In the latest episode of the Nerd Byword, we embark on a thrilling journey through the origins of one of the most iconic superheroes of all time: Superman. With the excitement building for James Gunn's upcoming Superman movie, we decided to delve deep into three of the most significant origin stories of the Man of Steel and determine which one stands the test of time. Superman has had numerous origin stories over the years, but we focused on three that have left an indelible mark on the character: Man of Steel by John Byrne and Dick Giordano, Superman Birthright by Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu, and Superman Secret Origin by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. Each of these stories has its unique take on how Clark Kent became Superman, and they reflect the eras in which they were written. Which one reigns supreme? In addition to our Superman deep dive, we also cover the latest news on Marvel's Blade and discuss the recent Xbox Game Showcase. All this, plus brand-new nerd commendations.

COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! is a deep dive into ‘80s comics (plus a few noteworthy exceptions).In this weekly podcast, screenwriters Chris Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) and Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) discuss their favorite books, runs, and creators from the Bronze Age.• EPISODE 1:  Steven and Chris embark on the paradigm-shattering psychedelic trip that is the first seven issues of THRILLER — published by DC Comics in 1983 — and find themselves awestruck in its wake. One thing is certain: Trevor Von Eeden is a goddamn genius.SHOW NOTES0:05 - Discussing our first exposure to this "unsung-shock-your-brain" idea bomb of a comic.9:07 - An attempt to summarize our unwieldy pulp beast of a story, with an assist from Robert Loren Fleming, as well as discursive detours into THE SHADOW, DOC SAVAGE, and the great Richard Pryor.18:04 - Unconventional pacing in THRILLER and the powerful "delayed cumulative impact" of its story rhythms.23:20 - Novel panel compositions ("an obscene amount of panels!"), storytelling innovations, and the downright psychedelic properties of THRILLER. “…an incredible sense of discovery... Trevor Von Eden is literally inventing new storytelling mechanics on every page." "It's impossible for us to convey verbally how inventive this guy was."39:27 - TVE's atypical, kinetic, emotionally resonant approach to inking. "...no one was finishing their work with this roughness and gestural vitality... Von Eeden is all about the emotion..." With detours into the styles of Alex Toth, Neal Adams, and David Mazzuchelli.44:23 - Drawing characters "acting" without masks in non-superhero comics.  50:09 - Innovation in art, from Michaelangelo to manga, Frank Miller to Steven Spielberg, and how David Mazzuchelli's relatively small body of work that casts a huge shadow.1:30:17 - Dick Giordano's inking of TVE plus TVE being uniquely unrecognized for being such an absolute friggin' genius.1:37:17 - Celebrating the vibrant and unique voice of Robert Loren Fleming  — way ahead of his time in his decompressed approach to comic book storytelling, as well as the bold originality of his ideas.1:38:45 - Reading from Heidi MacDonald's amazingly astute, contemporaneous review of THRILLER from THE COMICS JOURNAL #93.1:47 - Discussing the outrageous letter column (mis)behavior of THRILLER's so-called editor, Alan Gold.1:49:34 - Back to Heidi MacDonald's absurdly prescient review, praising the overarching ambition,+ Visit ComicsRotYourBrain.com to get a look at some of the fantastic art discussed in our episodes!+ We appreciate your support of the show via Patreon: ComicsRotYourBrain+ Join us!

In 1973, John A. Mozzer, lover of pop culture interviewed 6 people in Reading, Pennsylvania to track down the history of Jim Steranko.  The 6th person was Western/Kid Colt and Hot Rod comic artist, Jack Keller who worked in comics since the Golden Age for companies like Quality, Fawcett, Atlas/Marvel, Charlton and more who went into detail into the history of his comics career as well as discussing meeting a young impressionable Jim Steranko as well as Stan Lee, Dick Giordano and Sal Gentile.  John was gracious to share these files with the world and CBH from his soundcloud, so the first 5 were given a massive audio restoration treatment by Alex Grand and are located and transcribed at the interview section of comicbookhistorians.com, and the 6th one, Jack Keller is digitally restored and audio engineered by Alex Grand and presented here.   John A. Mozzer also provided great imagery of these encounters located both at the CBH website, his flickr and as the thumbnail image for the recording presented here. Support the show

