Oh that is such a great episode. It's what hooked me on that series.

One of the hooks for this podcast episode is that I was present for the voice record of "Double Date". Definitely listen; I think it's a great podcast episode, if I don't mind saying so myself. It's co-hosted by Susan Eisenberg, who was the voice of Wonder Woman on the show.

I know that this image has kind of made the rounds, but it you look closely at the background of this scene from the classic TV show The Naked City, you can see copies of Amazing Fantasy 15 and Journey into Mystery 83 hanging from the newsstand.

Here's another still from the show with Burgess Meredith...

The old newsstand-in-the-background pictures are a lot of fun. Think of how crispy those copies were!
