We're joined by Jason Farrell, Matt's former co-host of THE BOOKHOUSE BOYS podcast, to talk about TARGITT, written by RIC MEYERS with art by HOWARD NOSTRAND. John Targitt is a defective clone made from DNA of Frank Bullitt, Harry Callahan, and Paul Kersey (Bronson's character from Death Wish). He's an FBI agent who wages an all-out war on crime after his wife & daughter are caught in the crossfire of syndicate violence.

For our final season, we're covering the short life of Martin Goodman's Atlas/Seaboard comics by reviewing all the debut issues from their line.

We're joined by Jared from the SWORDS & SCROLLS podcast to talk about WULF THE BARBARIAN, written and drawn by LARRY HAMA with inks by KLAUS JANSON. Hama created a character who's a "barbarian" in name only. "Wulf the Warrior" would have been a better name, but we suspect the shot-callers were chasing Conan's audience.

Martin Goodman wanted to offer a robust & varied line of comics to compete with Marvel, DC, et al, so he needed a teen-humor mag. He used the art from Tower's TIPPY TEEN (1965-69) and only changed the main character's name...et voila...something to compete with Archie and the gang!

We briefly talk about the history of Archie and its clones and then proudly present THREE Vicki stories Power Records-style with real teens as voice talent, sound effects, and original music.
