Out of Context is a weekly show about our collective history told through the lens of comic book media. From fashion and slang to politics and music, there's so much to uncover hidden within the pages of randomly selected comic books. Join host Eric Mowery as he attempts to educate the masses and prove to his parents--once and for all--that he was NOT wasting his time reading "funny books." Each new subscriber goes towards one "credit" that Eric can use to upgrade his set: a new desk, lamp, phone, coffee maker, clocks, outfits...it's ALL on the table. Literally.
