Thunder…thunder…THUNDERBOLT!

Three very different characters from DC Comics are the topic of this week’s show: the superhero Johnny Thunder (“The Kidnapping of Johnny Thunder”, Flash Comics #1, by John B. Wentworth and Stan Aschmeier), Western hero Johnny Thunder (“Introducing Johnny Thunder”, All-American Comics #100, by Robert Kanigher and Alex Toth), and hard-boiled detective Jonni Thunder (Jonni Thunder #1, by Roy and Dann Thomas and Dick Giordano).

Mike-EL and Joshua Murr-VELL take another look back at DC Comics’ superheroic past.
