Opening spread summary:
Month 	Depicted 	Summary
January 	Jonny, Hadji, elephant 	"Hadji and I were watching the Serengeti sunrise, a dawn like no other on Earth. It's not just the colors, it's the awakening of an enchanted world entirely different from home. Suddenly, an old bull elephant appeared through the ground mist. He looked me directly in the eye and I had an overpowering feeling that I had to follow him, wherever he was headed. But first we had to get out of his way!"Jonny Quest.
February 	Hadji 	"As if being attacked by a monstrous squid were not enough, now Jonny and I have been kidnapped by an insane submarine captain. To remain alive, sometimes one must play dead - so I am using my yogin powers to still my heartbeat. Will feigning death save us, or will it be no more than a pre-monition of reality?"Hadji
March 	Questworld 	"All systems go. Countdown to Quest-World: 5-4-3-2-1 Going Hot! We cross over into the virtual reality of Quest-World, where existence is reduced to sensations created by computer circuitry and light technology. Where the weak can become powerful. Where the strong become dangerous."Jonny Quest
April 	Dr. Quest 	"I was in Washington, D.C., Investigating mysterious signals from Deep Space. It was my educated guess that an extra-terrestrial civilization was threatening us. But why? Our only hope was to use our QuestWorld systems to communicate with the aliens ... "Dr. Benton Quest
May 	Race in deep diving suit	"The fog was thick enough to choke a sea snake. And the sea was colder than a banker's heart. But Jonny, Hadji and I were diving on a historic find: the wreck of an 18th century pirate ship. They said it was haunted but I didn't believe that. Not until I heard the voice of Black Jack Lee and felt his cutlass slice through my air line."Race Bannon
June 	Ezekiel Rage 	"I was an American Agent abroad on a covert operation. I was speeding down an impossible dirt road, my wife and daughter at my side. I radioed for back-up but I'd become a political liability. The car blew up, turning my family into a memory. Now the world must pay for my pain. So I have sworn it - In the Book Of Rage."Ezekiel Rage
July 	Jessie in Questworld 	"QuestWorld is freedom. A gateway to fantasy. Problem is, freedom is a two way street: you're free to act for good or for evil - and Jeremiah Surd lives for evil. Since Jonny, Hadji and I were the ones who accidentally released Surd into QuestWorld, it's up to us to stop him."Jessie Bannon
August 	Jonny 	"What would happen if a madman discovered a synthetic molecule which could destroy the Earth's ozone layer? We were about to find out. Ezekiel Rage had hijacked a space shuttle to distribute the lethal chemical throughout the upper atmosphere. Only Race stood between Rage and the destruction of civilization as we know it."Jonny Quest
September	Jonny 	(no summary)
October 	Jeremiah Surd 	"They say I'm evil. I say I'm a genius. Once, I was the world's leading expert on biochemical warfare. I should have been an American hero but instead they shot me in the spine. In the real world, I'm physically helpless. But the virtual reality of OuestWorld frees me, mind, body and soul. And if they insist that I'm insane and dangerous, who am I to disappoint them?"Jeremiah Surd
November 	Bandit and Jonny 	"They told me my dad had been buried in an avalanche, high in the Himalayas. But I know my dad and I didn't believe them. Khumbu Monastery was the last place he had been seen alive, so that's where Bandit and I were headed - and I wasn't about to rest until I knew the truth."Jonny Quest
December 	Jonny 	The year of Jonny Quest is just getting started. The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest have been set loose upon the world. There's no turning back now.
