Those Groovy Saturday Mornings: Alex Toth's Space Ghost! Will Meugnoit and Dave Stevens' Herculoids!

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Ya thought it was wild when Disney bought Marvel? Well, back in the Groovy Age, Marvel got some practice playing nice with other companies' cartoon cavorters when they licensed Hanna/Barbera's line of comic cut-ups. It was a short-term deal, but there were a few true gems that actually came from the Marvel/HB partnership. Take for example TV Stars #3 (September 1978). I'm talkin' Alex-freakin'-Toth applying graphite and ink to his beloved Space Ghost, baby! Oh, and just for fun, how about Will Muegnoit and a pre-Rocketeer Dave Stevens supplying the art for a Herculoids short? Can your eyes handle the splendor? Will your mind be able to fully take in this sublime experience? Of course you'll pass this titanic test! You're Groove-ophiles!

And thanks to Mark Evanier for supplying these stupendous stories for those leviathans of lead!
