In this special episode, I talk about a moment in my life that left me feeling ashamed for who I was, a comic book reader. During this time in my life, I learned to turn back to my passion and enjoyment of comic books, especially the Justice Society of America and how it inspired me and later my students in learning, reading and creation. A special thanks to Lance Ausfresser from the Star Girl and Justice Society of America Facebook Groups that lead to the inspiration for this episode.
