Long before he assumed the persona of a late-night talk show host, Space Ghost was the Man. Alex Toth created Space Ghost for a Hanna-Barbera cartoon show that CBS premiered on September 10, 1966. What made it so neat was an interesting combination: with seven minutes to save the universe, Space Ghost couldn’t waste time. Characters didn’t stand around so the cartoons raced along at top speed. Maybe the main reason was Space Ghost himself. We knew nothing about him. He was driven to protect the cosmos from the likes of Metallus and Brak, that he had a secret headquarters, a sleek spaceship and possessed the Power-Bands. That he just looked like a hero, soaring through the stars, with Gary Owens‚ distinctive voice shouting out “Spaaaaace Ghost!”

Product Description Here, for the first time, is a showcase presentation of the best of the art from the legendary Hanna-Barbera studio.
The Hanna-Barbera Treasury celebrates the legacy of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera through more than five decades of rare drawings, storyboards, concept art, and memorabilia from studio archives and private collections. It includes more than 24 removable artifacts and facsimile reproductions, as well as photographs, sketches, comic book covers, brochures, and posters. Vintage art, rare merchandising images, retro product packages, and archival newspaper and magazine ads transport the reader back in time to an era when a brave new medium invaded our living rooms to create a new art form: the prime-time family cartoon.
In a world flooded by rapidly changing images, few are able to maintain the appeal that has defined the characters of Hanna-Barbera for more than 50 years. Since first joining forces as a pair of young animators, Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera won the hearts of more than three generations. The duo won seven Academy awards at MGM during the golden age of the Hollywood cartoon, and still, decades later, their best-loved characters, having made their debut in television's early days, are household names.
Today, it is not uncommon for three generations to share the joy of Hanna-Barbera's creations, including such classics as Huckleberry Hound, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Magilla Gorilla, Top Cat, and Space Ghost. Written by animation historian Jerry Beck, The Hanna-Barbera Treasury will be eagerly sought by those who grew up with these characters as well as a new generation of cartoon fans.
Every oversized page is PACKED with photos of REAL production artwork -- most of which was apparently photographed from original archival artwork! There are pictures of storyboards, layouts, animation drawings, model sheets, development sketches, character designs, etc...stuff that has never seen the light of day until now.
There are also tons of beautiful photos of vintage H-B collectable and toys, like plastic dolls and View-Master reels. If you remember the groundbreaking art direction in Chip Kidd's Batman Animated art book from the nineties, you can imagine what this looks like.
The other feature that really expands the page-count is that there are tons of little envelopes and pockets and pamphlets bound into this book that contain beautiful facsimiles of trading cards, full-color 12-page mini-comic book reprints, Model sheets, storyboard sequences and vintage activity-book pages.
There are separate chapters for all of the early Hanna Barbera stars (in chronological order), including a chapter EACH devoted to:
* Tom and Jerry * Ruff and Reddy * Huckleberry Hound * Pixie and Dixie * Yogi Bear * Quick-Draw McGraw * Augie Doggie * Snagglepuss * The Flintstones * Top Cat * The Jetsons * Magilla Gorilla * Peter Potamus * Sqiddly Diddly * Touche Turtle * Lippy The Lion * Jonny Quest * Space Ghost * Atom Ant * Secret Squirerel and Morocco Mole * Frankenstein, Jr and the Impossibles * Birdman * Wacky Races * Space Ghost * Scooby Doo
