Captain America #258 | The Beauty of Non-Key Comics
The power of comic books in the bronze age was not just in the epic stories - the key comics all the collectors demand - but also in the smaller, self-contained stories where the focus is more on the hero than the villain.
In this video I look at one such comic, Captain America #258 by Claremont and Zeck.

Snakes on a Sub?! | Fer-de-Lance (1974)
Fer-de-Lance was a 1974 TV movie that deals with (so help me) SNAKES ON A SUB!
While the premise may seem goofy, it launches a solid disaster story, with the crew using their wits and courage to deal with poisonous snakes on the loose, a crewman out of his mind, and a submarine trapped on an undersea ridge.
(Oh, and I apologize for the slight echo on this video - getting used to a new setup)

Another long video, but I think it's worth it (well, of course I would think it's worth it ...) as I examine the four colossal crossover collaborations between D.C. Comics and Marvel Comics between 1976 and 1982.
Watch as I do my best to hit the highlights (can there be any lowlights where Smilin' Stan Lee and Jolly Julius Schwartz are involved) of these books, all while jiggling my camera and wishing I had a better camera setup!
