In this episode of Origin Story, Bumblebee and Blaster head to Arizona and wind up victims of The Scraplets. Plus, I manage to make an Office Space joke at the expense of the Decepticons! It’s all in Transformers #29. Plus, I ramble about Top Gun even more, complete with Diet Pepsi commercial!

IT’S TIME FOR TODD MCFARLANE! YAY!!!

This time around, I take a look at G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #60, the issue that was commanding a pretty good price on the back issue market in the early 1990s because of the art by (then) future Spider-Man artist and Image co-founder Todd McFarlane! I review the comic and dig a little into its backstory (courtesy of Comic Book Legends Revealed) as well as share memories of a sleepover party from 1987 that has something to do with comics and G.I. Joe.

Ride into the Danger Zone with the Joes and Cobras as I cover a comic that featues a good old-fashioned mid-1980s dogfight in G.I. Joe: Special Missions #5! I review the comic and also talk about the perfect timing that was my owning at least a few Joe planes and my obtaining the Top Gun soundtrack, complete with my thoughts on Harold Faltermeyer’s “Top Gun Anthem.”

In the tenth episode of Origin Story, I head on over to Marvel’s Distinguished Competition to check out an early FCTC-era Superman story with Adventures of Superman #428. I review the comic, gush about Jerry Ordway’s art (because you have to), ship Clark Kent and Cat Grant, and reveal that I didn’t realize when I was nine years old that the hostage on the cover of the comic was actually a guy (sorry Jerry–both of you). Also, I talk about how I remember buying this comic, which includes a story that will embarrass my sister … which is always a bonus.
