20 : Matt and Cale Read "Radioactive Man" (Part 1‪)‬ Matt and Cale Read Comics

Our comic aficionados celebrate 20 episodes with a deep dive into one of Matt's (and Bart Simpson's) favourite comic: "Radioactive Man"! 
A spin-off of "The Simpsons," this six-part limited series was published from 1993 to 1994 by Bongo Comics. Radioactive Man is a love letter/parody/deconstruction/celebration of superhero comics, jumping between time periods from issue to issue. And in classic "Simpsons" style, it's hilarious! We had so much to say about this series (by Steve & Cindy Vance and Bill Morrison) that this is our second ever two-part episode! 
In part one, we will discuss the characters and the first two issues in depth (Issue #1 from 1952 and Issue #88 from 1962). Bongo Comics is now defunct and the series is out of print, so why not make a trip to your local comic book store and explore the back issues? 
Join us in two weeks for the second part of this episode, where we discuss the remaining four issues (Issue #216 from 1972, Issue 412 from 1980, Issue #679 from 1986 and Issue #1,000 from 1995).
