Fresh Eyes on Old Books #4 by Dan!
The emmy goes to… Top Chef! And no one really cares. Dan talks about old comics… and everyone cares! Batman #126 from 1959.

Absolutely. The 60’s was a time to let the world buy whatever they wanted, but then trick them into getting more! This issue has a little bit of everything for JLA fans. We get Snapper Carr, Doctor Destinty and plenty of ridiculous hijinks. The issue itself was… interesting? I’m not sure if that’s quite the right word. Sometimes I honestly had no idea … Continue reading
