Had he lived, Jack Kirby would have been 98. Al starts it off with a discussion that without The King’s influence, would comic books have taken a more boring direction? Don brings Dave Gibbons’ Watching The Watchmen book, and they finish with a quick Pullapalooza.

Big fan of you guys. Stumbled across your show a few months ago and have since listened to nearly all of them. You’ve got fans in Philly, keep up the good work.
Thanks Al! How did you find us?
i was trying out different shows and yours is the only one that doesn’t focus on new releases and upcoming events/crossovers that hold no interest for me. pullapalooza is a nice touch. i could listen to conversations about Kirby, Toth, Barks, etc all day.
Our kind of people.
