Jonny Quest Turns 50!

On this day 50 years ago, the first episode (but not the first one produced) of Jonny Quest (created by comic book artist Doug Wildey) "The Mystery of The Lizard Men" aired on ABC. That's right everybody, Jonny Quest turned 50 today! Definitely one the best animated action series to exist.  The animation was great, it felt like a living comic book. Great layouts, storylines, characters, villains, and a amazing score from Hoyt Curtin. Happy 50th Jonny. More posts soon!

New Regular Show/Curse of Anubis

Hey everyone! The Giants won the super bowl! And that here was a riot in Boston. Anyway, new Regular Show tonight! It's called "Skips vs. Technology". Skips lacks computer skills and can't help Mordecai and Rigby master technology. Also, here's the Jonny Quest episode, "Curse of Anubis:. I had this up on it's own post, but the video got deleted, so I decided to put it up on this post. I might fix the other one later. Dr. Quest's old friend (who has turned Arab nationalist revolutionary) attempts to frame him for a crime, committed by him. But the mummy of Egyptian god Anubis is alive, and is is stalking him (his servants see Anubis, but Dr. Ahmed Kareem doesn't see Anubis). The episode is pretty good. CHECK IT OUT!

Jonny Quest's Gold Key One-Shot

Back in '64 (the debut year of Jonny Quest), Gold Key Comics (who made comics of multiple licensed characters, their own series, and re-prints of things that came from Dell Comics "Four Color" (when Dell and Western Publishing were partners)) published a one shot (1 issue comic book) about the first episode "The Mystery of the Lizard Men". The comic is extremely rare and is a hard find. Here's a picture of the front and back cover:

I'm not sure who did the artwork, and I'm not sure if it's Doug Wildey (the shows creator and comic book artist). I did like The episode, and thought it was pretty good. I've never read the book, but thanks to ClassicJonnyQuest.com, they give you a page and some extra stuff. Here's a page:



Also here's the characters page. Hadji wasn't in the episode so here's not on the page, but on the cover, there's a box that has the characters on it, including Hadji.

Pretty cool, huh? Here ClassicJonnyQuest.com's article about the comic: Classic Jonny Quest's Article about the Comic . More Jonny Quest Soon!
