Chuck Dixon and Kevin Kobasic bring us "Creep," the story of an American sniper that is more legend than man, in The 'Nam #66. As always, I'll have a synopsis and review of the comic and this time around, my historical context section will be focusing on the second half of 1970 and January 1971.

"Well, it's a whole year's work for a sturgeon."

On this episode of Bots, Bugs, And Babes, my father (Al Jaconetti) and I are together to look at the 1957 giant insect feature The Black Scorpion.

We will talk about that and much more - including all the drool you can shake a stick at! So please join us, as we go South of the border for this Big Bug Classic!

Disenfranchised by the modern comics industry, Paul Spataro, Scott Gardner and Bill Robinson now ply the time-stream in a never-ending quest to re-discover and re-connect with that unique brand of fun and excitement that can only truly be found in good ol' fashioned randomly-selected Comic Book back issues!! Journey with them now...back...Back To The Bins!! This week, they reminisce about a long forgotten Saturday morning cartoon and even manage to look at two books.

In an extra-length summer special, Micheal and Andrew take a look at the trilogy of Earth One books featuring hot trinity of the moment, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Do these glorious hardcovers herald a new era in super heroic fiction or are they just yet another retelling of origin stories that don't need to exist. This episode also has some controversial themes which our 2 hapless chancers discuss in their usual clueless manner.

It's time to throw your Sublime CD into the stereo of your teal Mustang and then do the Macarena while downing some Molson Ice because we're going back to the summer of 1996.
