E&E #040 - Comic Book Genres: Crime

In this 40th episode, Alan continues a (fingers crossed) monthly series of episodes featuring the comic book genre assigned to that month. Which makes this episode a discussion of ... crime comics! And also crime-themed TV shows, novels, & movies.

What are Dr. Anj's favorite crime movies? Which 70s cop shows did Professor Alan watch as a kid? And what two excellent comics do they bring to the show?
