Doug Wildey is an illustrator who designed and created the concept for the original 1964 Jonny Quest television series.
General overview[]
Wildey created the concept of the series, and designed the four main characters: Jonny Quest, Benton Quest, Hadji, and Race Bannon. He did not design the pet dog Bandit, which was more cartoonishly-styled and used for comic relief; Bandit was instead designed by animator Richard Bickenbach.
