They retell Iron Man's origin in this one. Greg and Dan analyze whether or not this was a good idea. Tony Stark ponders his past life. In the end this one seemed like a file issue but here we are waiting for the Demon in a Bottle storyline to continue. 

*Warning* if you read this issue there will be artistic depictions of people that you may find offensive. 

Correction: I promise I will say Carmine correctly in the next podcast.

Dan and Greg are back after a bit of a hiatus!  We are off and running back into “Demon in a Bottle” with Iron Man 121 from 1979! Why does Greg think Iron Man is invisible? How do those wings work on Namor’s ankles!?

We riff on the book, Indiana’s questionable history, GI Joe, and lots of other nonsense in this fun podcast.

Correction: Oops, Roxxon Energy/Oil’s first appeared in Captain America 140, not this issue!

We are sorry!  Dan and Greg spend the day critiquing the first New Teen Titans Drug book sponsored by Keebler. Its bad, really bad but bad is what we do best.  Get a glimpse of the Nancy Reagan war on drugs with this must read once (or let us read it for you) from 1983. We pull no punches in this one. There is even a special appearance by the Macho/Squacho Man.

Greg and Dan finish up the 1970s Drugs in Comics stories with Spiderman 98.  This is a fun one, we dig into some of the implications of drug issues and read a fun book. How did Peter know where Harry was in the hospital?  With that question we should get a No Prize! Finally, we answer the most important question: What was Greg for Halloween?
