Ben reads the smallest comics he has ever seen! 



And by “reads”, we mean “looks at and tries to read but they’re so small”!



Join us for an unboxing of tiny figures with tiny comics!!!

TRANSFORMERS #5 & G.I. JOE #3 – Micro Comics!?! (Ben)





Using Star Wars as a guideline,  we’re exploring comic books based on licensed properties that Marvel Comics published from 1977 to 1986.



For this episode, Ben reads the FINAL three chapters in the 12-issue epic “Master Assassin of Mars” from JOHN CARTER issues 25-27, cover dated July 1979, August 1979, and September 1979! 



Coincidentally, there was a hiatus between issues 24 and 25 . . . just like there was a hiatus between the episodes covering those issues! For Marvel, it was like two months. For Ben . . . much longer.



NOTE: For Marvel’s Cosmic Comics, Ben is choosing a BOLD NEW way of doing things that he’s going to try out with John Carter. Multiple issues per episode, and not month by month. This means he might jump around a bit between series and not go chronologically through the calendar, month by month.

“Master Assassin of Mars” Parts 10-12 (John Carter, Warlord of Mars 25, 26, & 27) – MCC123
