More DC/Hanna-Barbera Crossovers from DC in October, Including Yogi Bear, Magilla Gorilla, More

More classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon properties are crossing over with DC Comics characters this fall, via a series of one-shots announced in a press release Monday. Each 48-page comic will cost five bucks, and if you thought you were smarter than the average bear and you could get away without buying all four, you're out of luck. In addition to the regular stories, the four one-shots will each feature a chapter of a Secret Squirrel story running through all four titles by J.M. DeMatteis and Tom Mandrake. Sorry about your wallets, but that's just the way it is.

Check out the solicits below.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the early 1970s, Green Lantern and Huckleberry Hound join forces to take a stand on the issues of that era. Returning from recent duty in Vietnam, veteran Marine John Stewart—now a member of the Green Lantern Corps—contemplates what, if anything, he should do about the issues tearing his country apart. Meanwhile, Huckleberry's comments against the Vietnam war have left him a celebrity outcast, and a visit back home to Mississippi puts him face to face with the Civil Rights Movement. What can one man—and one hound—do?
