#137: March 1970 (w/Noah Campbell) - "The Torch Goes Wild!"
Noah Campbell somehow made it past multiple redundant security measures to join us to discuss the Marvel Comics of March 1970. Topics include: Daredevil's boundary issues, the first appearance of the Falcon as Captain America, Marvel's heroes getting undressed in the middle of adventures, and Johnny Storm at his Johnny Stormiest.

Show Notes
Despite what he said in the episode, Noah Campbell isn't just the guest we call in when absolutely everyone else has refused to do the show. He's also the guest we call in specifically when Marvel's heroes are acting like real creeps, and boy was there a lot of that this month.
