DC Secret Files Podcast Vol. IX: Silver Age Secret Files and Origins

The ninth 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, T. Ross Aitken of Stop! Let’s Team-Up!, Opal City Confidential: A Starman Podcast, & Gallifrey’s Most Wanted, 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 July 2000’s Golden Age Secret Files and Origins #1, by Dan Curtis Johnson, Mike Collins, & Vince Russell, as well as a host of other talents on the main and supplemental stories.
