Indie Comic Book Noise Episode 488 – The Gentle Embrace of Bloomin’ Fall

Phil, Kevin and Andy purportedly travel to some different realms as they are back for more autumnal noise.

Andy keeps calling the comic book, Deathrace 2020, by its film name, Deathrace 2000. He is too lazy to correct in editing.

Buying the complete run versus hunting them down

Publisher overview: Roger Corman’s Cosmic Comics originally referred to as Cosmic Comics where he converted properties from his B movies into comic books. Only had 5 titles

Death Race 2020 #1-8 by Pat Mills, Tony Skinner, Kevin O’Neill, Trevor Goring, Dan Schaefer, various cover artists (Roger Corman’s Cosmic Comics). Complete run but ends on cliffhanger.

You can watch the original film and remake on Tubi.

An Interstitial between the seasons where we ask if Andy knows how to read comics (and if he knows what episode this is but Phil and Kevin are sure not bring that up. That summer breeze leaving must really be hitting him hard) but he sure can complain about them.

Using GI JOE ARAH (IDW) Andy gripes about a first appearance in a recent issue (#281) that has created a bit of a price bump in that one issue that he missed so we discuss hot recent first appearance issues.

Released in 1972, it reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US.
