Cosmic Treadmill ep. 116 - Action Comics Weekly: Green Lantern, Part Three (1988/89)

Welcome back, comics enthusiasts! In this episode, our weary weekly warriors Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) continue their look at the Green Lantern stories included in Action Comics Weekly, tackling issues #624 to #635 from 1988 and 1989! Consisting of one long story written by Christopher Priest and drawn by M.D. Bright, our calendar-efficient pair tackle every sweet second of Hal Jordan's dalliance with Captain Atom, and his meeting a three-hundred year-old ring-bearer named Malvolio! It's the only time this character ever appeared in comic books, so you won't want to miss it!

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.
