Auntie Beeb (related to Auntie Monitor) produced a radio drama that lasted the equivalent of the first world war it covered. Ironically, had such a broadcast been availabe during that war, the sheer tedium of it would have brought an unconditional surrender within a couple of months if transmitted over enemy lines.

Then you might like BBC's Homefront. I always got exercise when it was on. That race to the radio when they announced the Omnibus edition was next up. I recall Roy Thomas noting in passing that All Star was still in the early part of the war after 50odd issues.

So, less than a year for the whole series. This seems like an appropriate place to plug the super-cool old time radio podcast Adam Graham presents The War.

That's the understatement of the past quarter-century. To think that Infinite Crisis was originally supposed to be the darkest hour before a new dawn. Or so some disgruntled creators have claimed. Whatever the true intent, there's no escaping that the thing that actually saw print was utter crap. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Tsk. GA Supes even thinking to say that is the start of the slope that ends up with Morrison doing another dark, tired, knock off version of Kid Miracleman.
