Hanna-Barbera Beyond
Dastardly & Muttley
Comics author Garth Ennis ( Preacher, The Punisher ) teams with acclaimed artist Mauricet ( Harley Quinn ) for an all-new adventure showcasing the classic Hanna-Barbera heavies as you've never seen them before!
In the rogue state of Unliklistan, a cutting-edge nuclear power plant is about to go on-line--but it turns out that the ultra-rare element unstabilium is a bad choice for reactor fuel. In the ensuing explosion, exotic isotopes are loosed upon an unsuspecting world--and the results are cartoonishly catastrophic! Spread by a mysteriously unstoppable Predator drone, the farcical fallout is turning men into beasts, beasts into men and the President of the United States into a raving lunatic!
Only two men--persons--whatevers stand in the way of total global Lieutenant Colonel Richard "Dick" Atcherly and Captain Dudley "Mutt" Muller! These fearless, feckless, 50 percent furry fighter pilots must take to the skies in their flying machines to stop the rogue Predator's radioactive cargo from destroying civilization as we collectively pretend to know it!
Collecting the entire six-issue miniseries, Dastardly & Muttley is a zany military satire like no other, mashing up Animal Farm, Dr. Strangelove and Wacky Races in the same anything-goes spirit as the smash-hit Flintstones series!

About the author
Garth Ennis
2,659 books3,230 followersEnnis began his comic-writing career in 1989 with the series Troubled Souls. Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'. It spawned a sequel, For a Few Troubles More, a broad Belfast-based comedy featuring two supporting characters from Troubled Souls, Dougie and Ivor, who would later get their own American comics series, Dicks, from Caliber in 1997, and several follow-ups from Avatar.
Another series for Crisis was True Faith, a religious satire inspired by his schooldays, this time drawn by Warren Pleece. Ennis shortly after began to write for Crisis' parent publication, 2000 AD. He quickly graduated on to the title's flagship character, Judge Dredd, taking over from original creator John Wagner for a period of several years.
Ennis' first work on an American comic came in 1991 when he took over DC Comics's horror title Hellblazer, which he wrote until 1994, and for which he currently holds the title for most issues written. Steve Dillon became the regular artist during the second half of Ennis's run.
Ennis' landmark work to date is the 66-issue epic Preacher, which he co-created with artist Steve Dillon. Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for God who has abandoned his creation.
While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire.
Other comic projects Ennis wrote during this time period include Goddess, Bloody Mary, Unknown Soldier, and Pride & Joy, all for DC/Vertigo, as well as origin stories for The Darkness for Image Comics and Shadowman for Valiant Comics.
After the end of Hitman, Ennis was lured to Marvel Comics with the promise from Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada that he could write The Punisher as long as he cared to. Instead of largely comical tone of these issues, he decided to make a much more serious series, re-launched under Marvel's MAX imprint.
In 2001 he briefly returned to UK comics to write the epic Helter Skelter for Judge Dredd.
Other comics Ennis has written include War Story (with various artists) for DC; The Pro for Image Comics; The Authority for Wildstorm; Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Press, and 303, Chronicles of Wormwood (a six issue mini-series about the Antichrist), and a western comic book, Streets of Glory for Avatar Press.
In 2008 Ennis ended his five-year run on Punisher MAX to debut a new Marvel title, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle.
In June 2008, at Wizard World, Philadelphia, Ennis announced several new projects, including a metaseries of war comics called Battlefields from Dynamite made up of mini-series including Night Witches, Dear Billy and Tankies, another Chronicles of Wormwood mini-series and Crossed both at Avatar, a six-issue miniseries about Butcher (from The Boys) and a Punisher project reuniting him with artist Steve Dillon (subsequently specified to be a weekly mini-series entitled Punisher: War Zone, to be released concurrently with the film of the same name).

