Jan

Jan is one of two young wards who accompany the cosmic hero Space Ghost in his adventures across the universe, first appearing in the 1967 DC comic adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera animated series.

Born in the Silver Age alongside one of Hanna-Barbera's most iconic cosmic heroes, Jan made their comic book debut in Space Ghost #1 in 1967, brought to life on the page by artist Dan Spiegle. Across nearly six decades of publication, Jan has kept remarkable company — sharing adventures with Space Ghost, Jace, and the beloved cast of Jonny Quest's world in titles like Future Quest and Future Quest Presents, the DC line that wove Hanna-Barbera's animated universe into a rich, cohesive comics mythology. With a key issue already to their name and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2026, Jan is a character whose longevity speaks for itself — a Silver Age original still finding new readers in the modern era.
