Space
Ghost is one of the most popular superheroes
to come out of Saturday morning and is still
watched by many children today. Unlike comic
book heroes, Space Ghost originated on television,
embodying animation in the 60’s. Legendary animator
Alex Toth's use of bright colors, sleek lines
and an almost sinister costume gave Space Ghost
an undefinable hipness that TV watchers immediately
clung to. The hero's name stemmed from the fact
that he was able to make himself invisible through
the use of high-tech wizardry. He could also
shoot heat rays, cold rays and plain old power
blasts from the bands on his wrists.

In
the cartoon industry, Space Ghost is almost
single-handedly responsible for the popularity
of superhero cartoons in the 60's. The series
was drawn so well and the stories were so imaginative
that kids were glued to CBS every Saturday morning.
This success forced the other networks to develop
superhero shows like Superman in order to battle
the mighty Space Ghost.
