Since DC Comics partnered with Hanna-Barbera to bring the animation studio’s cartoon properties to the four-color world of comics a few years back, creators have been putting their own indelible marks on Hanna-Barbera’s characters, while still remaining true to the spirit of the menageries of heroes and villains HB has to offer. Future Quest Presents has been a perfect showcase to cast love on some of those characters, with the spotlight being thrown on The Mighty Mightor in our exclusive preview of issue #8.
In the following pages, writer Jeff Parker, artist Steve Lieber, colorist Ryan Hill, and letterer Simon Bowland capture the magic and frustration of a teen who’s a superhero, but under the auspices of his elder family members. It’s an angle that comics and cartoons have explored before, but the whole team here give it a shine that pulls readers in and pays respect to Mightor’s legacy.
