Any panel in the book could be passed off as a single frame from the cartoon and Brizuela does a great job of drawing the exaggerated expressions of a frightened Shaggy. Oddly enough, when I read Batman’s lines I never heard Olan Soule, but actually Diedrich Bader, which isn’t surprising consider that Fisch also wrote for the Batman: The Brave and the Bold comic series.īesides Sholly Fisch flawlessly recreating the voice of the characters and the formula of an average episode of the show, it’s artist Dario Brizuela’s illustrations and the vibrant colors by Heroic Age that really bring the world of Scooby to life.

In case you didn’t know, Casey Kasem did the voice-over work for Shaggy and Robin in The New Scooby-Doo Movie that first paired the two 30 years ago (someone just read that sentence and felt very old).

I hope you’re ready to have the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! theme song stuck in your head the rest of the day because that’s exactly what happened to me after reading Scooby-Doo Team Up by Sholly Fisch, Dario Brizuela, and Heroic Age.
