Description
Total cartoon nostalgia trip here. Found an old screenshot from lair, repurposed it and threw John Blackstar in to the mix! From Wikipedia "John Blackstar, astronaut, is swept through a black hole, into an ancient alien universe. Trapped on the planet Sagar, Blackstar is rescued by the tiny Trobbit people. In turn, he joins their fight for freedom against the cruel Overlord, who rules by the might of the PowerStar. The PowerStar is split into the Power Sword and the Star Sword. And so, with Star Sword in hand, Blackstar, together with his allies, sets out to save the planet Sagar. This is his destiny. "I am John Blackstar."Related content

I love what you've done with Warlock--and the fact that you've given John a saddle with stirrups.

that was one of the best cartoons on when I was young. by todays standards the animation was bad but for the time it was great. I only wish they had made more episodes of it.

Oh, I remember that show. Pretty interesting variant on Warlock. Far more dragon than horse than usual, but wonderfully done.

Beautiful Art Piece!!!
I always thought Blackstar was a fun fantasy adventure cartoon that I always looked forward to watching on Saturday mornings. I wanted escapism and Blackstar delivered! I loved it; Blackstar had everything I wanted from an early 80's Saturday morning fantasy cartoon and more. It was a perfect you just can't beat a brave hero traveling through a black hole to an unknown universe, who is armed with a cool sword, rides an even cooler looking flying dragon, is aided by a sorceress and a shape shifter, and battles the villainous Overlord in a strange magical fantasy world filled with all types of impossible creatures and other assorted weirdness.
AWESOME JOB!!!

Was this done by Hanna-Barbara? Love the details on the dragon's and John's bodies. Now he needs a couple a sack filled with grenades.
