Hello, seeker!

THE APOCOLYTE!
Alex Toth was the artist behind some of the 60's and 70's coolest animated series'. Let us take a few moments and peek at some of the many storyboards, layouts, and character designs he did for some of Hanna-Barbera's greatest cartoons ever, namely THE HERCULOIDS, SPACE GHOST, BIRDMAN, SUPER FRIENDS, MIGHTOR, THE FANTASTIC FOUR, SPACE ANGEL, and more!
Though it isn't black and white, I decided to show you this fascinating early concept of the HERCULOIDS, with Zandor (then Zartan) and clan riding on flying, double-trunked mastedons, Dumbo style!

In the early stages of the Herculoids, the name of the series was tentatively called ZARTAN, a thinly veiled play on the name TARZAN, which eventually was nixed. Zartan then became ZANDOR, and the show became THE HERCULOIDS.
Simply Fantastic!
Never saw the Birdman sheet before. Wayyyyyyyy cool, but you can never go wrong with Alex Toth.
