In my continuing effort to watch every episode of cartoons that I loved as a kid, the next one on my agenda was G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero — specifically, the Sunbow Productions run starting with the first installment of the original limited series, all the way through the regular episodes and finishing with G.I. Joe: The Movie.
So, SilverHawks is a bit of a weird one. If you’re a kid who grew up in the ’80s (or if you’re a retro lover who came to the cartoons of that era later) you might be familiar with this Rankin-Bass production. If you haven’t seen it, SilverHawks is about a group of cyborg police, sent from Earth to the faraway galaxy of Limbo and stationed at a floating space-base called Hawk Haven. Their goal? To crack down on Mon*Star and his Mob in order to keep the good citizens of Limbo safe.
