Fantasy Comic Book Editor League Greg Petix

And lo, there shall come an ending! With this episode, we conclude our 60 year history of the Amazing Comics Group. Never before has a comic book company that never existed been so extensively chronicled, and so ineptly documented. Our host will have to contend with his rotten reality lacking the relief valve which this podcast provided him. He is seriously considering buying a Monster Manual, or at least some Fentanyl. But to be honest, he’ll probably break down and record a second season, which will simply retell the history all over again even more compulsively. Don’t forget, this podcast is categorized under Mental Health, and what’s more edifying than seeing a person’s mind deteriorating in real time. Be on the look out for his upcoming podcasts Fantasy Quizno’s Manager’s League, Fantasy Safeway Shopper’s League, and Fantasy Alcoholics Anonymous Sponsor’s League. This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

The patient’s Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder fully kicks in and forces him to record an episode that mostly reiterates another episode with a few changes. Living the vida loca sounds way funner than it actually is.

Last podcast cut off by Anchor due to one hour limit. Listened, drank more, trimmed recording, published, then immediately recorded this. Kept drinking. I have to work tomorrow. What are you doing, Dave. Daisy, daisy, give me your answer troooohr…

After hitting rock bottom this week, our wasted and wounded Patient hastily concocts a barely-coherent fantasy comic book company just so he can escape into the womb-like purgatory of his ponderous podcast. Lacking a looking glass, wardrobe, Mother Box, or a pair of ruby slippers, he escapes reality with only a bottle of ersatz bourbon and his unconditional love of comics. A cautionary tale.

In this issue, we shine a little more light on Fun Weekly, our comic book for the wee ones. Then again, how many adults would shit their pants in delight if they could ever find issue #47? Swaddled in a Mac Raboy Captain Marvel Family cover, Otto Binder and C.C. Beck serve up a 15 page adventure of them, Basil Wolverton brings us a 4 page Scoop Scuttle knee-slapper, Carl Barks sends Justin Time and his Uncle Scrooge back to the Aztec Empire for a meaty 12 pager, a center spread luxuriously reprints a Little Nemo In Slumberland by Winsor McCay, George Carlson delivers another delightful Jingle Jangle Tale, Walt Kelly gives us a Pogo and Albert story, John Stanley supplies a perfect kid comic, and Boody Rogers tops it off with a Sparky Watts story. Superb!

In his mission to further illuminate the not-so-brightly lit corners of the Amazing Comics Group, our Host describes the various features of Amazing Weekly with a wit wetted by wine and Pepsi. Take #116 for example. Cover by L.B. Cole, a Thun’da story by Frank Frazetta, a Plastic Man adventure by Jack Cole, Spacehawk by Basil Wolverton, a western tale by Everett Raymond Kinstler, a Prince Valiant reprint by Hal Foster, a classic post-war Spirit by Will Eisner, Hey Look by Harvey Kurtzman, a romance comic by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Babe by Boody Rogers, and a Bernard Krigstein story. Now that’s a gonga!
