A Hanna-Barbera Halloween (Or Close Enough)
There weren't a lot (if any) specifically Halloween-themed Hanna-Barbera comic books but there were plenty that fit the macabre mood, especially with Scooby Doo on board. Here are three favorites: the monster-movie themed cover from Scooby Doo Mystery Comics # 21 from October 1973 (from the Gold Key era; thankfully [and incredibly] Scooby Doo is still being published today); a tale of the Headless Horseman from the comic based on the underrated Funky Phantom show, issue # 2, June 1972; and Magilla Gorilla # 9 from October 1966.This Halloween post is part of the Countdown to Halloween 2012 blog-a-thon, adding fun to your October festivities all month long.
I love Magilla Gorilla!! I totally would have bought him.
