I'm back and in a new home!  For the first time, I'm recording from an actual attic! I talk a little about my new comic rooms and my comic-reading renaissance.  In doing so, I discuss the character/series of Robin and early issues of the Fantastic Four.  I also mention a new (to me) comic shop I visited, The Amazing Spiral.  (21:09)

I mention it every episode, but never give the url.  Here's the link to The League of Comic Book Podcasts.

I really miss podcasting, and I will try to get back to some kind of more frequent schedule.  Meanwhile, if you haven't already, check out my other podcast pages: The Cinematic Attic and The Attic of Babel.
