About the series
In the mid-1980s, Comico brought the classic animated adventure team of Jonny Quest, his scientist father Dr. Benton Quest, bodyguard Race Bannon, and the resourceful Hadji back to comics, joined by the dog Bandit and the enigmatic Jezebel Jade. Across 31 issues, writers William Messner-Loebs, Howard Whitman, and Diana Schutz, alongside artists Marc Hempel, Mark Wheatley, and Bill Willingham, crafted globe-trotting tales that balanced pulp-style danger with a slightly darker, more mature edge than the original cartoon. This series stands out for its distinctive, offbeat visual style and its willingness to explore the characters' world with a fresh, early-modern sensibility.
