King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Ep 023 The Power of Shazam GN

Do you like over-sized comics? Comics with extended page counts like DC’s 80 Page Giants, 100 Page Super Spectaculars, and Dollar Comic Giants or Marvel’s King-Size Annuals, Giant-Size Specials, and Double-Sized Issues? How about the physically larger Treasury Comics? Then welcome to the King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Podcast, join me your host, Kyle Benning, on a one man mission to brave the elements and review over-sized comics in my car during my lunch hour.

Welcome to the 23rd Episode of King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Podcast! This time out, I'm joined by podcasting legend, J David Weter, of Dave's Daredevil Podcast!

Dave joins me to discuss a comic we both have a real fondness for, the 1994 original graphic novel, The Power of Shazam, by the extraordinary Jerry Ordway. As always you can subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, or download the episode directly here: King-Size Comics Giant-Size Fun Ep 023 The Power of Shazam GN

I want to give J David Weter a big thank you, I really appreciated him coming on and enhancing the podcast, and saving my butt when the recording on my end failed (for those keeping track at home, that makes my recordings 0 for 3 when I have a guest on via skype). Thanks again Dave! Be sure to check out his show, DAVE'S DAREDEVIL PODCAST,it's one of the best comic podcasts out there!

CRISIS ON MULTIPLE EARTHS Ep 003 Flash #137

Welcome to the second episode of the CRISIS ON MULTIPLE EARTHS PODCAST, a show dedicated to covering the stories chronicling the adventures and team-ups of the Justice Society of America of Earth-2 and their Earth-1 counterparts the Justice League of America. Each episode will be devoted to a single issue of one of these Crisis crossovers, so join me, your host Kyle Benning, as I chronologically work through the 8 volumes of Crisis on Multiple Earths and Crisis on Multiple Earth Team-Ups TPBs. 

This time out I once again dive into the Crisis on Multiple Earths Volume 1 TPB to examine the second meeting of the Flash of Earth-1 Barry Allen and the Flash of Earth-2 Jay Garrick, as told in the story from Flash #137, titled "Vengeance of the Immortal Villain." The issue originally went on sale April 18th 1963 and was written by Gardner Fox, penciled by Carmine Infantino, and inked by Joe Giella.

You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes under the King-Size Comics Giant Size Fun Podcast feed, or download the episode directly here:CRISIS ON MULTIPLE EARTHS EP 003 Flash #137


As I mentioned in the podcast, the mask Hawkman wears in this one is a unique "hybrid" mask of sorts that only ever appears in this issue, never to be seen again. Check out the mask Hawkman wore in Flash #137:

Compared to the mask he wore in Flash Comics #96: 

And finally the yellow cowl mask he wore in All-Star Comics #57 and wears in next episode's adventure Justice League of America #21.
