Cosmic Treadmill #134 - The Flash #268 (1978)

Greeting, citizens of Central City! In this episode, comics enthusiasts Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) look at the hobby of comics collecting--as depicted in a comic book, when we read The Flash# 268 by Cary Bates and Irv Novick, published in 1978! After the usual biographical information, our plodding speedsters go through every page of the issue and try to figure out what makes The Flash vol. 1 # 26 just so darned special! After a little break, our bin-divers discuss the Golden Age issue in question, and then look at a history of cosplay and costuming. You don't want to miss this one, don't let it teleport away!

Hiya, folks! This week, Reggie (@reggiereggie) is reading three essays from the book Hey Kids, Comics!: True-Life Tales From the Spinner Rack, edited by Rob Kelly, published in 2013. Highlighting stories by Doug Slack, Steve Englehart, and Richard Harland Smith, Reggie provides a little background for each author before delving into their secret comic book origins. At the end, Reggie provides a little context for his own passage into comic book enthusiasm! It's a real love-fest of four-color funnybooks, don't miss it!
