1968 - Saturday Morning Comics

The Speakers of Geek tackle the trend of cartoons turned comics in this Saturday Morning Comics episode! Along with special guest Jimmy “The Napkin Guy” Ettele, we give our thoughts on a number of first issues from Mad Cave Studios (Gatchaman, Flash Gordon, Defenders of the Earth), Dynamite (Space Ghost, Jonny Quest, ThunderCats, ThunderCats: Cheetara) and Oni Press (Biker Mice From Mars, RoboForce). We pick our favorite reads, compare titles to the original cartoons, sing the praises of artists such as Jonathan Lau, Will Conrad and Sebastian Piriz, list a bunch of cartoons ready to make the jump to comics and more!
