Two geeks talk about what it was like to be there at the infancy of geek culture. We were geeks before it was chic! https://feed.podbean.com/ancientgeeks/feed.xml. Look for us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast services.

Teen Titans no. 23 (Oct 1969) cover by Nick Cardy. Wonder Girl shows off her new costume! The Titans now are almost entirely a red and yellow clad team (except for a little green in Robin’s outfit).
