So they are nimrods because they love the comic and gush over it the whole time and the guy who is mainly talking is a world war 2 collector and telling history and context and everything? ok

Blind Boy Fuller "Meat Shakin' Woman" (1938) - Tip Top Comics #23 (March 1938)

The Groupies "Primitive" (1966) - It's About Time #1 (1966)

Yep it looks like it's the Bring em Back Alive Classics Illustrated...

Most likely a Frank Buck comic. The Twilight Zone seems a bit late to have the early 50s Fox Frank buck comics around. There was a Frank Buck Bring em back Alive Classics Illustrated issues. Might be that.

Not golden age, but it's a newsstand. That's Mad #121, so it's 1968.

The Rolling Stones "B-itch" (1971) - Mean B-itch Thrills (1971)

The Coasters "Charlie Brown" (1958) - Peanuts Four Color #878 (1958)

The Purple Sun "Doomsday" (1970) - Fantastic Four #98 (May 1970)

Same reason radioactivity was the explanation for everything post ww2 I guess? Everyone knew of it, knew it could mutate DNA and stuff and it was an easy explanation that was more real, seemed to be based on science than like gods and people from other planets and stuff. All movie monsters in the 50s were giant and mutated because of radioactivity of some kind, it was an easy way to explain away fantastic things and super power I guess. Mostly a product of the times it seems to me. Was there any radioactive superheros created post 1960s and the height of the cold war? Probably not.
