Pepose & Lau Back With New 'Space Ghost' Adventures This Summer

 

The new era of Space Ghost comics from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products has been a rocketing success, lauded with critical acclaim, glowing fan feedback, and soaring up the charts. Following the Annual in June, the next year and phase of stories starts in Space Ghost #1 this July from the returning powerhouse duo of David Pepose and Jonathan Lau!

"Because you demanded it... the adventures will continue in our epic second volume of Space Ghost!" said series writer David Pepose. "Following the aftermath of Robo Corp and the Council of Doom's evil schemes, Jonathan Lau and I have some truly exciting new storylines coming for Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, and Blip, as their superheroic partnership will be tested in ways that will shake the very foundations of their universe. This relaunch is a testament to the incredible passion and dedication of all the readers, retailers, and press, who have championed our series from the very beginning — Space Ghost has been one of the most rewarding books I've ever had a chance to work on, and I can't wait for fans to see what we have in store for you next!"

The Guardian of the Spaceways is back, welcoming continuing readers and inviting new ones to hop right back on with a fresh tale and interwoven recaps. Superfan turned chronicler David Pepose (Captain Planet, Speed Racer, Cable: Love and Chrome) is bringing more evil-thwarting action and excitement. Virtuoso veteran artist Jonathan Lau is ready to unleash his kinetic artwork, bringing these new scripts to the page. Together with the rest of the creative team, including colorist Andrew Dalhouse and letterer Taylor Esposito, they're bringing more from a run that critics and fans have proclaimed to be a seamless blend of the iconic original animation's spirit and modern superhero and action comics sensibilities.

"Pepose and Lau's Space Ghost is among the best superhero books in print." - Screen Rant

This new jumping-on point kicks off with the first appearance in the series of a classic villain. Space Ghost and Blip find themselves on a planet themed all around amusement parks that has been taken over by the maniacal Toymaker, with a high-stakes hostage crisis at hand. Meanwhile, Jan and Jace are confronted by a mysterious figure from their past that will shake the Ghost Planet team to their core.

Pepose and company have largely packed each and every issue with a complete epic, while continuing subplots, turning to larger arcs when ramping things up even more, to give fans what they want! August's second issue brings in another exciting character with Space Ghost's notorious old flame the Eclipse Woman. When her energy-bending crime spree crosses paths with ruthless crime lord Boss Parko, Space Ghost and the twins get drawn into a deadly orbit.

This new series features galactically-inspired covers from superstars Francesco Mattina, Jae Lee and June Chung, Bjorn Barends, Michael Cho, and an incredible surprise piece from the legend Alex Ross!

SPACE GHOST #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ May 2025 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in July 2025. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers.
