Have you read the first issue of the new Brave and the Bold series?  It conjured memories of fun old 70s DC team-up comics and appropriately so, I suppose.  It's the most fun I've had reading a comic in a while.  To celebrate the new Brave and the Bold series, I selected this issue (#197) of the old series, which is one of my favorite comics from childhood.  It contains a wonderful story about the golden age Batman and Catwoman.  Although I don't remember the details of the issue (and I can't go look at it; it's stored away), I remember it being quite moving at the time...

To accompany the last show, here's a nice batch of western comics owned by Rod.

In this episode:  Recent finds.  News about episode 50.  Talk about Civil War #7.  Ghost Rider movie.  Reviews of Western Gunfighters #32, Ghost Rider(1967) #6, and Kid Colt, Outlaw #121.  Listener feedback. (32:27) All cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders.

A "lost episode" episode with unaired segments from last July, including then-new reviews of Uncanny X-Men #476, Civil War #3, X-Factor #9, Civil War: Frontline #3, Thunderbolts #104, She-Hulk #9, Eternals #2, Transformers: Infiltration #6, and Justice League of America #0.  Also, back issue reviews of Star-Spangled War Stories #142, 144, 148, Masters of the Universe: The Shard of Darkness trade, Fantastic Four(vol.3) #18, Gambit #10, and Dr. Peculiar #1.  (33:48) All cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders.

My wife joins me for a (late) Valentine's Day episode discussing old DC romance comics, namely Girls' Romances #108 and Super DC Giant #S-21. (40:44) All cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders.

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.
