Episode description
How do you get fans excited about the shared universe that is populated by hundreds of characters from the familiar to the obscure? Well if you are comic book publisher in the 80s, you create the definitive guide to (almost) every single character in the catalog. And that is exactly what Marvel and DC (most famously) did with "Marvel Universe" and "Who's Who". At least twice! Discover these and more as Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston act as your guide to the universe guides of the past.
