This episode I’m participating in Comics Theme Month on the topic of Politics in Comics.  I talk about the early writings of Steve Englehart on titles like Captain America and The Avengers and how the political scandals of the seventies effected his writing and in turn his writing effected me.

Mmmm, another tasty lunch time episode! This episode features the follow-up  to the Baltimore Comic Con episode, including a rebuttal from Melville’s Fist!

Enter the Drawerbox and Recent Reads sort of blur together into one segment with discussion on Valiant’s SOLAR and SHADOWMAN series,  Marvel’s SECRET INVASION, WASTELAND from Oni Press, DC’s STARMAN Hardcover series, and a mystery series that I just can’t drop from my pull list.

Soup’s On!  Get it while it’s HOT!

Okay, well not really.  But you CAN see what I’ve already entered into the database so far.  We’re at roughly 10,000 books entered into Collectorz.com’s Comic Collector software.  They have a nice export to html feature that makes creating a web site of your comics a snap.  Check it out here!

There is also a link on the right side of the site for future reference.  And while I’m bringing up the web links on the side, I’m also adding links to Comic Collector and Drawerboxes… because I love both products and I think you will too!
