POPULARITY
Split a pastrami sandwich with Martha Thomases as we discuss her theory that your popularity in high school determines whether you'll move to New York, why she was into DC rather than Marvel at the start of her comics fandom, Denny O'Neil's explanation of the true difference between Metropolis and Gotham City, the realization she had at 35 as to the true reason her parents allowed her to read comics, the weirdness of Little Lotta and Baby Huey, why she was more nervous meeting Denny O'Neil than she was meeting Norman Mailer, how Dakota North was born, our mutual love for the She-Hulk TV series, selling comics to comics fans vs. selling them to potential readers who don't yet know they'd like comics, and much more.
ré·su·mé [rez-oo-mey, rez-oo-mey] noun1. a summing up; summary. 2. a brief written account of personal, educational, and professional qualifications and experience, as that prepared by an applicant for a job. In Comic Reader Résumé, I use Mike's Amazing World of Comics to travel back through time via his virtual newsstand to the genesis point of my lifelong collecting of comics. From there, I can offer a “work history” of my fandom through my active purchasing of (relatively) new comic books beginning in January of 1982, when my interest in the medium went from sporadic and unformed to routine on through compulsive accumulation. To streamline the narrative and keep the subjects at least remotely contemporaneous, I will not generally be discussing what we call back issues: books bought long after their publication date. Sometimes, I will cover a book published on a given month that I picked up within a year or so that date, and I give myself an especially wide berth on this aspect in the first couple of “origins” episodes. We'll get more rigidly on point as my memories crystallize and my “hobby” spirals out of control into the defining characteristic of my life (eventually outpacing squalor and competing neuroses.) It's part personal biography, part industry history, and admittedly totally self-indulgent on my part. This episode includes Elvira's House of Mystery #6, Fantastic Four #293, G.I. Joe a Real American Hero #50, Marvel Age #41, Marvel Saga: the Official History of the Marvel Universe #9, Masters of the Universe #3, Son of Ambush Bug #2-3, Spectacular Spider-Man #117, The Mighty Thor #370, Uncanny X-Men #208, Web of Spider-Man #18, West Coast Avengers #12, X-Factor #7, and more!“Transcripts” Early May, 1986 Late April, 1986 Twitter #CRRésumé? rolledspinepodcasts@gmail.com Comment on Résumé page or Rolled Spine Podcasts.

There comes a time in every podcast, where you need to talk about inconsequential cameo appearances made by the members of the team of heroes that you are podcasting about. Trust me, there is a law about that somewhere. I am sure I have read it. The point is, Power Pack has been mentioned or has done some drive-byes in a few issues that we wanted to mention. This is also a nice break before a change to what we have been doing. Luke Cage is crazy because the demon Boogey Man has taken over his brain. Yeah, we have all been there. Interesting career move for a Power Pack villain. A strange issue with a cameo by Dakota North? We are on Madripoor Island for some sexy swimsuit times. And because Alex headed over with the New Warriors....here we are. Can we appreciate how Alex has not been skipping bicep days? I really do not know what else to say here. Remember that time when Power Pack wiped the floor with Mysterio? Well the pack does. And during one of Mysterios fights with Daredevil, he replays his entire life, all of the moments that made an impact on him....and then he disses the Pack. Seriously!!! HYDRA is attacking and all the heroes are responding, including Power Pack. That is just about it. Thanks for coming folks! And now we have a comic about C class super-villains who are bad at doing what they do, finding better uses for their "talents", and becoming better. And yet...AND YET....the losers still need to belittle the Pack. Man....give our kids some love. OK, it is time for the kids to get some respect. The kids need to be part of the universe. They need to be part of some great teams. Unfortunately, this is the Great Lakes Avengers. Still, we will take it. And that is what we have folks. Stay tuned for a new direction next episode.

Bursting forth from a critical period in comics history, Martha Thomases & Tony Salmons created the only female-lead Marvel Comic of it's day: Dakota North! Perhaps best remembered for a unique ad campaign, this series proves to be a hidden gem amongst the superhero hodgepodge of 1980s Marvel. www.ComicBookSyndicate.com
Big Power welcome to our friend, Nicholas Prom from the Comic Reflections podcast and the Captain Freak-Out's Psychedelic Radio. He has also terrorized Rick with old school Legion of Super-hero stories. Nicholas's knowledge of comic creators and comic history is deep and profound...about as much as his love for Dakota North. During this show, we drank a beer called Private Eyes.....I think there may be something about the eyes in this book..... We have eyes that are concentrating, and we have eyes that are private. We have angry little girl eyes.....and this time it is not all Jack's fault. We have gun-fury filled dark eyes that guide the bullets to their ridiculous location We have eyes that are ridiculed, upset, and embarrassed. We have eyes that are scared Goo-Less....and possibly chlorine filled. And finally, we have eyes that are in love.....aaahhhhh. I hope you enjoyed our ocular journey through this issue. If not, we leave you with a happy rainbow. Don’t forget to support us on Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/JeffandRickPresent.

Bobby introduces a new segment to the show this week, which we will tentatively and possibly permanently title the Lightning Round. These are the books that we talk about a LOT but don’t want to just brush off to the side just because we talk about them so much. Make sense? Each of your hosts have 3-minutes to quickly talk about all the other books that don’t fall under their be all and end all Books of the Week for this week. For the first beta test of this segment, some of the books discussed are: All-New X-Factor, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, D4VE, Hulk, Cleopatra in Space, Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell, Solar: Man of the Atom All-New Ghost Rider, Sinestro and Batman. And then for our regular Book of the Week segment, the gang bring up some fancy comics like: Dakota North, Adventures of Superman #50, Captain Action Cat, The Adventures of Business Cat, Transformers: Windblade, Superior Spider-Man, Joyners in 3D, Nowhere Men, Batman Eternal and more. For the main part of the show, there’s no specific topic but we have another week of listener questions. Ha cha cha! We’ve been taking the majority of the questions directly from the forum (if you’re not signed up there, you should be!) but we went to Twitter and Facebook and answer as many of the questions you submitted as possible. PHEW!
