Tales From My Spinner Rack! Episode 11 is now available for your viewing pleasure! This all-new video, subtitled “DC Comics in the Swingin’ 60s: The Go-Go Checks Gambit!” explores the world of DC in the mid-1960s, focusing on the year and a half when Go-Go Checks appeared on the top of each and every DC comic book!
DC Comics VP Irwin Donenfeld created the Go-Go Checks to make the publisher’s books stand out on the crowded newsstands. They first appeared right around the time the Batman TV show premiered on ABC in 1966, and while Go-Go Checks were supposed to help sales, the Caped Crusader was the strongest element on any book in which he appeared; Batman drove a huge sales increase for DC in the mid-‘60s. This video, which had its world premiere at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 on Thursday, July 25th, explores some of the books from the Go-Go Checks era, including my own personal favorite stories and new characters and concepts.
