Golden Age of Comic Books – August 29, 2009 – #62

The Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast is back with episode #62 featuring The Green Lama!

Original Green Lama from Prize Comics #24

This character got his start in pulp magazines in the early 1940’s and made his first comic book appearance in the pages of Prize Comics #7 (September 1940).  He appeared in this title for 24 issues and eventually got his own book, and a new look, in Green Lama Comics #1 (March 1944).  This title ran for eight issues, until 1946.
