My Comics History: Nov/Dec 1978

Welcome to my comics history, where I explore the comics I read and bought through the years. Despite the fact that I purchased no comics in November or December that year, I still recorded an episode! I do talk about some comics that came out during those months and then discuss an adaptation of one of my favorite sci-fi franchises: Marvel Comics Super Special #8: Battlestar Galactica.
