This is Comic Geeks Speak episode 1518, off the racks. I was trying to see how that one goes.

I didn't hit the fade-out one.

Kicking it old school, but I hit the wrong one.

Welcome to the show.

I am Shane Kelly.

I'm Adam Murdo.

And I'm Chris Eberley.

And this is our off-the-racks episode where we talk about three comics we picked from a previous previews to pontificate a pot. That was a good amount of piece. Well, done, sir. You can add another one. What's that? If you said pontificate a pawn. Oh, yeah. The economics of alliteration. Excellent. It doesn't hurt that I've been listening to the first season of Batman in the 60s show all week. Do you have the box set as well? Yes, yes, I broke down and bought that monstrously expensive thing. It's so great. Bill Dozier has possessed your brain. Wow. Side note, then, I got to tell you about something. Side note, the only negative about that, they did not include the back girl pilot in it. No, I was kind of. Which I was hoping they would have because I've never seen it. I would too. I was hoping that too. I didn't realize the second season quote had 60 episodes in it, which blows my mind.

I didn't realize that the gentleman, I forget his name at the moment, Mird probably knows it,

that voiced Batman in the Super Friends cartoons was a newscaster in one of the episodes.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Oh, wow.

Olin something.

Yes, Olin's.

I'm listening to the episode and all of a sudden I'm like, that sounds like Batman from the cartoon. And I pause it, and I go to the inner webs and I start searching in Son of a Gunn, if it wasn't him, before Super Friends, all stuff came out. Larry was doing newscaster on a Batman episode. Olin's soul. Apparently that was his name. It didn't sound right because it rhymed with itself, but apparently it was.

Now, that was his name. It didn't sound right because it rhymed with itself, but apparently it was. Now that was 1996 and he looked grandfatherly to me. Because he makes Batman sound grandfatherly in the Super Friends. Yeah. But that was kind of neat to see him. I don't know that I've ever seen a picture of him before. So I took a picture of it on my phone. I'll show you that.

Oh, fabulous. All right. This episode, though, is sponsored by Discount Comic Book Service. That's DCBService.com. Go to their website for all your pre-ordering needs.

Let's see. There are specials this week that I see. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, number one, is 50% off, which is a future off the rack.

The Rock Raccoon Premium Hardcover Volume 1 chasing tail is half off.

I like that book. My boy loves that book.

So even though I have the issues, I'm going to order the darn hardback.

How many printings has that first issue gone through by now?
