January 19, 1993: The Death of Superman Almost Kills American Comics

58 min•19 januari 2025

Up, up, and oh no! This week, V and Emily take a request from listener @nerteragranadensis a little bit sideways and look at the ways that the "Death of Superman" arc -- geez, '90s DC had problems -- almost ended the American comics industry as it blew up the boom-and-bust comics speculation culture that arose after 1989's Batman movie. We look at how money is dumb, how capitalism is stupid, and also, why we're super salty about Beanie Babies. The Man of Steel deserved better. Did you ever buy something just for its potential collectors' value? Let us know on our Tumblr!
