Hi, everybody. First things first: Kristin and Rich's online shop is now live: https://dragonbreathcomics.com. They update daily so keep checking back for new merchandise and follow them on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X @dragonbreathcomics616. We'll talk to them about this big announcement on our next episode.

This week George and Eric from https://longboxreview.com celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America by diving deep into a comic from fifty years ago when America was just a baby at 200 years old. It's the "novel-length bicentennial blockbuster" contained in the pages of Action Comics 463 from DC Comics. "From 1976 to 1776--Superman gets hit...but it's Clark Kent who lands in the past!" Watch out for tory spies! #BringKarb-BrakBack

Follow Eric on Bluesky @longboxreview

HAPPY SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL AMERICA!

(If you are looking for artists who have covered songs celebrating 1776, look no further than Prince and the Revolution and Ween)
