While Captain Planet was on TBS and syndication in the early 90's, Marvel Comics had a license to adapt the series, which lasted a year on the shelves.
Dynamite Entertainment is hoping for more than that to mark the Captain's 35th anniversary.
In April, Captain Planet joins Dynamite's star-studded lineup of licensed titles, but, given the problems that Diamond Distributors, which owns Dynamite, is having of late, having recently filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, it's not guaranteed.
Writer David Pepose, already having reimagined Space Ghost, hopes to do the same with Captain Planet.
To remind you of the glory days, here's a clip of Captain Planet (David Coburn) battling Captain Pollution (Coburn again).
Come April, you'll see that the mullet has been replaced with a beard. So 21st century. The new book debuts during Earth Day week in late April.
