My look at the other side of DC Comics gets going this episode as I dive in head-first and go for the one comic book genre that’s more or less dead and is probably not going to be resurrected anytime soon: romance! To guide me through this journey through the turmoil that love can cause, I have brought along a special guest, Stella (From Batgirl to Oracle)! So join us as we take a look at Secret Hearts #153.

And here are a few scans from the comic:
Page one of the issue. Is that Barbara Gordon in the background?
Because when a “chick” treats you “like that,” you have no choice but to marry her.
The weird leg-shaping ad from the back of the comic.
The 23rd gets ambushed in the main plot and subplots come to a head in “Colorblind,” which is the title of The ‘Nam #37, a comic brought to you by Doug Murray, Wayne Vansant, and Geof Isherwood. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue I’ll be taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.
It’s the end of the year and that means it’s the end of my year-long series, “1994: The Most Important Year of the Nineties!” I close things out with another grab bag that features music, movies, television, politics, and the Internet and then give a final, closing statement about why 1994 is the most important year of what’s proven to be an incredibly important decade.
After a bit of a detour back in the world, we’re in the ‘Nam again and so is Daniels, the communications officer who was more cut-up than cut out for combat. But he’s there reluctantly and has definitely changed. It’s “Back in the Saddle Again” in The ‘Nam #33 by Doug Murray, Wayne Vansant, and Geof Isherwood. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue I’ll be taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.
Issue #31 brings closure to the subplot involving the 23rd’s resident comic geek, Aeder. “Fire and Ice” is brought to you by Doug Murray, Wayne Vansant, and Geof Isherwood. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue Ill be taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.
We take a look at “Bunker Line” and July 1968 in issue #30 of The ‘Nam, a story that introduces Lt. Biggs and shows Ice and Pig’s return to action. It’s brought to us by Murray, Vansant and Isherwood. As always, in addition to the summary and review of the issue Ill be taking a look at the letters, ‘Nam Notes, and ads.
