Not a Hoax! Not a Dream!

Not a hoax, not a dream...in this episode, a character dies! And...gets better. I've heard some people say that Batman wasn't really Batman until there was a Robin. That's how I feel about Alfred Pennyworth. The mythos isn't complete without him. Join us as we talk about his first appearance, death, and return to life in the Silver Age.

Not a hoax, not a dream...in this episode, a character dies! And...gets better. Some have called him the most powerful Green Lantern of all, others have called him the heart of the Corps. Others don't call him "him" at all. Today's character is Mogo!
