Hey everybody, Happy New Year! I'm welcoming a guest you haven't heard in a while, but I'm excited to have Rob (I have a nerdy mind) back with the show! He and I really share a love of black and white magazines, especially the horror books! We talk about Skywald as a publisher, then an issue of Psycho! As usual, if you want to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Magazin...

Hey there, zany ones! Bill and Dave from the Bat-Pod are here, and we've got a crazy issue to talk about! Batman teams up with the Flash, but why is the Scarlet Speedster reluctant to help? And who are these mysterious other speedsters carrying out crimes in Gotham? It's going to take both heroes and a little luck to solve this caper! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you...

Hey everybody! Happy New Year! Let's start 2024 off right with two of my favorite people, Dr. Bobb and Dr. Husband from the Checkered Past Podcast! I've invited them on to talk about the crazy hero, Metamorpho. The Haney dialogue is always a point of emphasis in these books, but the way he writes this cast of characters is really off the chain! As usual, if you want to leave any feedback for the s...

Hey everybody! Dr Anj is back, and he's brought along another issue of Adventure Comics, starring The Spectre! The series has been nothing short of awesome, but will that continue in this issue? The run is winding down, and possibly the book's steam as well. Fleischer, Aparo, and horror! It's all still here and possibly...a wedding? As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for...

Hey all you bloodsuckers! Scott West is back, and we're got a pair of issues that will make your skin crawl! First up, Dracula uses his anonymity to attack Blade and his woman, Safron! Then, we get a new and awesome character introduction with Hannibal King! He has his own beef with Dracula, but he and Blade share something in common as well! So join us as we dive into these incredible comics! As...

Hey everybody! We're back with the penultimate (I love that word) episode of our Thor the Eternals Saga! We see Thor learn about his past or is it alternate past? But why doesn't Thor remember any of this happening? And what does an opera have to do with it? I hope you already have the answers, because Evan, Ed, and I probably don't! Listen in to find some answers...maybe! As usual, if you'd like...

Hey there zany ones! Ross is back, and we're here to talk about another crazy comic from DC comics in the Bronze Age! Plus, it's written by Bob Haney!

As usual, if you want to leave any feedback for the show,...

Then we’ll dive right into issues four and five of the series proper! So join us!

Hey everybody! Ed Moore and Evan Bevins are back, and we have a huge episode to bring you! Thor vs Odin! Eternals vs Olympians! Plus, we get pro wrestling! No joke! We have a great time talking about these fun issues, so sit back, and relax, as we entertain at least ourselves!

Hey everybody, Paul Hix is back, and we've got two more issues of Swamp Thing (vol 1) to talk about! The story lines seem to be straying further and further away from the original material, we both wonder why this is, and does it even matter with cancellation looming? Swamp Thing in space! A deadly virus! No, it's not 2020! As usual, if you want to leave any feedback for the show you can do so thr...

Hey everybody! Derek (Kunsken) is back, and we are here to tackle the second issue of Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction! We had a great time with the first issue, so we decided to cover the entire run (it's only 6 issues, plus a Giant Size)!But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This specific issue has a strong line up of stories and article, and we are ready to dive in. So, grab your laser pistol...

Hey there, zany ones! Ranger Gord is back, and he's picked an insane comic from the vault to talk about on this episode. We dive into a very strange story in the pages of World's Finest, as Metamorpho somehow is imbued with the powers of both Batman and Superman! It's a tale only Bob Haney could write. The taler of the Superfreak! As usual, if you'd like to leave ant feedback you can do so through...

Hey there howlers! Al Sedano is back with me, and we’ve got a wild two-part story to bring to your ears! We see a tragic figure (not initially, or maybe at all?), murder, and wet dog…or wolf. We definitely have some questions and very little answers, as usual, but don’t let that fool you, we’re as entertaining as ever. As usual, if you’d like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so throu...

Choo Choo! The Trans-Siberian express is pulling out! The passengers aboard are Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Telly Savalas! The Yard Sale Artist himself, Jarrod Alberich is here with me, and we are going to talk about this awesome movie, as I've been wanting to cover this one for a long time! No other film has ever had such a great cast and so many horror and sci-fi elements in it! OK, mayb...

Hey there all you bloodsuckers! Scott West is back, and it's time for more vampire action! Dracula is getting the giant size treatment, and this story is pretty bonkers, and in an untraditional fashion, the story leads right into the following one in the regular series. Dracula needs a new home in London, so he has his minions procure one for him, except it's currently occupied by a young woman na...

Hey there, zany ones! My buddy Dr Anj is back, and we have a doozy of a comic for you! Can Batman and Wildcat defeat the crazed Joker? What does a dog named Spot have to do with this caper? We get some prison action (no, not THAT kind of action!), as Ted Grant boxes an inmate, and an infectious disease threatens to kill a prison full of inmates! All of this, plus Anj reveals his secret origin with...

Keith a Twitter friend and lifelong comic book fan that has a huge passion for DC comics in the 1980s.
