In 1981, he published his first formal comics script with Nexus, the science fiction title he co-created with illustrator Steve Rude; the series garnered numerous honors, including Eisner Awards for both creators. A prolific creator, Baron is responsible for The Badger, Ginger Fox, Spyke, Feud, and many other comic book titles. He and artist Jackson Guice relaunched The Flash in June 1987.Baron and Klaus Janson introduced the character Microchip as an ally of the Punisher in The Punisher #4 (November 1987). In 1988, Baron wrote the "Deadman" feature in Action Comics Weekly which led to two subsequent Deadman limited series. Baron has also written numerous other mainstream characters including Batman and several Star Wars adaptations for Dark Horse Comics. In 2014, Baron published Biker, his first novel, about reformed motorcycle hoodlum Josh Pratt. First in the 'Bad Road Rising' series. In 2018, Liberty Island Press will release six Josh Pratt novels, and Disco, a story about a boy and his dog. He has created Q-Ball, a comic about martial arts and espionage, with Barry McClain Jr.
Let's not start off with a silly joke about how everything Mike touches turns to Gold. Oops, too late. But Mike Gold has had one of the more interesting careers in comics, starting with a stint as DC's first public relations manager in the early 80s. He's perhaps best known for launching First Comics later that decade, featuring a murderer's row of talent, including Frank Brunner, Mike Grell, Howard Chaykin, Joe Staton, Steven Grant, and John Ostrander (some of whom you can hear in previous interviews). And check out these seminal and influential books First churned out: American Flagg, GrimJack, Nexus, Badger, Dreadstar, and Jon Sable Freelance. As if that wasn't enough, Mike returned to DC and edited a whole bunch more amazing titles, like Legends, The Question, Action Comics Weekly, Hawkworld, and the Mike Grell masterpiece, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters.

The difficult "sophomore episode" of the Action Comics Daily Appendix opens with some Christorical information about what led to the shift to ACW over at Chris is on Infinite Earths, and some of the concerns and worries I had about that shift! From there, we talk all about the second chapters of our original six features! We witness a Green Lantern funeral, we nearly sacrifice Deadman, we blow up a bookstore and an airplane, and we almost see Janos Prohaska's li'l Blackhawk! It's been a blast revisiting these, I hope you're enjoying them as well!

Greetings Weekly Warriors! This time out, we discuss a book that, if you've been following along at the blog, is long overdue: Action Comics Weekly #601! We look at, and break down all six features... but only after discussing everything that led up to the Chris is on Infinite Earths blog's change in direction as of February, 2019. It's the story of missing diplomas, hungry ATM Machines, and crippling anxiety. A super-fun time as always... so, check it out! -- Original Discussions: Action Comics Weekly #601: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2019/02/action-comics-weekly-601-1988.html Action Comics Weekly Preview Edition: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2019/05/action-comics-weekly-preview-1988.html The #ActionComicsDaily Page, with every story discussed (so far): https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/p/action-comics-daily_3.html -- Episodes Referenced: Hal Jordan's Action Comics!

Shade and Sweet Water, Everybody! This time out Chris (@acecomics) shares his extended comic book "secret origin", which started with a peek at two particular pages of the ElfQuest Gatherum! This will be an especially "Christory-heavy" installment, with stories of my time with ElfQuest, my first visit to a comic book specialty store and subsequent first trip to the back-issue bins... also: the revelation that trade paperbacks were very expensive! Had a great time reliving "The memories that made a Fan out of Chris"!

Well, here's another nice mess we've gotten ourselves into! This time out, Chris (@acecomics) discusses a strange little offering from DC Comics in the early-70's... the one-and-only issue of (Larry Harmon's) LAUREL & HARDY. Before getting into the comic itself, I share with you my affection for the old comedy team, how I first "met" them, and my many (mostly failed) attempts to record as many of their shorts and films as possible during my youth. "The Boys" have always been important to me, and despite the issue being a bit "ehh", I'm so pleased to get the opportunity to chat about this topic. -- HOT TAKE: The (overly... almost suspiciously, positive) letters page of Action Comics Weekly #612 (1988), reflecting on more thoughts on the Weekly-Rebranding of the long-running title. -- Original Discussion Piece: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2018/07/laurel-and-hardy-1-1972.html The Artful Antics of Laurel & Hardy: http://www.lulu.com/shop/antony-mitchell-waite-and-joanne-mitchell-waite/the-artful-antics-of-laurel-hardy/paperback/product-20979020.html -- patreon.com/chrisandreggie weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.com @cosmictmill weirdsciencedccomics.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com
This week's episode is a little bit different from our usual superhero fare... actually, it's a whole lot different. Today we're going to meet a tiny dinosaur named Gon (created by Masashi Tanaka), and take a look at his first tankōbon volume, which contains three stories... and zero words! Ya see, Chris (@acecomics) picked this book to review before heading out on vacation, thinking its lack of words would make for a quick and easy synopsis. Let's just say, he learned a lesson in "cutting corners" that day. This episode also includes a brief discussion of the DC Comics imprint that published this (Paradox Press), the audio version of vacation slides... sure to thrill, and the second installment of our "Comics Hot Take" segment!

