Legends of the Superheroes was a debacle, but it's since acquired a pretty devoted cult following. The second episode followed a "celebrity roast" format - hosted by Ed McMahon! - and featured the following sequence in which Brad Sanders (as "Ghetto Man") does a stand-up routine that maybe slightly less embarrassing than his part as Batty Boy in Hollywood Shuffle.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
