Dorno at Show and Tell

Dorno at Show and Tell by 09tuf
Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

Due to his youth and his lack of superpowers, he is certainly one of the most vulnerable members of the Herculoids and is frequently a weak link which their opponents seek to target.

The picture "Dorno at Show and Tell by 09tuf" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2015.  


Inspired by the episode "Time Creatures", it follows up on the picture series "Dorno and the Time Creature".  

Once again, the advanced Time Creatures study the shirtless pretty boy for weaknesses that they can exploit in their next invasion attempt.  However, after examining the youthful and relatively powerless Dorno, they again underestimate the Herculoids and are once again defeated.


This picture was also inspired by the episode "Tarzan and the Strange Visitors" from the Filmation Tarzan animated television series beginning in 1976.  I love the energy bands around Dorno.
This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  This is an original scene and did not appear in the series or in any other derivative media.
