Item Description

Created for Hanna-Barbera's CBS Saturday-Morning line-up in 1966, and designed by comic book great Alex Toth, SPACE GHOST was a superhero who, with his teen sidekicks, Jan and Jace, and Blip the monkey, fought supervillains in outer space. He was an intergalactic crime fighter from the Ghost Planet with the ability to be invisible (Inviso Power) (via his belt), fly, and survive in space. His principal weapons were his power bands which displayed multiple beam-based attacks including heat, cold, magnetism, energy, and force among others.

Following the success of his own fictional late-night comedic talk show, _'_SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST'on Cartoon Network, he was revamped as a serious superhero once again in a mini-series by DC Comics.

Here is a copy of the first issue of that mini-series, written by Joe Kelly, and with a painted cover and painted interior art by Ariel Olivetti. In the story "CRUCIBLE", peacekeeper Thaddeus Bach takes down and arrests several criminals. He goes home to be with his pregnant wife. He is later recruited into an elite peacekeeping force known as The Wrath.

Bach goes on a job with the Wrath and sees them kill suspects unnecessarily and take some of the money from the raid. Bach takes to task his superior over the incident before going home, waking his wife, and starting to flee with her. The rest of the Wrath appear behind him, knock him out cold and kill his pregnant wife and unborn son. They shoot him and leave him for dead.

A gripping beginning to an exciting mini-series.
