In large part, this is due to the artistic input of comic book veteran Alex Toth...who, on staff with Hanna-Barbera as a designer and idea man, is generally credited with having created Space Ghost. |archive-date=November 5, 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20131105094114/http://www.toonopedia.com/spacegh.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

In his original incarnation, he was a superhero who, with his teen sidekicks, Jan and Jace, and Blip the monkey, fought [[supervillain]]s in [[outer space]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Erickson |first=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |edition=2nd |pages=767–770}}</ref> In the 1990s, Space Ghost was brought back as a host for his own fictional late-night [[talk show]], ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'', on [[Cartoon Network]], [[Adult Swim]] and [[GameTap]]. In the 2000s, he was revamped as a serious superhero once again in a mini-series by [[DC Comics]].
