Bandit

Bandit is the small, scrappy dog companion of Jonny Quest, sharing adventures alongside Jonny, Hadji, Race Bannon, and Dr. Benton Quest in the Hanna-Barbera universe.

Few characters can claim a debut in the gleefully chaotic world of Hanna-Barbera's Bronze Age comics and still be turning up in pages nearly five decades later, but Bandit has done exactly that — first bounding onto the scene in Laff-A-Lympics #6 in 1978, courtesy of creator Art Scott. This plucky little presence has kept remarkable company across the years, sharing adventures with the likes of Jonny Quest, Hadji, Race Bannon, and Doctor Benton Quest through titles like Jonny Quest, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, and the fan-beloved Future Quest. With 44 catalog appearances spanning from the Bronze Age all the way to 2026 and a key issue to their name, Bandit is a testament to the enduring warmth readers feel for the classic Hanna-Barbera universe — a small but tenacious fixture in some genuinely exciting comics real estate.
