Scooby Apocalypse and Hanna-Barbera Preview Edition #1 – Halloween ComicFest – 2016 offers readers a special glimpse into the reimagined worlds of some of Hanna-Barbera’s most iconic characters, delivered with a modern, edgy twist. Released as part of Halloween ComicFest 2016, this preview edition serves as both a collectible and a striking introduction to an ambitious creative direction for classic properties.

The highlight of this issue is a first look at Scooby Apocalypse, a bold reinvention of the beloved Scooby-Doo franchise, penned by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, with artwork from Howard Porter. This updated storyline places Scooby, Velma, Shaggy, Daphne, and Fred in a dystopian setting where a global nanite plague has transformed humanity into monsters. The creative team injects the familiar mystery-solving crew with deeper characterisation and more mature themes, offering long-time fans something fresh while drawing in new readers.

Alongside Scooby Apocalypse, this preview edition teases other daring reinterpretations from the Hanna-Barbera Beyond line, including updated versions of The Flintstones, Wacky Raceland, and Future Quest. The preview format gives a compelling taste of the diverse creative approaches, with artwork and snippets that reflect the wide tonal range—from satirical to action-packed—found in these revivals.

The issue is printed with vibrant colours and sharp detailing, making it a great collector’s piece for fans of reboots and retro properties alike. As a limited ComicFest edition, it holds extra appeal for collectors seeking exclusivity and early glimpses of franchise evolution.

Your comic will be enclosed in a clear, acid-free protective sleeve and reinforced with a sturdy backing board to preserve condition and prevent warping or corner wear. It is then securely packed in a robust cardboard mailer designed for comics, offering full protection in transit. Orders are dispatched promptly to ensure swift, safe delivery.

Scooby Apocalypse and Hanna-Barbera Preview Edition #1 – 2016 is a must-have entry point into a world where nostalgic characters meet bold, modern storytelling—perfect for collectors and curious new readers alike.
