Checkered Past

Uh-oh, looks like one of these new Legion kids is a nogoodnik, and right on the eve of an alien invasion to boot! It's the beginning of a legendary era in Legion history and Dr. Husband is on board!

Sockamagee! Robby gets sweet with Suzy AND re-introduces an unsuspecting world to the golden age great, Plastic Man! PLUS a whole new status quo for the Martian Manhunter! All this plus 1920's family scandal!

While Superboy deals with the mild annoyance of young Lex Luthor with the powers of a 5th-dimensional imp, Krypto has the most exciting day of his life and introduces us the the most exciting character finds of 1966, the Space Canine Patrol Agents!

A giant amphibious talking gorilla! A man who transforms into monstrous sea creatures! An ambulatory underwater golden robot headquarters! AND THAT'S ALL BY PAGE 3. Join me and special guest Chuck for a look at the bat$h@t crazy Sea Devils #30!

It's an 80-PAGE GIANT! Batman gives us a glimpse of his weirdest adventures! Featuring Robin, the Man Wonder! Rubber-Face Batman! And Fire Island Batman! DON'T MISS IT!

Lt. Steve Savage, Balloon Buster, has a whole lotta balloons ta bust - if he can only conquer his crippling negative self-talk! PLUS the role of "Piggy" in tonight's performance of "Lord of the Flies" will be played by Jerry Lewis!

Great grazing goats! When someone gets flown into the interior of the sun by page 3 of a 15-page story, you know it's going to be swell! Marvelous Martin Gray joins us to talk about Cliff Richard, Little House on the Prairie, and I guess a little about Lois Lane too.

Second time's a charm I guess because the first time we recorded this episode the audio disappeared, PROBABLY the result of a strange visitor from a place that is not actually a place one can be from! Not to worry, Blackhawk et al are on the job, bravely (checks notes) ditching their powerless armed jets over a populated area. Tune in, won't you?

The only thing this Woman should be Wondering is why all the gals in town go ga-ga over STEVE TREVOR of all people. Not one, but TWO love triangles this issue, as Steve fends off the advances of a Gorilla Girl AND a Nazi war criminal who MIGHT be a man in drag. All this PLUS plenty of neighborhood gossip from Mrs. Twitchycurtains aka Dr. Husband!

The real Saint Valentine came to a bloody end, but you can avoid all unpleasantness with our Valentine's Day Special! From Secret Hearts #113 comes Chapter 4 of "Reach for Happiness", dramatized for you by the Girls' Young Romance True Love Story Players! PLUS the return of Time Machine Mailbag, beauty tips from Liza Roundalot and Withers LaRue, and so much more!

Can it be? Superman choke DEAD?!? We may never know, because the super-scientific civilzation that killed him him neglected to back up their data. ROOKIE MISTAKE, SUPER-SCIENTIFIC CIVILIZATION. All this plus the super-dinnerware of Krypton, and even a shoutout to famed game-show panelist Dorothy Killgallen!

Capt. Storm is a reg'lar MacGuyver (if MacGuyver had an easily-detachible prosthetic leg and a thirst for vengeance) but the real news is the metaphysical sub-text of Capt. Hunter - could his entire Vietnam saga be happening inside his own head?

What could be more timely than a ragtag, Revolution-era band of "patriots" banding together to battle a hideous gargantuan creature whose permanent residence is in Florida? Even Captain America gets a shout-out!

BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT - Prince Ra-Man, Mind Master and Eclipso, Hero and Villain in one man - TOGETHER IN A BLAND ADVENTURE! Join us for House of Secrets #79!

Never turn your back on the heir to the throne, that's what I always say - and probably what Aquababy says, too, if anyone but Sugar and Spike could understand his confounded baby-talk language. Aquaman's in a seep-sea pickle, that's for sure, as we welcome "Hail Aquababy, New King of Atlantis!"

Ultra the Multi-Alien is in a pretty pickle (and that's NOT a euphemism for what's under the mini-skirt wearing giant from space!) Join us for a look at Mystery in Space #108!

I've got a HUNCH you'll love listening about Batman's strange new super-power of just GUESSING where crimes will occur. PLUS Elongated Man breaks the bank (and a few criminal jaws) in Monte Carlo!

Superman - no, not THAT Superman - fights the inter-dimensional criminal mastermind Muto in the far-flung future world of the 30th Century - no, not THAT 30th Century, apparently - all while avoiding his fatal weakness to (checks notes) um....WATER.

Robin and Jimmy discoevr three shrunken cities in a cave in the woods and that's not even the whackiest thing that happens in this issue! Brainiac has a secret brother! Superman is useless in a fight! And RObin doesn't even have sense enough to wear socks when he's hiking!

In which we discover that Haunted Tank stories would work just as well - better, perhaps - without the haunted part. Also, metaphorically speaking, SGT Rock talks more than a ...well, than something that talks a lot. Join us for tipsy war stories!
