New Mutants #41.  The New Mutants comic was one of my favorite books as a young reader.  My first issue was #45, but I was able to find recent previous issues soon after, including this one.  This solo Mirage (Dani Moonstar) story was a wonderful character study with beautiful artwork.  Mirage travels home and finds herself in a showdown with death.  I remember reading this comic on a sunny day in front of a picture window, thoroughly finding myself inside the story.  Go get it!

Hi, all!  Yes, there is indeed a V-day episode ready to go.  However, you will have to wait until next week because I haven't enough space to post it til then... unless someone out there would like to give me money to pay for more space on libsyn.  Well?  How about it?  ........no?  =sigh= Very well.  Next week it is.  But hey, the wife guests, so it is garunteed fun. 

A "lost episode" episode featuring a review of Supreme Power #1 (special edition).  Also, an account of comic-buying on my honeymoon last year with a review of Top 10: Forty-niners.  I end with a big ole song by my friend Dan.  Any cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders.  (29:22)

Here, in Captain America #224, Cap goes through disorientation as his face seems to have changed, his memory is whacky, and he has some painful bumps on his arm... what has happened?  This issue, when I was a kid, was so odd and offbeat, that it took several reads to straighten out the flashbacks (a hazard of being a kid and knowing nothing).  But, this was one of my first comics, and it has a striking cover.  We also get a guest appearance from the Avengers (did I ever mention that I love Beast as an Avenger?).  This would have been my first Cap comic too.

DC Comics Presents #97.  Another favorite from childhood-- but, frankly, many of these favorite comics will be.  I know that will make these favorite picks biased because of sentimental value.  Oh, well.  As long as you folks know that too, I suppose.  Anyway, this was the first issue of DC Comics Presents I bought and, ironically, the last issue produced.  I'll never understand why they would want to cancel it three issues shy of #100.  I enjoyed this issue because it was offbeat and rather dark (at least for a naive kid in the 1980s reading comics).  It's Superman vs. the Phantom Zone criminals in a story that was psychological and dreamlike.  I generally love the DC Comics Presents series.  I always buy a back issue if I see one, and one day in the far future, I may actually find all the issues.  If anyone has any they want to get rid of, let me know!

Here's one villain who believes in equal treatment for humans and animals-- as evidenced by the dog with the bound front paws... From Nation-Wide's Captain Atom #2.

A silver and gold review of Nation-Wide's 1951 Captain Atom #2 and some listener feedback.  Any cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders. (27:07)
