On One-Shot Wonders with Adam Philips, I'll look at comics that came and went in the blink of an eye. Whether they star super-heroes we all know and love, like Spider-Man or Superman, or characters you've never even heard of -- Fruitman, anyone? -- I'll talk about them on One-Shot Wonders. We'll have guest-stars to talk about their favorite one-shots, including some who wrote or drew the titles we're talking about! New episodes on Tuesdays!
