Jacked Kirby Cultural Compulsive Disorder

Recording this episode on Tax Day (April 15th) gave us a good excuses to talk about "The Mystery of the Tax Collector from Space!", a funky little alien story from Tales Of Suspense issue 33 (Marvel Comics, June 1962)! Plus movies involving taxes & finance, and the usual Jacked Kirby crackin’ around! Fun stuff!
