Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 5: Superman: The Man of Steel #18 (1992)

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, Gentle Listeners! This time out Chris (@acecomics) shares a sappy (and perhaps precious) story from his youth... during which he went from a powerful paperboy to humble odd-jobber, all in the name of keeping up with his favorite... and some new-to-him comics!  And also, how and why this very issue never fails to remind him of Thanksgiving... or Thanksgiving Eve, mostly Thanksgiving though. -- The original blog post: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2016/02/superman-man-of-steel-18-1992.html -- Hey, you already talked about this issue!  Yes, we did... check it out, here: https://chrisandreggie.podbean.com/e/cosmic-treadmill-ep-63-the-death-of-superman-part-1/ or, here: http://weirdcomicshistory.blogspot.com/2018/04/chris-and-reggie-box-set-volume-4-death.html -- weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com www.patreon.com/chrisandreggie www.facebook.com/cosmictmill --

Cosmic Treadmill Special: Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 16

We've reached the second-half... of the second-season, and if we're being honest... it feels like, for the most part, we're just lumbering toward that finish line.  Join Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) as they examine the four Young Animal offerings for signs of truncation... and, you know them... they're probably going to kvetch about Doom Patrol's tardiness yet again! Only two episodes to go... plenty of insanity still to go around! Oh, and if you're listening to this on the day of release...

Reggie's Comics Stories ep. 4 - Bob Wood: Crime Does Not Pay, Eventually

Hey folks! In this episode of Reggie's Comics Stories, I bring you the salacious and tragic tale of Bob Wood, against the backdrop of a New York City that was a lot less put-together than was shown in contemporary media of the time! Except perhaps in that true crime magazine co-created by Wood himself, Crime Does Not Pay. It's a tale of vice, sex, and crime––and that's only what's contained in the four-color pages! Enjoy! patreon.com/chrisandreggie weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com @cosmictmill weirdcomicshistory.blogspot.com

Cosmic Treadmill Special: Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 15

"Don't know what you've got, til it's gone" - A Disney Princess (we think) It was with this flurry of episodes that Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) learned that the Young Animal imprint was going to draw to a close just three months later.  It was bittersweet news, to say the very least... but somehow, we managed to keep our will to live.

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 4: Justice League America #52 (1991) PLUS: The Story of Super-Blog Team-Up!

Yes... we're only four episodes in... it's another bwah-ha-ha book, but there's a special reason for that.  And really, that's not the meat and potatoes of this episode anyway.  This time out, Chris (@acecomics) is joined by another Chris... Chris Bailey (@Charlton_Hero) of the SuperHero Satellite who shares the origins of the Mighty Super-Blog Team-Up! After Chris (the usual one) discusses his first offering to #SuperBlogTeamUp, Chris (the other one) shares his comic book "secret origin"!  From his early days, reading coverless comics that missed the trash can... to his introduction to the internet comics community.  Then... the main event, from the germ of an idea of a blogging crossover, to what became the Super-Blog Team-Up! All that... plus, a special announcement!  It's a great time... check it out!
