    S2E06 "A Clockwork Horror"

    "'They are incapable of raising their hands against their neighbors.' Those were the little clockmaker's words.

  6. EPISODE 7

    S2E07 "The Night of the Bat"

    "This man...will just keep coming...until one of us...is dead...!" In a very special episode, legendary comics artist Kelley Jones comes on the podcast to discuss Swamp Thing #7 "The Night of the Bat" by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson where Swamp Thing journeys to Gotham and encounters Batman. It's a break from the usual format, perhaps becoming more "The Comics That Made Us", but we have a wide ranging conversation about the issue, 70s comics, Bernie Wrightson, working with Len Wein, and many other topics. I hope you have as much fun listening as we had recording it.
