Lou Scheimer was the co-founder of Filmation Studios, which for over 25 years provided animated excitement for TV and film by creating the first DC cartoons with Superman, Batman, and Aquaman, The Archies, the Emmy-winning Star Trek: The Animated Series, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, Tarzan, The Lone Ranger, and Zorro. Forays into live-action included Shazam! and The Secrets of Isis, plus groundbreaking special effects work on Jason of Star Command and others. And in the 1980s, Filmation single-handedly caused the syndication explosion with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and its successors. Now, Lou Scheimer tells the entire story, profusely illustrated with photos, model sheets, storyboards, presentation art, looks at rare and unproduced series, and more — plus stories from top animation insiders about Scheimer and Filmation's past, and rare Filmation art!
