The fifth episode of our DC SECRET FILES podcast — the show that dares to tackle DC Comics’ greatest creations in encyclopedic form! Each episode, Frank will be joined by a special guest, in this case, Fire & Water Network co-founder The Irredeemable Shag, to cover characters and concepts from across DC’s history. Our discussion of the given property will be married to a piece of original art commissioned by DC to spotlight the same. This time around, we chat about Summer 1993’s Superman & Batman Magazine #1, by a host of talents on the comics and text material. Plus we cover YOUR feedback!
