Since 1969, Scooby-Doo has been an iconic part of American pop culture, and paved the way for an entire era of Saturday-morning cartoons. Like all the biggest franchises of its era, the mystery show quickly made its way to the comic book industry, where the gang's adventures were translated into pencils and ink. Here, readers were given a whole new set of cases, monsters and settings for the gang to explore. While some of these stories stay true to form for the gang, others offer shocking changes to the gang's origins and their adventures.
Scooby-Doo has been in near-consistent print since the 1990s, and has been taken on by some of the biggest publishers in the business, including both Marvel and DC. These comic book runs are must-have collections for die-hard fans of Mystery Incorporated, expanding their adventures well beyond their TV appearances. From formulaic, monster-of-the-week stories to gritty reinventions, these...
