    Halloween season hits Bros, Foes & Heroes as Zach and Mike dive into some of the wildest horror comics ever printed and somehow manage to record the whole thing shoulder-to-shoulder in Mike’s office. This episode covers three gloriously strange horror anthology stories: A 1954 couple who get tired of waiting for dinner… and start eating themselves (Weird Mysteries Issue 9) A world of microscopic people facing an 8:30 p.m. “appointment” with x-rays (Witches Tales Issue 25) And a 1970 vampire Santa Claus story that ends with the real Santa showing up for revenge (Web of Horror Issue 3) Plus, there’s plenty of off-the-rails banter about sandwiches, movie posters, and the true meaning of “Spooky Ass Comics.” A perfect mix of old-school horror, bad morals, and Halloween chaos. #halloween #comics #spookyseason #comicbooks #brosfoesheroes Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Witch of Metropolis
    Oct 15 2025
    This week, World’s Finest Wednesday gets spooky as Zach and Mike cover the first-ever issue of Superman’s Girlfriend, Lois Lane and the completely unhinged story “The Witch of Metropolis.” When Lois breaks a mirror in front of a portrait of “Mad Molly,” she’s cursed to turn into a witch every night for seven years. Cue flying brooms, hexed bullets, jealous scoops, and Superman secretly making all her spells come true just to protect her feelings. It’s a Golden Age fever dream featuring old-age serum fumes, magic incantations, and maybe the most convoluted explanation Superman’s ever given. Plus, the guys dive into vintage DC ads, including mail-order axes, patriotic mottoes, and the inexplicable Rex the Wonder Dog. Spooky Season continues on Bros, Foes, and Heroes! #superman #loislane #dccomics #dc #goldenagecomics #comicbookpodcast #brosfoesheroes #spookyseason #WorldsFinestWednesday Learn more about your ad choices.

    Hellcow: The Vampire Cow of Marvel Comics
    Oct 13 2025
    Spooky Season begins! This week, Zach and Mike dive into one of Marvel’s strangest horror stories, "Hellcow!" from Giant-Size Man-Thing Issue 5 (1975, Marvel Comics). Written by Steve Gerber with art by Frank Brunner, this bizarre tale follows Howard as he faces off against a 300-year-old vampire cow named Bessie… a creature created when Dracula got thirsty and no humans would let him in. Along the way, we talk swamp monsters, wet superheroes, Steve Gerber’s battle with Marvel, and how Hellcow somehow survived to later team up with Deadpool. It’s absurd, educational, and the perfect way to kick off October on Bros, Foes, and Heroes. Come for the vampire cow. Stay for the comic chaos. #howardtheduck #Hellcow #marvelcomics #marvel #comicbookpodcast #brosfoesheroes #spookyseason #deadpool Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
