Will Rodgers is a super fan of the “Super Friends” cartoon series that ran from 1973 to 1985.
“I know the Super Friends up, down, sideways and inside out,” he says. “I love the Super Friends. Maybe too much.”
Sitting inside the offices of WEPG-AM 910 in South Pittsburg, Tenn., where he is an on-air personality, Rodgers thumbs through the two-volume set of books he has written about the show. These aren’t tiny pocketbook guides either. Each book has more than 400 pages of plot summaries, character descriptions for the good guys and the bad ones, voice actor IDs, a guide to the Super Friends comic books and even a chapter on the toys that came out based on the shows.
Vol. 2 also has a rundown of content for each DVD, representing the shows made in the ’80s.
