Comics author Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Punisher) teams with acclaimed artist Mauricet (Harley Quinn) for an all-new adventure showcasing the classic Hanna-Barbera heavies as youÕve never seen them before! In the rogue state of Unliklistan, a cutting-edge nuclear power plant is about to go on-lineÑbut it turns out that the ultra-rare element unstabilium is a bad choice for reactor fuel. In the ensuing explosion, exotic isotopes are loosed upon an unsuspecting worldÑand the results are cartoonishly catastrophic! Spread by a mysteriously unstoppable Predator drone, the farcical fallout is turning men into beasts, beasts into men and the President of the United States into a raving lunatic! Only two menÑpersonsÑwhatevers stand in the way of total global meltdown: Lieutenant Colonel Richard ÒDickÓ Atcherly and Captain Dudley ÒMuttÓ Muller! These fearless, feckless, 50 percent furry fighter pilots must take to the skies in their flying machines to stop the rogue PredatorÕs radioactive cargo from destroying civilization as we collectively pretend to know it! Collecting the entire six-issue miniseries, Dastardly & Muttley is a zany military satire like no other, mashing up Animal Farm, Dr. Strangelove and Wacky Races in the same anything-goes spirit as the smash-hit Flintstones series!

Book Description
Once consigned almost exclusively to Saturday morning fare for young viewers, television animation has evolved over the last several decades as a programming form to be reckoned with. While many animated shows continue to entertain tots, the form also reaches a much wider audience, engaging viewers of all ages. Whether aimed at toddlers, teens, or adults, animated shows reflect an evolving expression of sophisticated wit, adult humor, and a variety of artistic techniques and styles. The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Series encompasses animated programs broadcast in the United States and Canada since 1948. From early cartoon series like Crusader Rabbit, Rocky and His Friends, and The Flintstones to 21st century stalwarts like The Simpsons, South Park, and Spongebob Squarepants, the wide range of shows can be found in this volume. Series from many networks—such as Comedy Central, the Disney Channel, Nickleodeon, and Cartoon Network— are included, representing both the diversity of programming and the broad spectrum of viewership. Each entry includes a list of cast and characters, credit information, a brief synopsis of the series, and a critical analysis. Additional details include network information and broadcast history. The volume also features one hundred images and an introduction containing an historical overview of animated programming since the inception of television. Highlighting an extensive array of shows from Animaniacs and Archer to The X-Men and Yogi Bear, The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Series is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of this constantly expanding art form.
