Join me for a special interview with Rob Kelly, the editor of the amazing new book, Hey Kids, Comics!: True Life Tales from the Spinner Rack. Rob and I spend an hour discussing the origins of the book, the love of comic books, and why this book is incredibly special (an apologies in advance for audio issues on my side of the interview. But Rob comes in loud and clear).

But more importantly, YOU NEED TO BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Only happy when it rains? You’re the exception to the rule, especially in “The ‘Nam” as Ed Marks and the boys deal with the constant downpours of monsoon season in a story that can only be called “Monsoon.” It’s issue #6 of “The ‘Nam.” As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue I’ll be talking about the story’s historical context as well as taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.

Pictures are located after the jump, but I did want to share some links to things mentioned on the podcast …
The Baltimore Comic-Con: I obviously want to provide a link to the official page of the con and offer my thanks once again to the organizers for giving me a press pass.
Hey Kids, Comics!: Rob Kelly recently wrote a book and I had the privilege of speaking to him about it at the con. Look for an extended interview with him on the next episode!
Healed: A comic from Homeless Comics that I didn’t buy at the con but checked out online and it, or at least issue #1 is really good.
The boys go into the brush for Episode 5 of “In Country,” which takes a look at issue #5 of “The ‘Nam.” Written by Doug Murray, penciled by Michael Golden, and inked by John Beatty, it’s “Humpin’ the Boonies,” a story that features events from June of 1966. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue I’ll be talking about the story’s historical context as well as taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.
