Not a hoax, not a dream...in this episode, a character dies! And...gets better. I've heard some people say that Batman wasn't really Batman until there was a Robin. That's how I feel about Alfred Pennyworth. The mythos isn't complete without him. Join us as we talk about his first appearance, death, and return to life in the Silver Age.  Music: Big Boi Pants by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com - used with Creative Commons license Sound clips from All-Star Superman (2011), Justice League Unlimited (2004 - 2006), Batman Beyond (1999 - 2001), X-Men: The Animated Series (1992 - 1997), The Dark Knight (2008), Spider-man (2002), Superman (1978), The Transformers: The Movie (1986), Justice League (2001 - 2004), and Doom Patrol (2019 - ).
