Space Ghost by David Pepose – A Bold & Modern Revival | Dynamite Entertainment

David Pepose’s Space Ghost is a stellar example of how to resurrect a beloved classic with a modern twist. Dynamite Entertainment has taken the timeless hero from the Hanna-Barbera archives and crafted a story that both honors its origins and feels refreshingly new. Pepose expertly weaves a tale that retains the adventurous spirit of the original while injecting deeper character development, a more intricate plot, and contemporary themes.





The narrative dives into the backstory of Space Ghost with greater emotional depth, exploring the psychological toll of being a lone protector of the cosmos. Pepose balances high-octane action with quieter, reflective moments that humanize the iconic character. This duality makes the story resonate with long-time fans who grew up with Space Ghost while being accessible to new readers.


The nostalgia is palpable, but it never overshadows the storytelling. Familiar elements, such as his iconic power bands and the sleek Phantom Cruiser, are seamlessly integrated into a darker, more cinematic universe. These callbacks evoke warm memories for fans of the original show, but they’re not mere fan service—they serve the story and enhance its emotional weight.


Dynamite’s work on Jonny Quest and now Space Ghost signals a bright future for other Hanna-Barbera properties. The updated tone and mature storytelling applied to these classics could breathe new life into characters like The Herculoids, Birdman, or even The Impossibles. If Dynamite continues this trend, they could become the go-to publisher for reimagining the Hanna-Barbera universe in a way that appeals to both nostalgic fans and modern comic enthusiasts.


In Space Ghost, Pepose and Dynamite Entertainment demonstrate a masterful understanding of how to blend reverence for the past with a vision for the future, creating a story that feels both timeless and timely. This comic is a must-read for fans of classic heroes and those eager to see what new heights nostalgia can reach in the hands of skilled storytellers.
