Scooby-Doo #59

On the cover — penciled by Joe Staton and inked by Dave Hunt — a snarling blue monster in a red coat lunges at a wide-eyed Shaggy, who frantically swings a chain of linked sausages like a makeshift weapon while Scooby-Doo cowers nervously at his feet. Shaggy's speech bubble perfectly captures the gang's signature brand of accidental heroism: "L-like, en garde — and hold the onions!" This 2002 DC/Cartoon Network entry pairs that classic mix of laughs and spooky thrills that makes Scooby-Doo such a reliable good time, and the interior story, "Ghouls on Film," promises more mystery-and-mayhem fun from writer Frank Strom and the art team of Staton and Dave Hunt.
