Fans of Hanna-Barbera titles like WACKY RACELAND, THE FLINTSTONES, FUTURE QUEST and SCOOBY APOCALYPSE will see their favorite cartoon characters team up with some of DC’s greatest superheroes in a series of Annuals, all on sale March 29, 2017. In addition to these over the top, wild adventures, fans will get a sneak peek at what’s upcoming from DC’s new takes on classic Hanna-Barbera animated characters.



ADAM STRANGE/FUTURE QUEST ANNUAL #1
Written by Marc Andreyko and Jeff Parker
Art by Steve Lieber

Backup Feature: TOP CAT
Written by Dan DiDio
Art by Phil Winslade

Following the events of the DEATH OF HAWKMAN miniseries, Adam Strange is blasted through multiple dimensions only to land on Earth! But instead of super powered beings and legendary crime fighters, he encounters a boy adventurer and his scientist father – and they’re the only ones who can help him return home. Jonny Quest, Hadji, Dr. Benton Quest and Race Bannon have a plan, but it’s going to involve a dangerous trek through Dino Boy’s Lost Valley of prehistoric threats!

And in the backup feature starring Top Cat, breaking out of prison is challenging enough for an anthropomorphic cat, but what happens when it means stumbling through a cosmic portal to planet Earth, right into the hands of Batman?



BOOSTER GOLD/THE FLINTSTONES ANNUAL #1
Written by Mark Russell
Art by Rick Leonardi and Scott Hanna

Backup Feature: THE JETSONS
Written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti
Art by Pier Brito

Welcome to the 25th Century, where the Earth is a polluted, post-industrial nightmare, most animals are extinct and reptilian aliens are invading cities across the planet! In their time of need, the world’s citizens turn to the time-traveling Booster Gold to save the day. To learn why these aliens are attacking Earth, Booster dives deep into the prehistoric past to see what happened when they first came to the planet. In this bygone era, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble must help Booster learn the truth and return to his own time armed with the information that will bring down the invaders – if Booster can convince them to help him out.

Harley Quinn’s Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti put a new twist on an old twist about our future in THE JETSONS! The Jetsons live in a world of robotics and gadgetry. But how does dying change when grandma’s brain can be digitally imprinted onto a housecleaning robot?



GREEN LANTERN/SPACE GHOST ANNUAL #1
Written by James Tynion IV and Chris Sebela
Art by Ariel Olivetti

Backup Feature: RUFF AND REDDY
Story and art by Howard Chaykin

Trapped in a strange rift in time, Green Lantern and Space Ghost are forced to battle a variety of foes – and each other! And even if they manage to survive, they will be thrown into a world with no concept of interstellar travel – or even what an alien is! Stripped of their weapons by a xenophobic culture, the duo will have to battle to regain them – but what happens when Space Ghost dons the Lantern Ring and Hal Jordan puts on the Power Bands?

Iconic writer Howard Chaykin puts a modern spin on one of Hanna-Barbera’s earliest animated animal teams! Ruff and Reddy were once the toast of nightclubs, variety shows late night chat fests and Broadway. Learn how they became the comedic duo of yesterday… Before they hit rock bottom today!

SUICIDE SQUAD/BANANA SPLITS ANNUAL #1
Written by Tony Bedard
Art by Ben Caldwell

Backup Feature: SNAGGLEPUSS
Written by Mark Russell
Art by Dale Eaglesham

“Suicide Splits” pairs up Saturday morning’s animal rock band with Amanda Waller’s Task Force X, the dirtiest players in the game! Mistaken for metahumans and thrown into the bowels of Belle Reve Penitentiary, the Banana Splits are recruited by Amanda Waller for a secret mission: Save the Suicide Squad! What follows is quite possibly the weirdest team up ever; how will Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky stand up to Harley, Deadshot, Katana and Killer Croc?
Mark Russell brings his hilariously satirical style to this backup feature, where Snagglepuss is a Southern gothic playwright working with an ensemble cast of cultural figures, exploring an intensely creative time in the New York City theater scene of the 1950’s.

If I can afford to give them a try in March than I'm interested in the Suicide Squad and the Booster Gold ones.

[Icefan]

Definitely will pick up Booster Gold/Flintstones and Green Lantern/Space Ghost.

[gwangung]

Um. Can I say these look REALLLLLLLY cool?

[Johnny]

GL/Star Trek, GL/Planet of the Apes, GL/Space Ghost? Dang DC!

[RolandGunner]

Sounds awesome! Gonna get Adam Strange, Booster Gold, and maybe the Suicide Squad one. Would love to get Green Lantern / Space Ghost but Olivetti is one of my least favorite artists out there.

[Jenn]

These look really sweet! Definitely getting Booster Gold/Flinstones and probably Adam Strange/Future Quest as well if my wallet can take it.

[Frontier]

Boo, they spoiled the end of the Death of Hawkman (partial sarcasm) .

DC does the best crossovers. I don't know what I'm more interested in though, the actual crossovers (Booster!) or the backups .

GL/Star Trek, GL/Planet of the Apes, GL/Space Ghost? Dang DC!

Well, fans keep complaining about the lack of GL in the movies, so they may as well compensate with the comics .

[Kuwagaton]

The only HB title I read is Future Quest, but I'm willing to try these others. Neat stuff.

The only HB title I read is Future Quest, but I'm willing to try these others. Neat stuff.

Flintstones has been beautifully opinionated, at the very least, and pretty dang funny. The marriage issue killed me.

That and Scooby Apocalypse have been the two I actively keep an eye out for.

[Kuwagaton]

Those are the two I've been on the edge of trying, were it not for my budget and making sure I could find each back issue. These annuals seem like a decent test for trade shopping.

[RobinFan4880]

Totally buying Booster Gold/Flintstones!

[Maxi]

So Adam Strange is going back to his Planet Heist costume? That's great. I like the current design, but that one is the best he's ever looked IMO.

And Space Ghost/Green Lantern looks fantastic.

[The Odd Man]

I want all of these!
