Reception[]
In the first story, Joe Staton, throughout the story a marvel, whirlwinds a three-panel history of Shaggy's and Scoob's encounters with skeleton costumes. Ro-Man and a sixties skeleton-clad Mexican wrestler on a motorcycle make cameos. The artwork sets up John Rozum's clever story in which the Gang attempt to cure the chickens of their bone-rattling fear. The use of Day of the Dead fiesta is pure genius. What better way to extinguish Shag's and Scoob's terror by equating it with their love of food?[1]
