Episode description

Years before being adapted into the hit 1997 film of the same name, THE MEN IN BLACK was originally an independent 6-issue comic series written by Lowell Cunningham and illustrated by Sandy Carruthers, published by Aircel Comics in 1990-91!

Also discussed in this episode:

- Mike loves issue #1 of "Superman: The Last Days Of Lex Luthor" by Mark Waid and Bryan Hitch!

- Justin loves the hard-to-find "Bad Idea Comics" line!

- other film adaptations of fairly-obscure comics!

- the mysterious rivalry between screenwriters Scott Frank and Ed Solomon! (Somebody, please put the MIB on this case.)
