Classic Comics- Episode 52- Silver Age Spotlight #7: The Silver Age Blue Beetle- Dan Garrett and Ted Kord

The Blue Beetle was re-imagined in the 60’s as not one, but

two new characters- Dan Garrett and Ted Kord. It was a

really quick passing of the torch. What’s the story? How

are they connected? What’s their connection to Watchmen?