A fake country that has never existed has its nuclear reactor explode, leading to the military sending a drone in to find out what happened. When the drone disappears, a recon team is sent to investigate. What the two men find is not what they were expecting, and they are soon morphed into two cartoonish characters that may or may not be the title of the book.
This is one of the most absurd and insane books I have ever read. 100% not for everyone, but a fun mashup of Dr. Strangelove, Lovecraftian horror, and a military procedural. I can see why these Hanna Barbera books didn’t take off, but they are pretty damn fun to read.
All 6 issues were fucking hilarious, and the perfect mash of Ennis’ war comics with his tongue-biting satire. It’s very different from what you would expect a book about Dastardly & Muttley to be about, but it is about what you could expect from a Hanna-Barbera book written by Garth Ennis.
The art by Mauricet is perfect, with his cartoonish, Looney Tunes-esque characters looking perfect next to the normally rendered humans.
That ending is also one of the most cynical things I have ever read in my entire life, but I sort of love it. Another home run from Ennis IMO, but this seems to be a YMMV kinda book. I still recommend it to any Ennis fans though.

Who are these Hanna-Barbera comics for? The ones that worked for me stick close to the original premise like Scooby Doo and Future Quest. This isn't for fans of Wacky Races or Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. It has absolutely nothing to do with those except there is eventually Dick Dastardly and Muttley named characters in the book.
The premise is that some made up Middle eastern country blows itself up with an element that makes cartoons real. Somehow a drone starts farting this chemical out around the world changing people into cartoons. Our pilots fly through the cloud, one of which has their dog with them (Yeah, it's REALLY stupid!) and merges with the dog while the other gets an evil mustache. Need I even go on? It just continues to descend into nonsense from there. The problem is it's not in the least bit funny. I can't believe Garth Ennis wrote this garbage. He typically has a biting wit that I can't get enough of.

DC's modern, adult updates of the Hanna-Barbera Universe have not worked for me at all, but I wanted to try one more before giving up since it was written by Garth Ennis, a long-time favorite of mine. I shouldn't have bothered though.
I'm not very familiar with the Dick Dastardly and Muttley characters as I never watched Wacky Races or their spin-off show when I was a kid. I thought they were in the background sometimes during the Laff-a-Lympics cartoon back in the late 1970s, but a quick Google search reveals that Hanna-Barbera actually created a couple of knock-offs for that called Mumbly and the Dread Baron because rights weren't available for Muttley and Dick Dastardly at the time. So, no, I have no attachment at all.
And Ennis does little to make me feel attached. Lt. Colonel Richard "Dick" Atcherly and Captain Dudley "Mutt" Muller are U.S. Air Force officers investigating a nuclear explosion in a foreign country when they encounter a drone that is magically transforming those who come into contact with it into cartoon characters. So Muller gets a dog head and Atcherly starts vamping like an old-timey, mustache-twirling villain. They become fugitives pursued by people who are also transforming into cartoon characters. Nothing funny or interesting ensues.
For some reason, rather than having cameos from other Hanna-Barbera characters, Ennis instead squeezes in a few Looney Tunes and Disney icons, mashing some of them up with Lovecraftian monsters -- just 'cuz.
Boring and pointless.

As pitches go, 'Garth Ennis reboots Dastardly & Muttley as a real-world war book' sounds nearly as stupid as 'a hip hop musical about the life of one of the less popular Founding Fathers'. Which only goes to show that sometimes Monkey Tennis works out. And admittedly, this doesn't stay that real world for very long, because when two perfectly normal pilots try to catch the rogue drone War Pig One (do you see?), things start getting very strange very quickly. What is unstabilium? Where is Unliklistan? Why had nobody heard of them before now, and why do they have such stupid names? And why has the world started getting so...cartoony? Mauricet's art does a great job of selling a world getting increasingly Roger Rabbit as the physical laws and psychological norms we know start giving way to familiar cartoon conventions, and the resolution is at once ingenious, hilarious and horrific. Excellent stuff.

Zero stars.
This is truly one of the worst things I have read in many a year.
Garth Ennis, WTF happened to you? Either you have changed, or my tastes have, and dramatically. You used to be my favorite comic book writer (Preacher and Hitman are all-time classics...), but lately...between your unfunny attempts at humor, and your completely incomprehensible to anyone who is not a WWII fanatic military stories, I haven't enjoyed anything you've written in ages. And this is the worst of a bad bunch.
Who is this for? Who at DC read this and thought "Yes, this is the way to go!" Just dreadful, unfunny, pointless....Go read Mark Russell's FLINTSTONES again instead of this. Please.

