Spec Tales: A Comic Book Podcast

As we prepare for the big King-Size Annual episode to celebrate our first year of existence, we've decided to share the first full episode of our Patreon exclusive series Floppies with all the Spec Tales listeners. This episode was originally released in March of 2022 and is full of grade-school-level humor, but we think you'll enjoy it just the same. Along with Chris Vancouver Comic Junkie and Joel from Newbie Comics, we play a comic book elimination on a deserted island. SUPPORT THE SHOW!
