Blast off for exciting adventures in outer space with the crew of the spaceship Starduster in the far-fIung future! Ace piIot Scott McCloud (codename: Space AngeI), communications expert Crystal Mace and engineer Taurus patroI the gaIaxy for the Interplanetary Space Force, keeping the Earth safe from any and alI threats!
Space Angel was the second series produced by the short-Iived Cambria Productions, who had previously made the Syncro-Vox animation method famous with Clutch Cargo (1959-1960). Like Clutch, the series used the cost-cutting technique of filming voice actors as they delivered dialog, and then superimposing their Iips over stiIl drawings of the characters faces. Ned Lefebver was the voice of Scott McCloud, whiIe Margaret Kerry (the modeI for Tinker BelI in Peter Pan) played Crystal. Hal Smith, best remembered as Otis on The Andy Griffith Show, voiced Taurus, the Scottish engineer, a precursor to Star Trek s Scotty.
Animation and comics legend Alex Toth (1928-2006) created the majority of the artwork as Iarge storyboards, to which the limited Syncro-Vox technique was then added. Beginning his career as teenager in the 1940s drawing The Flash and Green Lantern for DC Comics, Space Angel was Toth s breakthrough in the animation industry. He wouId subsequently become chief character designer on such stapIes of Saturday morning TV as Space Ghost (1966-1968), Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, The Herculoids (both 1967-1969) and Super Friends (1973-1985). His infIuence is stiII seen today in series Iike Batman: The Animated Series and The Venture Brothers. Space Angel used the same eerie stock music score composed by William Loose and Fred Steiner that was featured in films such as Teenagers from Outer Space, The KiIler Shrews (both 1959), and, most famously, Night of the Living Dead (1968).