It had a few good moments and a lot of potential, especially at the beginning, but couldn't keep it up and completely fell apart by the end. I never saw Wacky Races, but I don't suppose it would have helped much if I had.

I have a passing familiarity with Dick Dastardly and Muttley, but don’t recall their original incarnation being like this. I guess that’s the point of these Hanna-Barbera comics, though: reinterpreting the characters in whatever context floats the author’s boat. Garth Ennis is the last person I expected to take on this title, let alone any Hanna-Barbera property, and what does he do? Make Dastardly and Muttley Air Force pilots in the real world, of course. Well, “real world” is stretching it, because the majority of thIs book takes place after an element called unstabilium unleashes zany cartoon madness on civilization. This is one of Ennis’ farcical books, in other words, a la Rifle Brigade and Where Monsters Dwell. It has its moments, but I didn’t laugh nearly as much as with those books. I think Ennis was really dragging his feet here. Maybe if you’re a bigger fan of the characters you’ll like it more? Judging by other reviews, I doubt it.

Still not entirely sure why DC's insisting on these Hanna Barbera tie-ins. Ennis at least takes the interesting tack of making it a quasi-horror story about looniness infecting a "realistic" world, but the comedy's not enough and it's too long. This could've been four issues. Who are these books for?!
March 18, 2018
Those first two issues were fascinating.
Those middle two issues almost dared you to follow the lead characters down the proverbial rabbit hole.
Then things fell apart for me. Ennis really failed to stick the landing in my opinion. It's a shame too, because I think this could have been a special tale.

It’s the synthesis of Dr Strangelove, Cthulu, military procedural and Hanna-Barbera that I never realized I wanted so badly.

A versão DC Comics de Dick Vigarista e Muttley escrita por Garth Ennis e Mauricet é uma das histórias mais doidas do escritor irlandês que tive oportunidade de ler e, talvez, por essa razão seja uma das melhores releitura desses personagens sob o selo da Hanna-Barbera feita dentro das publicações da editora das lendas. Para começar, a origem de Muttley é que ele e Dastardly estavam pilotando um avião e Muttley levou um cachorro junto. Quando são borrifados por um ingrediente misterioso, os dois mudam. Dick Vigarista começa a ver coisas e Muttley é bizarramente fundido com aquele cachorro que havia levado à bordo do caça que pilotavam. Assim, os dois começam uma cruzada contra um tal "orelhudo comedor de cenouras' que está transformando o mundo real na lógica de desenhos animados. Este Dick Vigarista & Muttley é um quadrinho louco, louco, louco, mas louco de divertido e sem pé nem cabeça. Quando Garth Ennis não ruma para o seu lado mega hiper apelativo, ele consegue fazer um trabalho que pode ser apreciado por pessoas de todas idades, mesmo contendo elementos que muitos considerariam bizarríssimos.

Říkal jsem si že tohle bude určitě komiks ve kterém na mě udělá Ennis lepší dojem, no a zase to nevyšlo. Přitom tady pracuje se zajímavým tématem, že vlastně animáky co známe tak jejich charaktery jsou prastará božstva které pomocí Loonetyconu jsou přivolány na náš svět a šíří se jako v Evil Dead. Z lidí se stávají animované charaktery a dělají různé kraviny. Bohužel i přes atraktivní námět to posílá Ennis slušně do kopru. Sice tu občas využívá ulítlé atmosféry a dělá i originální žerty, ale ty se pak všechny ztratí ve velkém množství politických dialogů a rozebírání prostě armády, co se u nich stalo. Místo aby se to věnovalo a více to rozvádělo divoké eskapády ve světe zamořeném touhle nákazou. Navíc příběh začne být až příliš zmatený a já už jel při konci komiksu na automat.
Nemluvně o tom že tu Ennis ždímá furt tři vtipy skoro dokola, jo tohle prostě bylo zklamání.
Zatím u Hana Barbery rebootu vyhrává Scooby Apocalypse spolu se Snaglepussem. Tohle byla další kravina. Přitom kresba je super a zachraňuje to.

