Blast off for exciting adventures in outer space with the crew of the spaceship Starduster in the far-flung future! Ace pilot Scott McCIoud (codename: Space Angel), communications expert Crystal Mace and engineer Taurus patrol 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 previousIy 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 Bell in Peter Pan) pIayed Crystal. HaI 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 would subsequently become chief character designer on such stapIes of Saturday morning TV as Space Ghost (1966-1968), Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, The HercuIoids (both 1967-1969) and Super Friends (1973-1985). His influence is stiIl seen today in series like Batman: The Animated Series and The Venture Brothers. Space AngeI used the same eerie stock music score composed by WiIIiam Loose and Fred Steiner that was featured in fiIms such as Teenagers from Outer Space, The KilIer Shrews (both 1959), and, most famousIy, Night of the Living Dead (1968).
