Are there any comics or old cartoons that look like space ghost?
You know, stylized iconic designs that are still relatively adherent to realism and don't go full calarts cartoon. Stuff like Venture Bros and old Hanna Barbera action shows. I just really love this style and I feel like it's underutilized, now people usually go the animu route when making stylized but realistic cartoons.

I'll post some character sheets I guess
I guess I'm looking for Alex Toth or jack Kirby esque stuff

Am I the only one that hated Brak in C2C? I found him terribly annoying
Most of this obviously

I fucking LOVE me some Herculoids.
The Secret Saturdays. Don't listen to Sup Forums, listen to me: it's pretty good. The second season is much better, granted, and there's a lot of one-off episodes, but the main villain is one of the coolest and most entertaining in animation. It's an absolute crime that he's not more widely known.
Also, don't look up spoilers.
Yeah, I think it's cause he didn't really have a strong enough personality to translate into c2c. Zorak was a shifty shitter, molar was kind of a schmuck in a suit, space ghost was full of himself, but brake was just... they went somewhere else with brak, I feel like he was like prototype meatwad personalitywise, with the whole savvy loveable retard thing. Just not nearly as good.
Chris Roberson's Mysterious Strangers (from Oni)
obviously most Mike Allred capeshit: Madman, iZombie, FF (Future Foundation), Batman 66, even his Silver Surfer with Slott
all of the Jeff Parker / Evan Shaner collabs: Convergence Shazam, their Flash Gordon books for Dynamite and of course their upcoming Future Quest boom from DC
I think the same goes for the Mark Waid / Chris Samnee Daredevil and Black Widow books
Tom Scioloi's GI Joe vs Transformers for IDW
Alan Moore's Tom Strong
Frank Espinosa's Rocketo from Image (if its still in print)
some of the goofier retro licensed crossover books: Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes, Star Trek/Planet of the Apes
Space Riders from Black Mask Studios
Godland and any other Tom Scioli
Nightworld from Image Comics
And even tho its not quite the style, the Grayson book from DC is great modern spy-fi
GREETINGS AND BIENVENUE...
Such a bastard.
I fucking love that series.
Finally, someone sensible. Most people from here seem to reject it wholesale or claim Drew was the only redeemable thing about it. I've been yearning for a new Argost since the series was canned. He was so well written, usually managing to come out on top, but being handed an actual defeat every now and then to keep things interesting. And so very classy, at that.

Shit, I used to daydream about sneaking out of school in their shrinking car.
Slightly off topic, but I never understood how people were so comfortable with the rather abrupt change from the realistic style of most 80s-mid-90s cartoons to the "stylized" (mostly easier to draw) stuff that appeared in all but a few shows.
Batman: Brave & the Bold
shit there was already a massively abrupt change WITHIN the shows. you had the more realistic characters like fred and daphne right alongside goofy as fuck looking shit like scooby.. or space ghost vs most of the shit he fought. or the weirdass monsters they put into the star trek cartoon.. or the bizarre animals in sealab or johnny quest.. that kinda shit. i guess it was no different from disney having its snow whites alongside its dwarves, even as far as gaston vs lefou.. and really, zelda games still do that shit all over the place. i dunno.
anyway i think they were happy the new simpler shit was more on-model and had a fuck of a lot better animation, because the realistic toy-driven 80s cartoons usually had fantastic models but, just like the comic-accurate cape shows from the 60s, cruddy animation. better to have a fleischeresque batman that can actually throw some punches

Brak was suppose to be like Beavis and Butthead, but they basically turned him into your typical lolsorandom character before it truly took off