Now this was a huge let down. I love the writing of Garth Ennis and everytime I pick something by him expect it to be good. Was he really so much in need for some extra cash he agreed to dribble this piece of shit out?
There are some funny bit in this one, some that made me snigger a bit. But all those pieces were in the first two issues. Then thing just fell apart and things just tried to be too much in the silly side and forget the story.
Even the art looked it was drawn by John McCrea. But then again, that is not a bad thing.

It was a fun comic and I was enjoying it but the ending was unnecessarily depressing. Kind of kills the enjoyment a bit. The rest of it was so much fun so I don’t know why they added such a dark bit at the end.
May 10, 2022
If I had a nickel for every time Scooby-Doo was involved with lovecraftian gods and monsters slowly eroding away at the world as we know it I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
May 31, 2018
Woah. That was a wild ride. Like, really weird. I liked it! But wow, I would recommend this based solely off of the absurdity of it all.

I'm sure there are aspects related to American politics that are being parodied here. They're entirely beyond me. Sadly, there are few good jokes in this story. It's not Garth Ennis's best work, though I'm sure he tried.
Fighter pilots Lt. Col. Richard Atcherly 'Dick' and Capt. Dudley Muller 'Mutt' and the latter's dog were sent on a mission over the country of Unliklistan after its leader accidentally blew up a nuclear power plant working on Unstabilium. They encounter the drone War Pig One that is their target, but before they can destroy it, it sprays them with a strange substance. After crashlanding they wake up in a German hospital. Dick's speach pattern has changed and Mutt has the head of a dog now.

Terrible. Boring. Pointless. Not funny. Not entertaining. Not recommended.
Unlike the much better Flintstones and Jetsons reboots, this one did not even try to honor the source material. I kept reading just because I'm a fan of Garth Ennis, and hoped at some point the story would improve.
IT DIDN'T. It starts bad and somehow manages to get worse.
My review can be summed up in a quote from the book itself: "Taking it with me might very well be a huge mistake. An unforgivable error. The stupidest thing anyone's ever done. "
Yup, that about says it all.

I have enjoyed the handful of the Hanna Barbera books I have read and I loooooove Garth Ennis, but this doesn't really have anything I've enjoyed about either, much less any sort of appreciable crossover appeal. You might say this 'wacky'(races) 'mutt'(ly) of a book is the 'pits'(top) and (captain cave)'man' I wish I hadn't read (oswald the lucky rabb)'it'.
February 20, 2019
This is almost very nearly a good concept.
The execution is like the slightly off Disney characters on an ice cream van. It almost works if you squint a bit, but not quite. Even it's own twisted internal logic doesn't make a lot of sense, and it has only one joke.

This comic should have the subtitle "Garth Ennis really needed the money."

This is a cute idea that, when it takes itself seriously, is trippy. But there's no follow through. It's apparently all just a dream.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Silly book. But interesting take on modernizing these characters. It was barely "okay."
May 19, 2019
Muttley was one of my favorite cartoon characters as a kid. Ennis' take is fantastic! He never disappoints me.
June 2, 2019
A loy of good ideas at work here, but it just doesn't really come together. Not one of Garth Ennis's finest hours. Love the artwork, though.

I don't know who the audience for this is, and I hope I never meet them
January 26, 2020
Well that was certainly a strange match of creator and subject. Not without its charms, but really jumps through too many hoops to justify its own plot.
February 2, 2020
This is a pretty fun interpretation of the old cartoon, and a really cool, different form of apocalypse - a toon-based one. Really creative story, fun to read, and doesn't go for too long.
May 24, 2020
I don't know what I was expecting with Garth Ennis writing Dastardly and Muttley, but it was not this. The entire thing was deliberately absurd, and I really can't decide if I liked it or not.
