Jim and Jay are joined by fellow podcaster Alan Williams of the Legion of Substitute Podcasters and Watch this! SPACE! podcasts to talk about that mysterious villain Pulsar Stargrave! Who is this strange character who had multiple origins within four issues with multiple writers and artists in that timespan? Why did they axe the character in the most bizarre way possible? Just what is going on here, anyway? We cover Superboy and the Legion issues 223,224,226,227 and 273 (Yes, we even touch on Reflecto again...).
