Classic Comics with Matthew B. Lloyd: Double Shot #1“Blue Fatal” – Madame Fatal and the Golden Age Blue Beetle

This episode is the first Double Shot where we take a look at two Golden Age characters that may not have enough material to warrant a single episode. Today, we explore Quality Comics’ Madam Fatal and Fox Features’ Blue Beetle. And you thought he was a DC or Charlton Comics character….
