Secrets of the North Dawson Creek Comic Book Killers

In our debut episode, hosts Emily Gallen and Spencer Hall take you back in time to the 1940s when everything seems peaceful in the Peace Region. That is until a couple of delinquents decide to become bandits just like in their favourite comic books. Learn about how this incident evolved into a country-wide ban on comic books. Plus, take a trip to Crime Corner to find out how Jesus got pulled over for excessive speeding.
