Checkered Past

Dr. Bobb

From February, 1966 through August, 1967, DC Comics branded all their publications with a checkerboard masthead, lovingly known as "Go-Go Checks". Because, you know, the 60s. With the help of his husband and intrepid friends, Dr. Bobb will examine each of these issues in depth and tell you what you need to know!

  • Super fun show

    I started listening think it would be just a summary of older comic books. Which it is. But it is so much more! These two are super fun to listen to. Great show. Definitely recommend it to any comic book fan, or just someone wanting something different. You will laugh and learn about older comic books.
