Chris and Reggie "Box-Set", Volume 12: Hal Jordan's Action Comics

During the month of November, 2018... we examined an often-overlooked era for Hal Jordan... and the pit-stop he made between runs of his own ongoing title as the leading man of Action Comics during its weekly incarnation.
Join us for nearly six-hours of discussion and analysis... and follow along as Hal learns a bit about his ring, meets Oprah Winfrey, ends his icky (and arguably illegal) relationship with Arisia, and faces off with the Greatest Super-Villain you've never heard of... Lord Malvolio!

Chris & Reggie "Box-Set", Volume 11
Weird Comics History: The Direct Market

Enjoy our two-part look into how comics got "here".  From the early days of newsstand distribution to how the fandom itself facilitated the secondary market... and how the simple premise of "no returns" turned the entire industry on its ear.

Chris & Reggie "Box-Set", Volume 10: 1980's DC Comics Public Service Announcements

For this box-set, we decided to compile those Reagan-era Public Service Announcement comics DC put out.  What're those?  Well... for some context:

Between the years 1983 and 1986, DC Comics... in association with various companies (including Keebler, the American Soft Drink Company, IBM, and American Honda) as well as the United States Government, put out five special comic books.

Three of these comics featured the New Teen Titans, and were presented by The President's Drug Awareness Campaign (featuring a letter from then-First Lady... and potential Manhunter... Nancy Reagan).  The remaining two starred Supergirl.  Those were presented by the United States Department of Transportation's National Safety Belt Campaign (these opened with a letter from then-Secretary of Transportation, Elizabeth Dole).

We covered the lot of 'em... and now, you can find our thoughts right here in this handy "box-set".

Chris & Reggie "Box-Set", Volume 8 - Charlton Comics

Two episodes still counts as a "box set", right?  Well, it's good enough for us... and if it saves folks from having to hunt them down in our all-too confusing archives, then... all the better!

In these two episodes, we break down the rise... and fall of Charlton Comics.  We discuss the founders, and their chance meeting inside a jail cell... to the "in-house" production model (using a printing press that was once used for cereal boxes... and it shows!), the staffers, the great flood... and whatever happened with those "Action Heroes" we all know and love.

Chris & Reggie "Box-Set", Volume 6: The First Five

For this week's "Box-Set" we're going old-school... compiling the first five "pre-historic" episodes of Weird Comics History... before we even numbered 'em!

It's awkward... and (at least in the first episode) hard to hear at least one of your hosts... but they're still pretty fun!

These episodes are also available on our YouTube... and have been assembled into a Playlist:
