Episode Summary
On this episode of The Corner Box, hosts John Barber and David Hedgecock attempt to solve comics by talking about how comics transformed throughout the 80s, when the codification of comics started, the launch of Eclipse Monthly, Coyote’s comically bad ending, the changing perception of nostalgia, and some major highlights from the magazine, and David and John find recordings made just for them.