No, gentle listener, this isn't the return of the Young Animal Gatherum... This time out, I give a peek behind the curtain and tells the story about how a review he did on a site other than his own, managed to affect change on Chris is on Infinite Earths! What happened when Chris received his first bit of clapback? Well, lemme tell ya, It's a story of angry comments, curse words, appeals to motive, and over-reaction... with just a little bit of ranting about the current sensationalized comics reviewing "culture". It's somehow even less provocative than it sounds! PLUS: The introduction of a potential new segment... COMICS HOT TAKE, wherein I will attempt to analyze the initial reactions of comic fans when changes are made to the hobby we hold so dear. For this "pilot" installment, in tying in with my #ActionComicsDaily project, I will be taking a look at the Letter Page from Action Comics Weekly #605 (1988), which features the first bit of feedback DC Comics received on the weekly anthology format... from prolific letterhacks who received black and white preview photostats of the issue! -- Original Discussion: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2018/06/mother-panic-1-2017.html The Young Animal Gatherum: https://www.chrisandreggie.com/p/young-animal-gatherums.html -- weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com www.patreon.com/chrisandreggie https://chrisandreggie.com https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ @CosmicTMill @reggiereggie @acecomics

On this episode of ITG's ABCs (which is short for Anthology & Back-up Comics Stories), I'll be taking a look at the 6-part Phantom Lady serial from Action Comics Weekly #s 636-641! This series introduced a new legacy hero to the DCU, as recent college grad Dee Tyler attempts to fill the singular one-piece of Golden Age great, Sandra Knight! I think Dee showed some potential, and writer Len Strazewski packed this series with ideas that I think could have supported an ongoing series, had the public demanded it. Still, we're left with what I think is one of the more enjoyable Action Comics Weekly features, so please have a listen to my recap!Download this episode HERE!Scroll down to see images from these issues, and please be sure to check out previous episodes of I'm the Gun on iTunes & Google Play!Also, I'd love to hear from you!

"I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle" Aired February 22, 1968 We come to the last King Tut episode of the Batman 66 series and out of all the characters in the series, John has always struggled with his view of the Mad Monarch. There is much to praise in this stand alone story, but there is also much to note as simply bad. Tut manages to confirm that Bruce and Batman are one in the same and it's a battle royale in the Batcave to stop him from revealing it to the world. Joining John to discuss the good and the bad of this episode, to lament the last appearance of the Batman fight theme, and to discuss the possibilities of a fourth season are writers/editors Robert Greenberger and Jim Beard of Gotham City 14 Miles. Comment on the episode here or write thebatcavepodcast@gmail.com. Robert Greenberger (born July 24, 1958) is a writer and editor. Greenberger was born in Brooklyn in New York City, the son of Edwin L. Greenberger and Joan Greenberger. A lifelong fan of comic books, comic strips, science fiction and Star Trek, he drifted towards writing and editing, encouraged by his father and inspired by Superman's alter ego, Clark Kent. While at SUNY-Binghamton, Greenberger wrote and edited for the college newspaper, Pipe Dream, moving from general assignment writer to Arts Editor, Managing Editor and ultimately Editor-in-Chief. He served an internship at Gannett's Binghamton Sun-Bulletin as a feature writer and reviewer. Upon graduation, he worked for Starlog Press as Managing Editor of Fangoria. He was also an Associate Editor for Starlog and while there, created Comics Scene, the first nationally distributed magazine to focus on comic books, comic strips and animation. The magazine lasted 11 issues before its first cancellation at which time Greenberger went to work on their sports magazines. In 1984, he joined DC Comics as an Assistant Editor, working with Len Wein and Marv Wolfman on DC's Golden Anniversary projects Who's Who and Crisis on Infinite Earths. He went on to act as assistant editor to numerous titles for each editor until he was promoted to editor. During his tenure, his titles included Star Trek, Suicide Squad, Warlord, Doom Patrol, Lois Lane, Action Comics Weekly, Time Masters, Secret Origins, The Hacker Files and others. By 1990, he had given up editing to become the company's Editorial Coordinator, helping grow the Editorial Administration department. When he left the company, he was Manager-Editorial Operations. In March 2000, he left DC to become a Producer for Gist Communications, television news and listings web site. After ten months there, he learned some new skills and got out before the dotcom bubble burst. In January 2001, he joined Marvel Comics as Director-Publishing Operations. During his year with the company, he oversaw editorial schedules, Production, Manufacturing, the Print Library, and other departments. In January 2002, he left Marvel and rejoined DC in May 2002 as a Senior Editor-Collected Editions. He helped grow that department, introducing new formats and improving the editions' editorial content. He also managed DC's ElfQuest publishing program. He left DC in January 2006, becoming a freelance writer and editor. His clients included Weekly World News, Platinum Studios, scifi.com, DC and Marvel. By June, he was offered the post of Managing Editor at Weekly World News where he helped transition the newspaper from being produced jointly in Florida and New York to just NYC. When the paper folded in August 2007, he resumed his freelance career which continues to this date. Along the way, he helped revitalize Famous Monsters of Filmland and served as News Editor at ComicMix from August through December 2008. He is a member of the Science Fiction Writers of America and the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. He served on the final Nebula Short Fiction Jury. A native of Toledo, Ohio, Jim Beard was introduced to comic books at an early age by his father, who passed on to him a love for the medium and the pulp characters who preceded it. After decades of reading, collecting and dissecting comics, Jim became a published writer when he sold a story to DC Comics in 2002. Since that time he's written official Star Wars and Ghostbusters comic stories and contributed articles and essays to several volumes of comic book history. His prose work includes GOTHAM CITY 14 MILES, a book of essays on the 1966 Batman TV series; SGT. JANUS, SPIRIT-BREAKER, a collection of pulp ghost stories featuring an Edwardian occult detective; MONSTER EARTH, a giant monster anthology; and CAPTAIN ACTION: RIDDLE OF THE GLOWING MEN, the first pulp prose novel based on the classic 1960s action figure. Currently, Jim provides regular content for Marvel.com, the official Marvel Comics website, and is a regular columnist for Toledo Free Press.
