Welcome to episode a special episode of Green Lantern’s Light!

This time, hosts Michael Bradley, Jeffrey Taylor and J. David Weter sit down with legendary comic book writer and editor Len Wein for a chat about his time writing and editing Green Lantern. Wein discusses how he came on to the book, plot points from his run and the circumstances surrounding his departure. There’s also talk about Wein’s return with the recent DC RETROACTIVE Special, as well as some of Wein’s thoughts on the New 52 and “Before Watchmen.” Plus, Wein answers the question we’ve all been asking: “Why the Shark?”

It was a great discussion and the guys want to once again thank Mr. Wein for taking time out of his very busy schedule for the interview!

Be sure to come back on the 22nd for our next episode, where we resume our regular coverage with a look at GREEN LANTERN (Vol. 2) #193, 194 and 195!

The Thrilling Adventures of SupermanWelcome to episode 74 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

Michael pauses for another Fifth Week installment this episode and looks back at something he missed in earlier episodes of the show. That’s right, folks. He makes mistakes, too. In any event, Michael looks back at text stories contained in the third and fourth issues of SUPERMAN… and explores their connection to Superman, as well as that of their credited author, Hugh Langley.

QUOTABLE:
“George Rankin could have doffed his laboratory robe and walked out into the world a billionaire. Things other than money interested Rankin.”
