Ace pilot Scott McCloud (codename: Space Angel), communications expert Crystal Mace and flight engineer Taurus patrol the galaxy for the Interplanetary Space Force, keeping the Earth safe from any and all threats!\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpace Angel\u003c\/i\u003e was the second series produced by the short-lived Cambria Productions, who had previously made the Syncro-Vox animation method famous with \u003ci\u003eClutch Cargo\u003c\/i\u003e (1959-1960). Like \u003ci\u003eClutch\u003c\/i\u003e, the series used the cost-cutting technique of filming voice actors as they delivered dialog, and then superimposing their lips over still drawings of the characters' faces. Ned Lefebver was the voice of Scott McCloud, while Margaret Kerry (the model for Tinker Bell in \u003ci\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/i\u003e) played Crystal. Hal Smith, best remembered as Otis on \u003ci\u003eThe Andy Griffith Show\u003c\/i\u003e, voiced Taurus, the Scottish engineer, a precursor to \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e's Scotty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Animation and comics legend Alex Toth (1928-2006) created the majority of the artwork as large 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, \u003ci\u003eSpace Angel\u003c\/i\u003e was Toth's breakthrough in the animation industry. He would subsequently become chief character designer on such staples of Saturday morning TV as \u003ci\u003eSpace Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e (1966-1968), \u003ci\u003eBirdman and the Galaxy Trio\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Herculoids\u003c\/i\u003e (both 1967-1969) and \u003ci\u003eSuper Friends\u003c\/i\u003e (1973-1985). His influence is still seen today in series like \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Animated Series\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Venture Brothers\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eSpace Angel\u003c\/i\u003e used the same eerie stock music score composed by William Loose and Fred Steiner that was featured in films such as \u003ci\u003eTeenagers from Outer Space\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Shrews\u003c\/i\u003e (both 1959), and, most famously, \u003ci\u003eNight of the Living Dead\u003c\/i\u003e (1968).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHE LITTLE PEOPLE:\u003c\/b\u003e Space Angel becomes embroiled in a war waged by strange, gnome-like aliens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHE WIZARD OF EDEN:\u003c\/b\u003e The \u003ci\u003eStarduster\u003c\/i\u003e lands on a planet that resembles the Garden of Eden, but not everything is what it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHE SAUCER CAPER:\u003c\/b\u003e Crooks steal a fully-functional flying saucer built by whiz kid inventor Johnny Kendall. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDEATH OF A GALAXY:\u003c\/b\u003e When two worlds collide, Scott and his crew must outrace the tremendous resulting shock wave.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802771677334,"sku":"089218809094","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218809094.jpg?v=1762203275","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/sci-fi-cartoon-classics-volume-7-the-adventures-of-scott-mccloud","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
