"S From Hell/Spiral" logo out on their promotional paper in the first picture with the connect-the dots drawings of Quick--Draw, Augie, and Snooper the cat. It's been said on the web site that Jackie Cooper (then a fill-in VP for SG after former executive William Dozier left for greener pastures with his Greenway Productions and "Batman" in December 1964) that commissioned that familiar logo that (supposedly) scared a generation of kids enough for Rodney Arscher to do a 2010 film about it. Over in Detroit, first Channel 7, WXYZ (an ABC affiliate) showed these repackaged repeats in syndicated times, and then around 1968, Channel 50,WDBK, a UHF outlet owned at one time by Fox, then UPN, then CW, and still in existence after 50 years of service, started showing the Hanna Barbera/Screen Gems distributed repeats. This lasted until the early 1980's, when USA TV started showing them under the "Huckleberry Hound" umbrella and a separate "Quick Draw" re-package with the SG logo removed and replaced by the 1979 H-B swirling star logo. The "Quick Draw" re-package showed up again in 1990 on Pat Robertson's Family/CBN station with no opening and closing bumpers at all. It all gets confusing after 50 years of repeats. I still see the other H-B related merchandise in various flea markets and thrift stores (in various conditions, usually without the original package box when they were originally manufactured in 1960; if rarely found with a package or better yet, still unopened, expect price values to skyrocket.) These are really neat promo paraphernalia, Yowp. Keep up the lucky finds. The original storyboards from H-B's desks alone must be worth a small fortune.

There were many Huck items where he was colored red instead of blue.

Perhaps the best artist ever to render classic Hanna-Barbera characters. <br /><br />John Carey, aside from his animation credits, drew lots of favorite characters in the Dell and Gold Key comics from the ‘50s thru the ‘80s. Woody Woodpecker, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Donald Duck, and even Winnie the Pooh! <br /><br />Norm McGary was an illustrator for Little Golden Books, also under the same publishing umbrella as Dell and Gold Key comics.<br /><br />And Steve Steere is known for inking Tony Strobl’s pencils over Strobl’s long run on the Donald Duck comic book! Might have inked Strobl on The Jetsons as well, for all we know. <br /><br />Glad to see their names turn up here! <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
