Part-Time Fanboy Podcast: Ep 528 David Pepose Defends the Cosmos with Space Ghost!

The original Space Ghost cartoon was one of Kristian’s absolute favorite cartoons as a kid. Something about the cosmic crusader’s adventures just tapped right into his nerd brain as a child and the character was one that he held close to his heart even into adulthood. Other than a Comico one-shot in the 1980’s, a great sequential art adaptation of SG’s adventures had never really satisfied Kristian’s urge for more serious Space Ghost tales. So when Dynamite Entertainment announced that they were doing the first Space Ghost comic in years, Kristian was skeptical…even though friend of the podcast David Pepose had been tapped to handle the writing chores. Well, the new series ended up being one of Kristian’s favorite things (comics or otherwise) of 2024 and he’d never been so happy to be wrong about something. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian sits down to talk with David about how he managed to modernize Hanna-Barbera‘s galactic guardian while still remaining true to the source material that made him a Saturday morning TV star back in the 1960’s.
