Feature Article

Toons for our times
Dexter's Laboratory
Cartoon Network Starring

An exciting new era begins with two brand-new titles debuting in July, both devoted to the original, modern characters found on the Cartoon Network: CARTOON NETWORK STARRING and DEXTER'S LABORATORY. Making these books even more special is the unprecedented involvement of the writers and artists who have made CARTOON NETWORK's original programming so popular!

The fun begins with CARTOON NETWORK STARRING, a rotating comic showcasing different characters every month. And leading the charge in CARTOON NETWORK STARRING #1 are... the Powerpuff Girls! Written by series creator Craig McCracken (with a little help from DEXTER'S LABORATORY creator Genndy Tartakovsky), with art and cover by McCracken, the kindergarten-aged trio must use all the powers at their disposal to save Townsville from the malevolent menace of Mojo Jojo! Will the Powerpuff Girls' ultrasecret weapon save the day, or is Townsville doomed? Issue #2 will feature the pompadour-sporting ladies' man Johnny Bravo; #3, the wacky exploits of the brother-and-sister team of Cow & Chicken; and, #4 the talk-show hilarity of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast before it all starts over again with the Powerpuff Girls in CARTOON NETWORK STARRING #5!

Things go boom all over the place in DEXTER'S LABORATORY, an ongoing series starring the smartest boy you've ever seen (and his pesky sister, Dee Dee), coutesy of Dexter creator Genndy Tartakovsky (with a little help from Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken)! Tratakovsky also provides the covers for at least the first year's worth of DEXTER'S LABORATORY issues, beginning with the super-powered destruction in DEXTER'S LABORATORY #1 (illustrated by Tartakovsky). After Dexter reads the latest Justice Friends comic, he uses the Kirbytron 6000 to become a musclebound hero in hos very own comic-book adventure! But hey -- who is that masked woman? Could it be Dexter's archnemesis: Dee Dee? Will Dexter defeat his foe? Will he survive his excursion into the comics zone? Will he ever get Dee Dee out of his lab? Comics will never be the same!!!
