    BONUS - Heroes for Hope w/ Alex Goldman

    Returning guest and newly-christened friend of the show ALEX GOLDMAN is here to talk to us about a bizarre Exquisite Corpse-style comic Marvel did in 1985 for famine relief - without asking any of the related charities beforehand. Featuring an unbelievable roster of creators, this whole does not quite equal the sum of its parts. Topics Discussed: Does Stan Lee know what's happening? Kill the mailman. Catholic Hades. Alex Goldman as the next Wolverine. The ol' drowning-your-friends prank. My favorite soup! Wolverine's Banana. 5000 words for 3 pages. Alan Moore nails it. Unicorn trap! A naked Logan, hair normal. Having a threesome with yourself. Storm hit in the face with a pie. The precise location of "Africa". Poverty porn for middle-class Americans. The co-creators of Swamp Thing AND Man-Thing.
