Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc. was an American animation studio that was founded in 1957 by former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (the creators of Tom and Jerry), and live-action director George Sidney. It is considered the very first animation studio to successfully produce animated cartoons made exclusively for television. The Hanna-Barbera Studio created cartoon shows for over 30 years including: Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Wacky Races, Scooby-Doo, and The Smurfs. William Hanna and Joe Barbera won seven Academy Awards, eight Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were also inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1993.

"Super Friends" was an animated cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which ran from 1973-1986. It was a part of the ABC Saturday morning cartoon lineup and was based on The Justice League of America DC Comics pantheon of characters. There were 109 episodes over 9 seasons: "Super Friends" (1973-1974), "The All-New Super Friends Hour" (1977-1978), "Super Friends/Challenge of the Super Friends" (1978-1979), "The World's Greatest Super Friends" (1979-1980), "Super Friends" (1980-1982), "The Best of the Super Friends" - Reruns (1982-1983), [Cancellation and the "lost episodes"] (1983-1984), "Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show" (1984-1985), and "The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians" (1985-1986).

The Super Friends were comprised of a core group of five superheros: Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. Teen sidekicks and their pets included Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog (1973-1975) and the Wonder Twins Jayna & Zan with their pet monkey Gleek (1977-1984). Other Justice League members that appeared in the series include; The Atom, Firestorm, The Flash, Green Landern, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Abin Sur, Plastic Man and Superboy.

Multiple cel setup showing production numbers and peg holes.

"Space Emergency" was from the third episode of "The All-New Super Friends Hour," which first aired on September 24, 1977. The plot revolved around a space shuttle's botched attempt at docking with a space station, resulting in power failures. Wonder Woman, with special guests Hawkman and Hawkgirl use their super powers to save both the space shuttle and station. This is an extremely rare multiple cel title card setup. The cel of Wonder Woman was also used for the title cards for "River of Doom," "Cable Car Rescue," and "The Antidote;" and the cel of Hawkman and Hawkgirl was used again for the title card for "Time Rescue." This is a wonderful three cel setup of Wonder Woman, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and the SPACE EMERGENCY title cel. A great piece of animation art history and a rare addition to any collection!
