CCL Podcast #140 - Secrets of the Batcave
Collected Comics Library Podcast #140
26,557Kb; 28m 03s
If you’re a regular listener to the Collected Comics Library, than you know it’s no secret that I am a big fan of Batman. Always have been. Always will be. Of all the comics and collected editions I own, Batman is what I own the most of. Reflecting back as to why, I’m really not that sure. As a character, he is much more liberal than I am, I think he’s a jerk to his “Bat Family” and he is much more introverted than anyone I know, fictional or otherwise. That being said, I’m proud to add one of Batman’s latest collected editions to my bookshelf, Batman: Secrets of the Batcave. This book showcases the cave in all of its various comic book forms from the 1940’s up through today. There is also more to this book than meets the eye. Come listen and find out the 33-year-old true inspiration for this trade and find out just where and how Batman obtained all his trophies and memorabilia.
I also go in a bit about my venture into the Around Comics podcast, John Mayo and my time in Chicago this past weekend.

PS One correction. The Mummy story takes place in Detective Comics #158, not Batman #12.
I had my notes mixed up. Sorry about that. I’ll make a quick retraction next week.
Batman #12 is about the bullet proof vest.

CCL #121 Matt Wagner Part II Batman and the Mad Monk
Collected Comics Library Podcast #121
26,788Kb; 28m 18s
I’ll be at the Motor-City Con this Sunday, wish I could make it all weekend, but I have other obligations that involve baseball and beer.
On the show this week, I briefly talk about the contents of both Brad Meltzer’s JLA HC and Marvel Masterworks Thor Volume 6 and the value of the 1st Printing of the Marvel Zombies HC.
I’m giving away my personal copy of The Death of Superman TPB. You must listen to find out how to enter. Don’t worry it’s very easy.
For the feature, I review Matt Wagner’s Batman and the Mad Monk. A sequel to his Batman and the Monster Men from 2006. You may remember that I reviewed that Trade last September for Podcast #85. I’m glad to report that I’m much more happier the second time around.
Lastly, I always rundown the New Releases of the Week.
