Cartoon Research presents "Clutch Cargo's Adventure Log Book." It was promoted as television's "first moving comic strip." In the 60 years since Cambria Studios' Clutch Cargo series made its debut, it is perhaps best known by animation historians as the cartoon with talking human mouths superimposed on static art. This book takes a look not only at the adventures of Clutch, Spinner, and Paddlefoot, but at the real action going on behind the scenes. It's how studio owner, Ritchard Brown, along with comics artist Clark Haas, and inventor and photographer Edwin Gillette, pulled off the most amazing feat of early TV animation, and with virtually no budget. Witness the innovation, ingenuity, and creativity that brought this action hero to life on TV screens across the United States of America. This book contains an interview with the voice of Spinner and Paddlefoot, Margaret Kerry, previously published interview content with key players, original sketches, animation cel art, complete episode guide, and more.

A young man seeks vengeance against the man who killed his parents in this action-packed science fiction thriller series opener. It is the distant future. The world known as Virga is a fullerene balloon three thousand kilometers in diameter, filled with air, water, and aimlessly floating chunks of rock. The humans who live in this vast environment must build their own fusion suns and “towns” that are in the shape of enormous wood and rope wheels that are spun for gravity. Young, fit, bitter, and friendless, Hayden Griffin is a very dangerous man. He’s come to the city of Rush in the nation of Slipstream with one thing in mind: to take murderous revenge for the deaths of his parents six years ago. His target is Admiral Chaison Fanning, head of the fleet of Slipstream, which conquered Hayden’s nation of Aerie years ago. And the fact that Hayden’s spent his adolescence living with pirates doesn’t bode well for Fanning’s chances . . .
