How do you get fans excited about the shared universe that is populated by hundreds of characters from the familiar to the obscure? Well if you are comic book publisher in the 80s, you create the definitive guide to (almost) every single character in the catalog. And that is exactly what Marvel and DC (most famously) did with "Marvel Universe" and "Who's Who". At least twice! Discover these and more as Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston act as your guide to the universe guides of the past.

Hey Kids, Comics #87 - Space Race

Welcome to a great new issue of Hey Kids, Comics! and a kind of companion piece to last weeks show.
Hot on the heels of discussing time travel in comics, Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston turn their attentions to space travel. It seemed only natural to do so, and in this case the impact of space travel (to and from good ol' Earth) has been a surfeit of alien species that have cropped up over the decades.
Join us as we talk about the best and the worst alien races that have zeroed in on our homeworld or that our favorite heroes have encountered on their travels. And expect a follow up to this in the near future as there were just too many to talk about in one hour!
