Face front, Tomb-Believers!

Because one or two of you demanded it, a fortnightly exploration into the creepiest corners of the Marvel Universe!

Join your two unwilling hosts ,Trimblin TREY LAWSON and Jaundiced JAMES HICKSON as they are sealed in a comic-filled crypt and made to podcast about such titles as TOMB OF DRACULA, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT, MAN-THING, and so much more!

What do we call such a monumental achievement in fright-filled fandom and hi-fi human rights violations? Why the “TOMB OF IDEAS”, of course.

Ex-HELL-sior!
