Hey Michael,
As someone who now knows how difficult it can be to write a synopsis for a podcast, I never envy you when you cover a Bob Haney story. You get two trade paperbacks worth of story in 32 pages, and some of it is just straight from Crazy Town. But the fun side of Crazy Town, mind you.
Sorry to see the frequency of the show slow down a bit, but I understand completely where you are coming from. Looking forward to your guest spots and future endeavors.
You mentioned Batman Family not quite succeeding like Superman Family. Well, it kind of did. You probably know this, but Batman Family originally alternated between new material and all reprint issues at first, and then went all-new at one point. It then got upgraded into one of DC’s Dollar Comics. Then the DC Implosion hit. Needing to slash titles, DC actually considered keeping the successful Batman Family and axing Detective Comics, until someone with a cooler head suggested basically merging the two titles, essentially turning Batman Family, with it’s Dollar Format, into Detective. It carried on in this format for about two more years before converting back to a regular-sized comic.

Do we know if Da-Ghiri the snow devil appeared at any point? I get the feeling DC could do an ongoing series on story threads that Bob Haney started!
