Another excellent episode. I want to comment on two points. First, you mentioned that you want to "catch up" on episodes you missed, or were late with, due to the uneven nature of life. I hope I speak for all your listeners when I say that, although I'd love as many episodes as I can get, I don't want you to feel pressure about "keeping up". Stuff happens, and I don't mind if some episodes come out on the late side.
ReplyDeleteSecond, in your notes on the Super Horse story, you note that Endor is the name of the Forest Moon in the Star Wars movie "Return of the Jedi". Given that this comic far predates that movie, I think the name Endor is more likely a reference to the Witch of Endor in Chapter 28 of the First Book of Samuel in the Bible, especially since Zerox is a Sorcerer's Planet, inhabited by practitioners of magic. I should also note that, in the 30th Century tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Zerox is the home planet of one of the Legion's greatest foes, Mordru.
