Writer David Pepose is still in the midst of his acclaimed Space Ghost comic run at Dynamite, and now he's turning his attention to rebooting another classic cartoon superhero into a modern comic: Captain Planet, which will arrive this Spring through Dynamite, the same publisher as Space Ghost.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers was an early '90s smash-hit cartoon in which a group of teen heroes from around the globe wielded elemental powers, summoning their champion Captain Planet to help them fight pollution, as embodied in colorfully eccentric villains such as Verminous Scum, Duke Nukem, and Hoggish Greedly.
