Welcome back true believers for the story Stan Lee and John Romita would never have brought you, but the one you have a sneaking suspicion Steve Ditko might have if left unchecked.

Have you ever wondered what Peter Parker got up to once he'd collected his bus pass? Have you been longing for an update on the disco loving hypno-hustler? Have you seen Highlander 2? Have you ever been curious about the contents of spidey's tighty-whiteys? Either way all this and more will be answered by your podcasting heroes, Sleeves and Galactosh in this month's scintillating, stupendous, scandalous installment of We've got back issues where they read Spider-man Reign... so you don't have too.

Wanna hear about the return to greatness for the all new Justice League circa 1987? Wanna know just how b-list the Justice League can get? Wanna see the beginnings of The Booster Gold and Blue Beetle bromance? Wanna learn what happens when you put Batman and Guy Gardener on the same team? Wanna make something of it?

Join Galactosh and Sleeves as they delve between the pages of the unconventional reinvention of the Justice league that broke the mould and forged a new one for DC's premier super team, that of the Justice League International. From their ramshackle beginnings, to Batman's headmasterly leadership style, to Maxwell Lord's growing involvement, through that now iconic punch to Guy Gardner's nose and their recognition as an international super hero team and everything in between. We read the first seven issues of Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire unforgettable take on the Justice League.

This time on We've Got Back Issues, your heroes are in trouble. They're crime is life. They're sentence?... Is death. 

That's right, in this issue your hosts Sleeves and Galactosh have read the origin story of Judge Dredd's most famous villain, Judge Death, in Young Death "Boyhood of a Superfiend" straight from the pages of Judge Dredd Megazine. (And you thought we'd stick to just the American funny books). Listen now to find out what your hosts thought of Death's early days, dentistry, the reveal of the protagonists horrifying real name and just how much this blatantly rips off is a loving homage to interview with the vampire.

Drokk! Just give it a listen for gruds sake!

What's that in the sky?...Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It's the 3rd instalment of your trusty comic book podcast We’ve Got Back Issues! In this episode your heroes ponder the highs, the lows, the hype and the marketing strategy that was the Death of Superman. Come with us to a time before the advent of the comics explosion, where event stories were just that and not an annual procession, to a time when Superman was still relevant? As we look at an event comic that arguably directly lead, or at least contributed to, the great comics crash of the 90s. 

Listen as we discuss DCs Hulk rip-off and the Man of Steel knocking seven bells out of one another across the pages of 7 issues of 5 DC books until they both collapse in a bloody heap. Can a comic consist entirely of splash pages? Can the man of tomorrow survive? The title kind of gives it away! But that won't stop Sleeves and Galactosh digesting and dissecting it for your listening pleasure in what people are already calling the greatest comic book club discussion podcast?

Welcome back to The World's Greatest Comic Magazine! Even if Stan Lee does say so himself... as early as issue 4! In episode one your hosts Sleeves and Galactosh tried to revisit the first ten issues of what would become the first family of superhero comics… namely the Fantastic Four! Having bitten off a little more than they could chew for one episode they cleverly split it in two, and here's that second part! Join them as they marvel at the first Doctor Doom and Sub Mariner team up, are baffled by Kurrgo Master of Planet X, get to grips with the bizarre abilities of the Puppet Master, watch incredulously as the Fantastic Four pay off their debts by going to Hollywood to make a movie and fall about laughing at a ridiculously convoluted story in which Reed Richards and Doctor Doom switch bodies!

Excelsior true believers! Welcome to the dawn of the Marvel age of comics. Back before shared universes existed and Batman still was worried by overtures of his conduct with Robin. A age when every comic had an ape on their cover because those sold more! Join your hosts Sleeves and Galactosh as they revisit what was the last chance saloon of a future comics mogul which inadvertently gave birth to superhero comics as we know them today! Voyage with us back to the sixties, to a time before they had started to swing and Stan Lee was still only “the man” in his own head. Where superlatives were given full force and the alliteration of names first took flight. Welcome to Marvel's first family as we dive into where it all started and discover how the Fantastic Four were born... It's Clobberin' time!!
