WordPress ✪ Spotify ✪ YouTube ✪ 🍏podcasts✪

The twelfth episode of our DC SECRET FILES podcast — the show that dares to tackle DC Comics’ greatest creations in encyclopedic form! Each episode, Frank will be joined by a special guest, in this case, veteran blogger & podcrasher Martin Gray, of Too Dangerous For A Girl, to cover characters and concepts from across DC’s history. Our discussion of the given property will be married to a piece of original art commissioned by DC to spotlight the same. This time around, we chat about 2004’s DC Comics Presents: Hawkman #1, by Cary Bates & John Byrne and Kurt Busiek & Walter Simonson; and DC Comics Presents: The Atom #1, by Dave Gibbons & Pat Olliffe and Mark Waid & Dan Jurgens, as well as a host of other talents. Plus we cover YOUR feedback!

The DC Bloodlines Podcast: You May Call Me Doctor Mist!

Look for us on iTunes, ShoutEngine or the Internet Archive, where you can also directly download an art-tagged MP3.

The ancient immortal African mystic Doctor Mist was introduced in a cameo on the last page of 1978's The Super Friends #12 before continuing into appearances in The Super Friends #13 & 45-46 before officially forming the Global Guardians in DC Comics Presents #46. We cover these comics to varying degrees, but our primary focus is the supposed true story of "Nommo," appended to tales starring Zatara and Zatanna. Is Dr. Mist one of the most powerful and important figures in the history of the DC Universe, or a sad and lonely fraud? You decide, and you can follow along with our reading of 1988's Secret Origins #27 at The Secret Origins Podcast.
