In 1993 a guy no one ever heard of decided to take a chance and self publish a comic book. He self published a comic about a love triangle between two women and a guy in an industry dominated by super-heroes and at a time where foil covers ruled the world. Now over a decade later, we can look back and marvel at what Terry Moore has accomplished with his first work in the comic book world. Join me for a look back at Strangers in Paradise, Volumes 1 & 2.

Mother’s Day Weekend and I still managed to kick out a podcast. My monthly box of goodies arrived from DCBS this week, which means lots of Recent Reads to talk about in this episode. But before that, a quick look at the trailer for Wolverine and the X-Men and the announcement of J. Michael Stracynski on Brave and the Bold. Plus another comparative look at Heroes Corner Mail Order versus Discount Comic Book Service.

I’ll be honest, this episode is not my finest hour and I basically ramble and babble on for the entire thing, but the episode is SAVED by wonderful audio comments that were submitted by Gargoyle and New Mutant from thecomicforums.com.  In it I learn that New Mutant is in fact, NOT British.

Covered in this episode, Season 12 of the classic Doctor Who series, including the following serials:

• The Ark in Space
• The Sontaran Experiment
• Genesis of the Daleks
• Revenge of the Cybermen

Listen to the episode and then let me know your feelings/thoughts on Genesis of the Daleks by emailing to JBCBDB@gmail.com.  Keep those audio comments coming… they really do save these shows!
