For our final season, we're covering the short life of Martin Goodman's Atlas/Seaboard comics by reviewing all the debut issues from their line.  This episode, we cover Seaboard's swipe at Warren Publishing and Marvel's Curtis magazines...the horror anthology DEVILINA!

We make the Shadow Show every other week for our Patreon supporters, but we're giving this one out as a sample. If you enjoy, consider backing the show on Patreon for future episodes and access to the archives of previous eps. We discuss Marv Wolfman and Steve Gan's wonderfully bizarre SKULL THE SLAYER wherein a Vietnam War POW returns home and everything gets worse...then he and plane full of people go through the Bermuda Triangle! Matt got it in his head that the main character's name was Mike Scully and "corrected" Jacob at the top of the show, so they say the wrong name the whole episode. Woof.

Fed up with being feared and despised by the civilians they protect, the Commandos jump at a chance to see if the world of 2943 holds an opportunity for them to return to their human states. It gets a little weird. MAIL: [email protected]  STORE: https://bronzeagemonsters.threadless.com/ SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/BronzeAgeMonsters DISCORD: https://discord.gg/NcFaq9Ednq

We've got double your monster pleasure with WWT #117's "A Miracle for Monsters!" and 118's "Heroes Come in Small Sizes" as the Commandos are finally free of Lt. Shrieve and, without a commanding officer, take in the sights of war-time Paris. Then, we learn how they were awarded medals from the King of England!
