    In this episode, we return to look into the 1970's phenomena of Power Records. These were audio stories with full casts, music and, in some cases, a comic book to read along with the story. Power Records held licensing for DC and Marvel Comics as well as TV shows The Six Million Dollar Man, Star Trek, Planet Of The Apes and Kojak (among others). In this installment we look at two of the 'creepier' stories from the world of Superheroes. One from DC and one from Marvel. We begin with BATMAN - The Scarecrow Corpse, and then MAN-THING - Night Of The Laughing Dead. We also have an update on the voice actors for Power Records, and have put some names to some characters! Special Thanks to Chris and Rob at the POWER RECORDS PODCAST (Found Here: http://fireandwaterpodcast.com/show/the-power-records-podcast/) as they have been relentless in their search as well. Also, as talked about in this episode, we are posting a link to a public radio podcast called "THIS AMERICAN LIFE": Episode #121 - Twentieth Century Man. This is the episode about Keith Aldrich featuring interviews with his 9 children. Keith wrote stories for Power Records, and was the early voice of 'Batman' in these stories; 'Stacked Cards', 'The Scarecrows Mirage', 'Catwoman's Revenge' and 'If Music Be The Food Of Death'.
