Happy 50th Birthday Deathlok! Back Issue Comics Review Show #748
Who the hell is DEATHLOK?!
In this episode: It’s another Back Issue Comics Review Show, and this time the Cosmic Longbox is saying “Happy 50th Birthday, Deathlok!” We take a look at Deathlok’s many incarnations over the years, and are pleasantly surprised for the most part! Each back issue comics review ends with a rating from THN’s “Buy It,” “Skim It,” or “Leave It” system, which, quite frankly, does not compute. PLUS, we’re joined by the Official THN Historian Jason Sacks, host of the Classic Comics Cavalcade podcast, and author of a number of chronicles about the history of American comics, to celebrate a birthday of his own. It’s the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY, featuring a return to the character who started it all. Until then, pull up your two-toed boots…because it’s BACK ISSUE COMICS REVIEW TIME IN THE ZIGGURAT!
