What's better than four manly men  jammed into a tiny tank interior? Four manly men talking about war comics, THAT'S what! We are joined by the Battlin' Bros, Max and Rich from the Weird Warriors Podcast to discuss Haunted Tanks, dishonored soldiers, Star Trek/Wars, and oh so much more!

The Hardly-Haunted Tank (G.I.Combat 119)

Opposites Attract (World's Finest 159)

7-11 Hot Dogs! Witchy neighbors! Broken toes! Picking up dog poop! All of these, and many more, are subjects we apparently prefer to discuss instead of the penultimate appearance of Ultra, the Multi-Alien...but you should listen in anyway. It'll be fun, I promise!

My Bonnie Lies Over the Sofa (Mystery in Space 109)

Pity poor Miklos, turned into a sponge creature and then hounded to the ends of the earth - er, I mean the depths of the sea. Don't fret, the Sea Devils are here to help the Challs get to he bottom of things, along with the triumphant return of Neptimus!

Never Trust a Brunette (Challengers of the Unknown 51)

The Blackhawks stumble their way through defeating Mr. Quick-Change, who manages to conceal his true identity through the clever use of *checks notes* a goattee. Join the fun, won't you?

Caught With Your Pants Down (Blackhawk 223)

Despite having attained cult goofy villain status, the Bug-Eyed Bandit isn't even referred to by that name in-story, and doesn't appear in costume until the last 2 pages! Gardner Fox wrote it, Gil Kane drew it, Dr. Husband loved it, and oh yes, Ray and Jean get engaged!

You Want Flies With That? (The Atom 26)

Easy Co. doesn't have it so easy THIS time - not only are the Krauts on their tle, but a kooky old brain-addled WWI vet to boot!  Thank God for the famed hospitality of French maidens! Join us for Our Army at War 170!

Runnin' Up That Hill (Our Army at War 170)

Batman, a no-good layabout? Say it ain't so! But if it's between being a layabout and falling into the clutches of that floozie Poison Ivy, I bet I know what Robin's vote would be!

For the Love of Ivy (Batman 183)

This episode has it all - The Justice League, the Justice Society, Lulu, good Sekowsky art, the approval of a teenager, AND Jennifer DeRoss!

Best of Both Worlds (Justice League of America #46-47)

Flash has his dissipating hands full when the whole of Central City forgets he ever existed!  PLUS, Abra-Kadabra switches minds with a 64th-Century fashion icon and takes a trip to the Magic Castle!

A My Name is Abra (Flash 163)

Elasti-Girl and Mento are newleyweds and ready to settle into domestic bliss - if only Mento could convince her to give up her pesky independence! PLUS the menace of Mr. 103 and the emotional abuse of Beast Boy!

HoneyDOOM, m'iright? (Doom Patrol 105-106)

Batman vs Weather Wizard in a fight to the finish! Robin sidelined due to poor basketball technique! Elongated Man led astray by gypsy tea leaves! PLUS the forgotten art of Art Frahm!

Stormy Weather (Detective Comics 353)

Two Strange Adventures stalwarts make their costumed debuts this week (if you consider a newly-reincarnated adult body a "costume") as Animal Man and Immortal Man fight off threats worldly and under-wordly! We discuss a lost opportunity for a Krypto team-up PLUS the jarring ramifiactions of falling in love with someone who dies every three days!

"A" is for Afterlife (Strange Adventures 190)

Jimmy and Superman, on the outs! Supergirl, dressed like a bug! PLUS lots of neighborhood reporting, and a display of our utter ignorance on basic facts of insect gender roles!

They Shoot Tiger Beetles, Don't They? (Jimmy Olsen #94)

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!
