Podcast appearances and mentions of Jim Shooter

SUMMER CROSSOVER SPECTACULAR BEGINS! Love 'em or hate 'em, big event comics were a defining feature of the Iron Age, cramming a whole universe of superheroes into a single miniseries and/or spreading a single story out over multiple titles. We begin three months of surveying the crossover phenomenon with one of the first major examples: Marvel's Secret Wars II, written and architected by friend-of-the-podcast* Jim Shooter. Whereas the original Secret Wars was designed to take place relatively unobtrusively between issues of the regular monthly books, the sequel sprawled across the Marvel Universe for nine months. The cosmic being known as the Beyonder has come to Earth seeking the meaning of existence, and his limitless power—coupled with childlike curiosity and naivete—makes him a potential threat to the entire multiverse. But, in contrast with its action-packed predecessor, the frequently bizarre Secret Wars II spends much of its time on fish-out-of-water hijinks, thinly veiled attacks on former Marvel creators, mild satire of '80s consumer culture, and some uncomfortable fixations regarding women and relationships. Discussed in this episode: Secret Wars II #1-9, plus various tie-ins._________* (Not really.)Support us at patreon.com/ironageofcomics

Today we tackle yet another incipient cinematic universe that never made it past one movie because half the character rights went to another studio before release and then had its opening weekend just as every theater in America was closing due to COVID. It's Bloodshot starring Vin Diesel (who's terrible in it by the way), the first and last entry in the Valiant Cinematic Universe and a movie that seemingly fell out of a portal from 2009 after your high school drug dealer tripped and fell while trying to put the copy he owns into the DVD player. Kinda like if RoboCop and Total Recall did the fusion dance and it came out with a significantly lower IQ. We talk about the movie for maybe 15 minutes before Cole and returning guest/comic artist extraordinaire Graham (@EddieMcstriplin) talk about this really tall guy named Jim Shooter who once had an effigy of himself burned because Marvel employees were mad at him or something.

Show notes provided by Arco EspositoSecret Wars Part 2Having just watched the Masters on tv, I find that is the perfect analogy for this podcast, though in this case we will say that we now enter the back 6 of the masterful Secret Wars limited series! You heard us introduce you to the concepts and ideas behind Marvels first 12 issue opus, and here we will tie it all with a bow, giving insight on not only the rest of the story, but key moments like the Death of the Wasp, the introduction of the New Spider Woman, and of course we can't forget the very first appearance of Spider-Man's black costume! Sprinkle in some conversation about writer Jim Shooter and a little talk about the fantastic artist Mike Zeck and we have ourselves a great ending to this two part podcast! Join James, Joe, Chris and Mint's very own Marvel historian Arco as we bring you back to the middle of 1985 and the finale of the story line that started it all for many kids of the 80's and beyond!

Captain America #318 (1986)It's true — we have now entered Captain America's Guy Fieri phase as he travels the USA, not for “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” but more “Diners, Drive-Ins and CRIMES!” He's putzing around in a windowless van like he's in BLACK PHONE or something, showing off his Wakandan road technology. He runs into Blue Streak, the roller-skate based villain that goes it alone and changes outfits quicker than David Spade in that airplane bathroom in TOMMY BOY. Unfortunately for Blue Streak, it is 1986 and he's in a Captain America comic so he's soon to depart this mortal coil. Just ask Death Adder. Your co-worker ditches you to go see the first WrestleMania and next thing you know, some starstruck cabbie is waving a weapon in our face.Also (man there's too much here), Cap checks in with Jim Shooter and the Rockettes go on a massive group date with Hercules and Namor!*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:13:10 ***All this plus some convo on AGATHA ALL ALONG, THE PENGUIN and Jen buys a statue!Promo: WEIRD WARRIORS (weirdwarriorspodcast.podbean.com)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Before launching the Valiant Universe with the likes of Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus Robot Fighter, Harbinger, and more, Jim Shooter's Valiant Comics published a handful of Nintendo-licensed comics in 1990-91 based on Mario, Zelda, Game Boy, and Captain N. Is there enough discussion-worthy content within those issues to justify/fill an 82-minute episode? Nope! -- but 1990s game nostalgia / game-adaptation discussions abound! This episode exists to celebrate one of Justin's other podcasts -- the BAY STREET VIDEO PODCAST -- hitting 200 episodes, and devoting an hours-long special subscriber episode to reviewing the new mega boxset of the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie just released from Umbrella Entertainment!

