DC and Hanna-Barbera seem to be one of those pairings that go together like peanut butter and jelly. Whether it's the Superfriends cartoon in the seventies or the modern Hanna-Barbera comics by DC, their partnership has certainly been a long-lasting one.
Superfriends was Hanna-Barbera's biggest foray into the world of DC, but it wasn't their first try by any means. Did you know that Doug Wildey, best known for his work on Jonny Quest, worked on a few concept pitches based on DC heroes? Take a look below at his take on The Flash and Green Lantern. Apologies for the "eBay" watermarks.
As a big fan of Wildey's work, both on and off Jonny Quest, I really dig these pieces. At the very least, they beat the Superfriends any day. There's no info about when these were pitched, but I must imagine it was sometime after Quest ended, but before Filmation did their own take on the DC heroes. Who knows how either of these shows would've turned out, but I can't imagine they'd have been worse than what we actually got.
