Bronze-Age Monsters
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!
