Episode 17: Back Issue Banter #17: "Have Yourself A Sandman Little Christmas" (1972)
It's time once again for our annual ho-ho-holiday episode and this year, we're talking about the classic first issue of Marvel Team-Up #1 from 1972, in which Spider-Man and The Human Torch go up against -- who else -- the Sandman, in the aptly titled "Have Yourself A Sandman Little Christmas."It's a fun story, set against the backdrop of Christmas in New York City in the early 70s, written by Roy Thomas, with art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. It's always fun going back to the Marvel age of comics, back during a time when a single issue comic could tell a complete story with fun, plenty of action, and heroes cracking wise and trying to crack the villain's plans.Will Spidey and the Torch vanquish the Sandman and get some holiday spirit? LIsten to this podcast and find out!Your ho-ho-hosts are Brad Page and Chris Karam.Happy Holidays to one and all!

Episode 63: Mr. K's Super Show #63: David Bowie: Five Albums
We're taking another look at that rock and roll chameleon, David Bowie.And this time, Brad Page (I'm In Love With That Song podcast) and me picked five of our favorite David Bowie albums and talked about why we like them so much. With a catalog as vast as Bowie's, five albums only scratch the surface of what made him great, but if we discussed every album he made, this podcast would go on forever and we'd be two lads insane.We had fun talking up our favorite tracks, as well as the trivia and Ziggy-zags that are a part of each episode. We hope you'll rock and roll with us and that this episode is just hunky dory.

Episode 16: Back Issue Banter #16: The Question (1987)
Here at Back Issue Banter, we try to come up with answers as to why we love classic comics, but this time we're examining The Question.We're taking a look at DC Comics' 1987 revival of The Question and to help us unravel this, we brought on a guest. Brian Linnen (Permanent Record Podcast) chose this month's topic, so it's only fitting that he chatted with us about this enigmatic character created by Steve Ditko, who originally appeared as one of the Charlton Comics heroes...or anti-heroes.The Question is a different type of comic -- no long underwear types here -- and it was great fun dissecting and talking about this.Hosted by Chris Karam and Brad Page.Check out Brian Linnen's Permanent Record Podcast: https://www.permanentrecordpodcast.com/
