Mr. K's Super Show #78: KISS: Road To Reunion (with Lee Conrad)

30 years ago, the hottest band in the land (KISS) reunited with its original lineup of Paul, Gene, Peter, & Ace and took over the concert landscape, eclipsing top grossers like Garth Brooks, among others. The Alive Worldwide tour reinvigorated KISS and brought them back to prominence after years of diminishing returns.  Lee Conrad (KISSstory Science Theatre) had much to say about this significant period in...wait for it...KISSstory! We had fun discussing KISS as always and how a series of events led to the reunion that the fans had been demanding for years!

Back Issue Banter #30: Green Lantern / Green Arrow

Let's take a trip back to the turbulent 70s, when a comic book dared to tackle the real life issues that plagued America!   Of course, we're covering the legendary Green Lantern / Green Arrow run by Denny O' Neil and Neal Adams, which dared to take on such burning issues as bigotry, sexism, and an unflinching look at the perils of drug abuse. This would change the course of modern comics, making the comic companies realize they could balance super heroics with gritty realism.  The comics world would never be the same...

Mr. K's Super Show #77: Rollermania Takes Over The U.S. In '76! (with Laura Donahue Brady and Debbie Smith Clarke)

50 years ago, a boy band from the UK -- more specifically, Scotland -- overtook America during it's Bicentennial year and the US hasn't been the same ever since. It was the year that The Bay City Rollers occupied the hearts of minds of every young woman in America and to that end, two of those young ladies have returned to share their thoughts on what it was like to be a Rollermaniac back in 1976! Laura Donahue Brady (Dedication - Fans Remember The Bay City Rollers) and uberfan Debbie Smith Clarke were not shy about sharing their memories of what it was like to be young and in love with five boys from a land far, far away. As the Rollers' year started off with their first #1 hit in the US, it was a sign that the Tartan clad BCR would take over and we had a lot of fun talking about it!

Back Issue Banter #29: Batman Odyssey

For this change-of-pace episode we review one of the most interesting and challenging works of artist / writer Neal Adams, namely, his maxi series Batman Odyssey from the early 2010s. Describing this work is something that goes beyond mere words, as it's a challenging read from one of Batman's most famous creators and does not easily fit into any established genre, much less a traditional Batman story. But it did trigger a very interesting and involved conversation, as we try to puzzle out this um...enigmatic work. Your hosts are Brad Page and Chris Karam
