In 1978, DC comics published one of the silliest stories in comics history (even by comic book standards).

Superman vs. Mohammed Ali was originally published as “All-New Collectors Edition #C-56”

In 1975, DC comics released a comic series which was (somehow) composed of only first issues. DC 1st Issue Special had 12 different issue 1’s done by a variety of creators with a bunch of new characters and some familiar ones. Among these were three titles done by the King, Jack Kirby on his way out the door from DC. In this episode we review all 3.

Comics aren’t just for kids anymore! That’s the idea behind this 1987 reboot of the Shazam story. Enter the world of the grim and gritty streets of 1980s San Francisco where Billy Batson gets his powers and has to deal with real world issues. Thanks a lot Roy

Hey Cold Storagers!

This week we review "This Man... This Monster!" by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby The story appears in Fantastic Four #51.

There is a lot to love about this Kirby Lee joint. Some of the greatest full page art Jack ever did. Peter David uses this story as an example of how to handle plot in a single comic in his book on writing comics.

Bonus, Cally buys the crappy reprint editions part 2

In this issue, we review “Wrath of the Spectre” from 1988 which was a series that reprinted the Spectre stories from the 1970s contained in Adventure Comics 331 to 340. They were written by Michael Fleisher with by Jim Aparo.

“The Wrath of the Spectre” also contained 3 stories, written by Fleisher, that were never illustrated or released back in the 70s. Aparo came back to do the art and the stories were included with the reprint collection.

Give a listen to hear our thoughts and make sure and leave a review!
