This month, listener and first-time (sort of) podcaster John Steib joins Paul to discuss the 1976 one-shot, Super-Heroes vs. Super Gorillas! Our heroes battle the Gorilla Boss of Gotham City, King Krypton, and of course, Gorilla Grodd!  Plus, we have the final installment of “Catch Ya Later, Calculator” with Shawn M. Myers! Grab some bananas off the tree and join in the fun!

Check out some images from this great comic – and also see below for some pictures from The Forbidden Planet in Glasgow!

Courtesy of Peter, here is the entrance to Forbidden Planet in Glasgow – a mural by Frank Quitely that greets you as you enter the store.

The artwork on the stairs also by Quitely:

And also on the stairs:

Peter tells us that when Frank saw the pillars at the back of the shop, he thought of turning them into an homage to Crime Alley where the Waynes were murdered! The ‘Monarch’ cinema is actually a storage cupboard where Peter keeps overstock of graphic novels and comic supplies!

And chances are, you recognize this outline! Thanks, Peter, for sharing these pics!!

On this episode of Peace Bound and Down: A Wonder Woman Podcast, Sean is joined by Al Sedano from Resurrections: An Adam Warlock and Thanos Podcast, to discuss issue 14 of volume two of Wonder Woman. It’s the coda to the Challenge of the Gods and maybe the most important issue of the first year (plus) of the book. In this issue, Hercules asks forgiveness, the Amazons party, the gods conjoin, and Steve and Etta visit an attic.
