| 0:00.0 | Tom versus the Freedom Fighters number one or you talking to me? |
| 0:03.7 | Are you talking to me? |
| 0:20.0 | Welcome back for the March, April, 1976 issue featuring a cover by Ernie Chan. |
| 0:25.9 | And our story for today has no title. |
| 0:29.1 | It fits. |
| 0:30.2 | As we get into it, plotted by Jerry Conway, scripted by Marty Pascoe, penciled by Rick Estrada, inked, lettered by Mike Royed by Mike Royer and we're back Hey everyone Thank you for listening That's right I'm going to be doing this on the Patreon Once twice a month Low pressure You know like I don't like the weight Of the world on me So I can do this Every once in a while.
