Enemies of mankind beware! Here comes… Dallas Busha<\/strong>, A.K.A. “The Host” – with the ability to stop any conversation mid-sentence for a music break! Don Moore<\/strong>, A.K.A. “The Straight Guy” – with the power to see both sides of a debate! Al Val<\/strong>, A.K.A. “Dr. Morbius<\/a>” – with the power to bring Monster Magazines back into fashion! And Jim Johnson<\/strong>, A.K.A. “The Comic Shop Guy”, with the ability to dismiss any art by Don Heck<\/a><\/strong> as “rubbish”!<\/p>\n

Tucked away at their underground hideout, the gang discusses numerous comic strips and comic books. Don<\/strong> reviews the wonderful Exploring Calvin And Hobbes: An Exhibition Catalogue<\/a>. This leads the boys to a trip down memory lane, as they talk about their favorite comic strips including The Far Side<\/a>, Bloom County<\/a>, Peanuts<\/a>, Pogo<\/a>, Krazy Kat<\/a>, Doonesbury<\/a>, Popeye<\/a> and Flash Gordon<\/a>. Don<\/strong> continues his review streak and talks about “Corto Maltese: Under the Sign of Capricorn<\/a>” by the legendary Hugo Pratt<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The entire gang discusses the wonderful absurdity of 50’s comics such as “Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen<\/a>” and “Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane<\/a>” (as well as the impact these books have on modern books such as All Star Superman<\/a> by Grant Morrison<\/a><\/strong>) Finally, Al<\/strong> relishes in monster magazines both old and new, such as Famous Monsters Of Filmland<\/a> and Scary Monsters Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n