INTERVIEW: A master of his craft, Josef "Joe" Rubinstein has inked more pages and over more pencillers than perhaps anyone else in the business. He started early, inking the first pencilling assignment of his friend (and past guest) Mike Nasser at age 17. Joe was mentored by Dick Giordano in and out of Continuity Associates and maintained a working relationship with him the rest of his life. Among his extensive credits, he's known for inking the first Wolverine limited series (Claremont/Miller) and most, if not all, of the entries in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. Chances are, if you've read comics in the last 40 years, you've read a book Joe's inked!You can follow Joe on Instagram @josefrubinstein. _____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

What's up, dudes? Christmas Eve in Gotham: uptown, the streets are filled with last-minute shoppers and the cheering jingle of chimes. But here, in the forgotten part of the city, the streets are almost deserted, save for a handful of scavengers and their unfortunate victim—and the very special sort of vengeance which lurks in the sheltering shadows! That vengeance is Santa Ambassador Matt Spaulding from  North Pole Radio and Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast who join me to talk “Batman Monthly,” a 1988 UK comic from London Editions Magazine which reprinted older Batman stories. Volume 6 contains two classic Batman stories. In "Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas," Batman races to rescue a young girl from death by suicide. In his way stands the Blockbuster! In "Silent Night, Deadly Night," Denny O'Neil tells a tale of redemption when Batman helps a desperate and disgruntled former employee of a toymaker make up for his misdeeds.With the likes of Len Wein, Denny O'Neil, and Dick Giordano on these stories in "Batman Monthly," the Batman's humanity shines through! Christmas tree lot fight? Yup. Attempted strangulation with Christmas lights? Of course. Bruised and beaten Santas? Definitely. So grab your pipe tobacco present, hop in the Batmobile, and drive into this episode!‘Tis the PodcastFB: @tisthepodcastTwitter: @tisthepodIG: @tisthepodcastCheck us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com!

It is happening again. For our last casefile of 2022, we turn to what might be, pound for pound, the two best Batman stories ever written: 1974's "Night of the Stalker," by Steve Englehart, Sal and Vin Amendola, and Dick Giordano, and its 2005 remake "Deja Vu" by the late, great Darwyn Cooke. Despite being less than 30 pages combined, these two stories contain the very essence of the Dark Knight, and exploring them takes us to some new and exciting places. We have a Patreon! You can find The Black Casebook on Twitter @blackcasebook and Instagram @blackcasebookpod, and you can write in to blackcasebookpod@gmail.com to share any Bat-thoughts you have.

A writer and editor par excellence, Bob Greenberger started out just like you and me: as a fan. After cutting his editorial teeth at Starlog Press, Bob joined DC, where he initially worked with luminaries Len Wein, Marv Wolfman, and Dick Giordano on universe-wide projects like Crisis on Infinite Earths and the Who's Who guidebook. He went on to edit titles such as Suicide Squad and Doom Patrol, but really hit his stride with the various adaptations and extensions of the Star Trek franchise (including several novels). Later, he joined Marvel to grow their fledgling collected editions business, which is where he met and worked with Bandit Mike. Following a short stint there, he went back to DC, serving in a similar capacity for 5 years. Bob continues to write, most recently for a new pulp line of serials, Thrilling Adventure Yarns, through Kickstarter.You can follow Bob at bobgreenberger.com or @bobgreenberger on most social channels.__________________________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

It's the stuff of legend. Barbara Randall Kesel writes a 10-page letter to Dick Giordano, DC's head honcho in the 80s, explaining why the publisher was failing both its female character and readers. Next thing you know, she's offered a writing gig (taking on a Batgirl backup feature in Detective Comics) and enters the male-dominated comics industry as a new voice for equality. She goes on to become an editor at DC, co-writing, with then-husband Karl Kesel, a Hawk & Dove miniseries that was one of artist Rob Liefeld's first major projects. Hopping around publishers, she helped Dark Horse establish their superhero universe with Comics' Greatest World, took a turn at Image with WildC.A.T.s and Savant Garde, and joined GrossGen, where she wrote and edited several titles, including Meridian. She's even mastered licensed comics, with stints on My Little Pony, Ghost Whisperer, and Legends of the Dark Crystal. Barbara is an outspoken critic of sexism in comics, and she's seen her share of marginalization throughout her career. She gets into all of it this episode, so sit up and listen closely: you might even learn something!You can follow Barbara on Facebook (facebook.com/brkesel) and Twitter @barbarakesel.__________________________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you liked this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
