Saturday Morning Cartoon

Way back in 1992, a bunch of comic book artists got together to form their own comic company called Image Comics. It was going to be free of the corporate greed and control that plagued the Big Two (Marvel & DC). They were going to create their own "original" super-heroes. Like former X-Men artist Jim Lee. He created a new super-hero team called WildC.A.T.S. (covert action team). Instead of drawing everybody's favorite X-men character Wolverine, who has claws in his hands, Lee created an entirely new super-hero. Warblade - who had claws for hands. Ah, the originality.

Being the early 1990's, the market was full of speculators out to make a quick buck and the company quickly became as big as - well - the Big Two. And natural they all tried to cash in as much as possible, thus in 1994 WildC.A.T.S. became an animated Saturday morning cartoon on CBS. It only lasted 13 episodes. Recently somebody lent me the complete series on DVD and I have to say it has the worst (best?) theme song ever written for a cartoon.

Remember - they're heroes, not zeroes.