X-MEN This audiobook is based on an unproduced film treatment by the mysterious writing duo Pete & Anna. In the early 1980s, Belgian-born Canadian producer, TV executive, and author Michael Hirsh pitched the idea to Marvel comic writer Jim Shooter. The treatment itself is dated May 27, 1982. Had the film been made, it would likely have been produced by Nelvana, the film company Hirsh was associated with at the time.

Part 2 Acomi and Turk182 explore the art and short lived career of Canadian comic book artist Gene Day. A close friend and apprentice (of sorts) of artist Dave Sim, Gene did work for small press comics while trying to land a job at Marvel. He was eventually hired as the inker artist for the martial arts comic The Hands of Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, and later became the series artist with issue #100. His clean and detailed art, along with impressive layouts and design, caught readers attention and sales increased. But, supposedly, not everyone liked Gene's panel layout and visual narrative. It's said, that editor Jim Shooter wasn't a fan of Gene's long, sequential action panels. A work incident involving a weekend trip to New York, big infested hotel, sleeping on the bullpen sofa, and lack of heat lead to his untimely death. Join Acomi and Turk discuss the beauty of Gene's work and his near cinematic story telling. They look into the rumors surrounding his feud with Jim Shooter, and the weekend work trip that some believe cause his death. Learn about an artist who had a stunning talent for action scenes. #OMTWF #Acomi #Turk182 #KorovaEntertainment #Marvel #MarvelComics #GeneDay #DaveSim #JimShooter #ShangChi #MasterOfKungFu #DougMoench Follow Acomi on Twitter at @AcomiDraws and on Instagram at AcomiDraws.

Episode 23 - Murdock and Marvel: 1985 This year Marvel is all about the cash grab, and so we get Secret Wars II, a bunch of vaguely copyright-infringing kids books, and some fantastic Bill Sienkiewicz art that makes everything else worth it.  Let's talk 1985 in comics, Marvel and Daredevil. The Year in Comics  Notable and Newsworthy Comics and Sequential Art: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33476.Comics_and_Sequential_Art Industry Trends Eagle/Kirby Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Marvel Events & Happenings New Titles New Characters Series Ending Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Peter David Dan's Favorite The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #214-225, Fantastic Four #281, Marvel Tales #181, Spectacular Spider-Man #108-109, Marvel Fanfare #23   Writing credits: Denny O'Neil (214-18, 220-222, 225), Frank Miller (219), O'Neil and Jim Shooter (223), Jim Owsley (224)  Pencilers: David Mazzucchelli (214-17, 220-223, 225), Sal Buscema (218), John Buscema (219), Dan Jurgens and Geof Isherwood (224)  Inks: David Mazzucchelli (214-17, 220-221, 225), Ian Akin and Brian Garvey (218), Gerry Talaoc (219), Kim DeMulder (222-223), Mel Candido and Bruce Patterson (224)  The year starts with the conclusion of the Micah Synn story that took most of 1984. Synn is weakened and running for his life. Daredevil saves Synn from Kingpin's men and some homeless men before himself asking for help.  Next was an interesting if not confusing western inspired story taking place in two different places and times that seemed to have a connection to Daredevil  We learn in a story with the Gael that Glorianna works for the I.R.A. as the Old Woman of Beare  We get another story with the Jester who breaks out of prison just so he can kidnap a noted actor and take his place for a tv production of Cyranno De Bergerac. In that story we see Daredevil dress up as the Jester and lead police around as a distraction allowing the Jester to finish his flawless performance.  We got a really fascinating story from Frank Miller in which Matt Murdock doesn't appear as Daredevil at all nor does he even speak.  Next, we get a tragic end to a long-time character. This will be our spotlight for this week.  The follow-up to that story takes Daredevil/Murdock to Venice, Italy in which he succeeds in getting the patents back – but it doesn't help his feelings of guilt.  The Mudd Brothers kidnap Glorianna and Daredevil and Black Widow come to her rescue.  We get a tie-in to Secret Wars with a character called the Beyonder that…in all honesty… Didn't make much sense.   The year ends with Daredevil taking down a new villain, the Saturion, and returning a locket to a blind man and then taking on another Spider-Man villain – the Vulture. There is also an epilogue with Black Crow was never followed on.  New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #220 July 1985 “Fog” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway Quality counts less than we'd like.

