon Network Presents story was evidently the work of people who had no real feeling for the show or the characters and it shows. The Cartoon Network Starring and Cartoon Cartoons books, on the other hand, were much closer to the spirit of the show. Many of the stories were even written by Andy Merrill and C. Martin Croker did most of the covers and some of the interior art. If you want me to give you a rundown on each issue so you know which ones to get, I would be happy to do that for you.

[ZorakTheEvilLocust]

That would be nice.

[Majikthise]

All right, here's the list:

Cartoon Network Starring #4 -- 12/99 -- includes a story by Andy Merrill and a Sugarman's Taco Pies ad

Cartoon Network Starring #9 -- 5/00 -- includes a story by Merrill with art by C. Martin Croker, a crudely drawn story by Brak, and an Evil Seed ad

Cartoon Network Starring #12 -- 8/00 -- includes a story by Merrill with thanks to Croker

Cartoon Network Starring #15 -- 11/00

Cartoon Network Starring #18 -- 02/01 -- includes a story by Croker

Cartoon Cartoons #3 -- 05/01

Cartoon Cartoons #6 -- 09/01 -- includes a manga-inspired story by Merrill

Cartoon Cartoons #10 -- 05/02

Cartoon Cartoons #13 -- 11/02

Cartoon Cartoons #15 -- 03/03

So, uh... the ones blank were not by them, right?

[ZorakTheEvilLocust]

There is also a CN Starring, I saw one about a cake with art by Clay Croker, is that one any good?

[Majikthise]

That's correct. They still feature fun stories, though. "The SGC2C Spring Break Extravaganza" from Cartoon Cartoons #10 is one of my favorites from the whole comics run.

Yes, that's CN Starring #15 and yes, it's a good one. As far as I'm concerned, you can't wrong with any of them (with the exception, of course, of the first one which you already have).

[ZorakTheEvilLocust]

Thanks a lot.

[Majikthise]

Glad I could be of service.

[Silvolf]

I love the Spring Break one, that's what got me started drawing Zorak in Hawaiian shirts lol!

I tried to post a pic of him but it won't let me, keeps saying there's invalid HTML. So here's a link *kicks the board for being a jerk* http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e188/Silvolf/Zorak%20Icons/Zora

Regular users aren't able to post images, but HELPeRs can.

[Silvolf]

Thanks for HELPing lol! Has it been like that long? I'm sure we used to be able to post them. It would be easier if the image button was greyed out cos I'd never have known had you not told me.

[Majikthise]

As far as I know, regular users have never been able to post images, just links.

[Silvolf]

Oh well, I probably got it mixed up with another forum.

[Majikthise]

Possibly.

While we're on the subject of image posting, how would you like to take a crack at a banner for the folder? Maybe Zorak and Moltar getting into a snowball fight with Space Ghost.

[Silvolf]

Hey that would be fun! Image dimensions it needs to be? I'll have a go!

[Majikthise]

240 pixels tall by 480 pixels wide should do the trick.

[Silvolf]

Ok, I'll do it over the weekend. I have the image in my mind

[Majikthise]

Excellent! Can't wait to see it!

[Silvolf]

And it is done. In the size you specified Hope its good enough! The banner

[Majikthise]

It looks fabulous. Let me know if you want to do any more in the future. (Maybe one of Zorak in a leprechaun outfit for St. Patrick's Day.)

[Silvolf]

Sure, I'd be happy to do more in the future!

[Majikthise]

On the subject of the Ghost and comics, while I was home on vacation I came across the one-shot Space Ghost comic Comico did in 1987. No Moltar, but a lot of the original show's other villains are present and accounted for.

[Silvolf]

Oooh a new one I haven't heard of! I have the 10 that came in that series plus an AWFULLY drawn one with Space Ghost in the first story and Yogi Bear in the second. I remember there was one based on the original show that had Zorak in it. I saw a scan once. I want that one.
