Our walk through the non-superhero history of DC Comics is back with a look at licensed properties comics. And this one is full of guest stars! Stella! Andy Leyland! Charo! Brett Panarese! The 1972 Miami Dolphins! People who steal other people’s tired bits!
This episode starts off with Stella (Batgirl to Oracle) sitting down with me at Starbucks to talk about a story from a Dale Evans comic from the 1940s. Then I head to the 1970s and bring you the hot rod racin’ action of Hot Wheels! After that, we head into the 1980s and Andy Leyland (Hey Kids, Comics! The Palace of Glittering Delights) and I talk about the first issue of V: The Comic Book. Finally, I sit down with Brett for an issue of Scooby-Doo Team-Up. All the stars are here, waitin’ for you!

Part commentary, part memoir, this is an exploration of my weird love for the obscure and for those things that sorta suck.
