  • Love it!

    A great show that I’ve been really enjoying. I particularly love the horror focused stuff, although the other comic episodes are really entertaining as well. Looking forward to more episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Brave and the Bob! Episode 76, The Brave and the Bold 150, 1979 w/Mart Gray!
Q: What do you make of Batman with eyeballs and the use of heat vision and other powers in this story?
The dialogue about Batman's eyes and the unusual panel choices reflect the era's experimental art style, and while some readers find the visual flair appealing, others may prefer more traditional depictions; overall it's a bold aesthetic choice that fits the 1970s experimental mood.
The Brave and the Bob! Episode 76, The Brave and the Bold 150, 1979 w/Mart Gray!
Q: What do you think of this anniversary issue as a wrap-up for the Fifty-Six era Brave and the Bold run?
The issue reads as a lively, busy celebration of Haney and Apparo's long collaboration, with a guest star who adds novelty while the core dynamic remains Batman chasing a wild, offbeat mystery; it's entertaining, though some readers might wish for a tighter capstone rather than the rapid, multi-thread storytelling.
Magazines and Monsters Episode 12, From Beyond the Unknown 20, 1972!
Q: What inspired your biography of Gardner Fox?
I started working on Gardner Fox for a class project and realized how much he contributed to comics, leading me to pursue a biography on him.
