   Although it is claimed to be an original concept, the Jonny Quest series bears a striking resemblance to the Rick Brant book series published by Grossett & Dunlap from 1947 to 1967. The boy hero Rick Brant is the son of the famous scientist Hartson Brant, who lives and works on his own private island. The Brant family travels the world on their adventures using cutting-edge equipment, accompanied by the old sailor Scotty and occasionally by an Indian boy named Chada.

    Jonny's mother first appeared in the comic-book story "Enter Race Bannon" in JONNY QUEST #2 (Comico, July 1986). The former Judith Waterston dies in Paris of an incurable disease while Jonny is still a young boy. Dr. Benton Quest is so devastated by her death that the agent Roger "Race" Bannon is assigned as Jonny's protector. The animated film made for cable, Jonny's Golden Quest (1993), told a different story about Jonny's mother, as explained in the "Classic Jonny Quest FAQ": instead of an incurable disease or even letting the matter remain a secret, Jonny's mother's death (renamed Rachel Wildey, after artist Doug Wildey) involved Dr. Zin. Although controversial, this revision became the official version of events and was reported as such in reference materials such as the 'Jonny Quest Character Reference Guide' published by Hanna Barbera in 1995.
