Description

D.C. Comics. November, 1997.

This Scooby-Doo series, put out by D.C. Comics in 1997, was the first comic book I had a subscription to. It ran for 157 issues and is the longest running Scooby-Doo title ever published. Joe Staton's lengthy stint as cover artist started with this very issue. His inking is crisp and clean and there's not a drop of white out to be found on the page. I was turning 7 when this issue was on the stands which makes this piece hit the nostalgic sweet spot.

I created archival stats on an overlay to give the piece it's published context.

I'd love to find the covers to issues 1 & 2!

The DC checkerboard tradition lives on! The overlay in b&w is makes more sense for this than the published colors. Staton's art takes animated properties to capture just the key static scenes.

Staton was the perfect artist for Scooby-Doo, and this is a sensational example of his work.
