SS #021 - Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

One year ago today, our very first Shortbox Showcase episode debuted. Yes, the other shows in the network had gone live the week before, but since this has become our flagship show, we consider 7/30/13 as our official network starting date.

After covering some feedback, and talking about how awesome our listeners are and all that, we decided to celebrate our first year with a terrific Annual issue. And since both Professor Alan and Emily LURV the Legion, this seemed like a fitting issue to cover on this momentous episode! Wedding bells, time travel, and fashion advice abounds!

Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #2, 1983. "Whatever Gods There Be," by Paul Levitz, Keith Giffen, and Dave Gibbons.
