YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN… OR CAN YOU?
Get ready to climb aboard the Sea Quest and embark for adventure once more! Legendary boy explorer JONNY QUEST is back, along with his intrepid scientist dad Dr. Benton Quest, bodyguard “Race” Bannon, adopted brother Hadji, and all the rest of the beloved cast from the classic animated series!
Launching out of its issue #0 prelude story in Dynamite’s 2024 Free Comic Book Day release, this action-packed new title begins where the show left off in 1964, but things quickly take a turn for the uncanny as they team returns from an experiment at sea to their home base in Palm Key, only to discover that the once-familiar landscape is now strangely, disquietingly different!
Superstar writer JOE CASEY (Superman, Ben 10) and powerhouse artist SEBASTIÁN PIRIZ (We Ride Titans, Deadweights) join together to bring you the brand-new tales of Jonny and the Quest team that the world has been waiting for – all enhanced by fully frameable covers from CHAD HARDIN, TOM RANEY, RICHARD PACE, and BOB LAYTON!
“Jonny Quest #1” published by Dynamite Entertainment delivers a nostalgic yet fresh journey for fans of the classic animated series. Written by Joe Casey and illustrated by Sebastián Piriz, this issue picks up seamlessly where the original show left off, capturing the essence of the 1960s adventure that many hold dear. The story wastes no time diving into a mystery that unsettles the familiar surroundings of Palm Key, keeping readers hooked from start to finish.
What makes this issue stand out is how it balances modern storytelling with the charm of the original series. The artwork, particularly by Sebastián Piriz, reflects the art of the old Jonny Quest cartoon, making it feel like a natural continuation rather than a reboot. Chad Hardin’s cover art also contributes to this sense of continuity, with a design that echoes the spirit of the classic show.
For those who grew up watching Jonny, Hadji, Race Bannon, and Dr. Quest, this comic feels like a welcome homecoming. The creative team successfully recaptures the adventurous tone while introducing enough twists to keep things intriguing. As the first issue of a new series, it sets up future stories in a way that honors the legacy of the original while opening doors to new adventures.
If you’ve been longing for a return to the world of Jonny Quest, this issue delivers everything you could hope for, making it a great start to what promises to be an exciting new series.
