    My Comics History: Nov/Dec 1978

    My Comics History: Nov/Dec 1978

    Welcome to my comics history, where I explore the comics I read and bought through the years. Despite the fact that I purchased no comics in November or December that year, I still recorded an episode! I do talk about some comics that came out during those months and then discuss an adaptation of one of my favorite sci-fi franchises: Marvel Comics Super Special #8: Battlestar Galactica.

    "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" (in Amazing Spider-Man v1 #248)

    "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" (in Amazing Spider-Man v1 #248)

    Troy Wilson, children's book author and comic fan, joins me to talk about "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" from Amazing Spider-Man v1 #248. It's a great conversation about an 11-page story, which could very well be a perfect one.
