On One-Shot Wonders with Adam Philips, I'll look at comics that came and went in the blink of an eye. Whether they star super-heroes we all know and love, like Spider-Man or Superman, or characters you've never even heard of -- Fruitman, anyone? -- I'll talk about them on One-Shot Wonders. We'll have guest-stars to talk about their favorite one-shots, including some who wrote or drew the titles we're talking about! New episodes on Tuesdays!

Customer Reviews
An enjoyable journey through lesser known but fascinating comics
This podcast provides a fun discussion of a different one-shot comic in each episode. Funny, informative, and well-paced. Adam knows his comics, and gives an educated and appreciative fan’s perspective on what’s to like (and sometimes not like) about these comics, as well as shedding some light on the “how/why did this get made” question that naturally arises with some of the stranger one shots.
