Tomb of Ideas

Greetings & Salutations Old Chums,

For our main feature, we’re looking at John Byrne’s BATMAN & CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 from February 1997. In the midst of World War 2, someone is trying to steal US military secrets. With the fate of the free world at stake, will Batman and Captain America be able to work together to stop this threat?

Finally, as a backup story, we’re looking at the classic Silver Age story “The Son of the Joker” found in BATMAN vol 1 #145 from February 1962. In this Imaginary Story, we meet Batman II and Robin II as they confront their new foe – the Son of the Joker! Does this new Clown Prince of Crime live up to his namesake? Can the new Dynamic Duo score a victory without the help of Papa Bats? Will Kathy Kane ever recover from her debilitating cold???

Trey and James are back to kick off March 2020 with three monster comics from February 1974.

First, that fast-driving hothead Johnny Blaze outruns the cops and joins a demolition derby in GHOST RIDER #4!

Next, it’s terror on the tracks as Frank Drake and Rachel Van Helsing stalk Dracula on an express train to Transylvania in TOMB OF DRACULA #17!

And finally, we have a brand-new solo feature in a familiar title as Trey and James ADVENTURE INTO FEAR #20 with the man called Morbius, the living Vampire!

Does FEAR featuring Morbius live up to the bar set by Man-Thing? Has GHOST RIDER finally started being good? Will Dracula order room service???