Episode 16 - Murdock and Marvel: 1978 This week Marvel starts to steady the ship, even as the Distinguished Competition is kneecapped by their corporate overlords.  Prices go up!  Prices go down!  Great new companies sprout up!  Established companies die!  And as usual there are predictions about the impending death of comics.  Welcome to 1978, everyone.  Preshow Listener Mail from Zach Duane at Fan Fusion (https://www.phoenixfanfusion.com/) The Year in Comics  Notable and Newsworthy Dr. Strange TV Movie: https://archive.org/details/dr.-strange-1978-movie Industry Trends Eagle Awards The Year in Marvel Chaos continues and a big name leaves...again.

Meanwhile, another of New York's elite that was manipulated by Killgrave hires the Paladin to hunt down Killgrave as well. Eventually Daredevil and Paladin meet, briefly fight and part ways.   After a bad dream, Murdock decides to come clean to Heather Glenn about his Daredevil secret and tell her that Maxwell Glenn is innocent and he's working to find the person responsible. While waiting for Heather to come home, he answers her phone and learns Maxwell Glenn has committed suicide in prison. When she arrives, he still comes clean and Heather blames Daredevil/Matt for everything including Maxwell Glenn's death. She then disappears.  In the Marvel Two-In-One, Matt Murdock is called on to represent Ben Grimm as he's trial for causing too much damage in New York but leads to Daredevil briefly working for the Mad Thinker whom is out to get Grimm. However, with the Help of Vision and Yellowjacket, they are able to take down the villain.  Knowing he can't fix his relationship with Heather, Daredevil orchestrates an intervention/meet-up between Debbie Harris and Foggy Nelson in Central Park – which leads to them deciding they are going to get married again. While in Central Park, Daredevil has another run-in with the Paladin.  Next Daredevil is lured into a trap with Heather Glenn as the bait by Mister Hyde and Cobra. After a lengthy battle that includes the Billy Club being destroyed (again) and Hyde and Daredevil falling from the 12th floor of Glenn's apartment complex, Daredevil is captured.  That leads to an epic final show-down in which Daredevil must take on the Jester, Gladiator, Hyde, Cobra (and briefly Paladin) who are under the influence of Killgrave. This will be our spotlight story for the week.  The year ends with Daredevil experiencing mysterious headaches which is causing him trouble with his radar sense. We also learn Death-Stalker is working on a plan to get Daredevil.  At the Storefront, Murdock interviews and hires a new assistant. During the walk to dinner, Murdock learns Black Widow is in town with the Avengers so he bails on Becky Blake and Foggy. As Daredevil, he invades Avengers mansion taking down Beast and Captain America and calls out Black Widow saying “She'll pay dearly”  New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #154 September 1978 "Arena" Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway The Strange Case of Jack Kirby Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you!  Email us at questions@comicsovertime.com or find us on Twitter @comicsoftime. ------------------ THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING CREATORS AND RESOURCES  Music: Our theme music is by the very talented Lesfm.  You can find more about them and their music at https://pixabay.com/users/lesfm-22579021/.  The Grand Comics Database: Dan uses custom queries against a downloadable copy of the GCD to construct his publisher, title and creator charts.  Comichron: Our source for comic book sales data.  Man Without Fear: Kuljit Mithra's Daredevil site contains a staggering collection of resources about our hero, including news, interviews and comic details.    The American Comic Book Chronicles: Published by TwoMorrows, these volumes provide an excellent analysis of American comics through the years.  Because these volumes break down comic history by year and decade they are a great place to get a basic orientation on what is happening across the comic industry at a particular point in time.  Joshua and Jamie Do Daredevil: A fantastic podcast that does a deep-dive into Daredevil comics.  This ran from 2018-2020, and covered most of the first volume of Daredevil, and was a fun way to get an in-depth look at each issue of Daredevil from 1-377.  My Marvelous Year: This is a reading-club style podcast where Dave Buesing and friends chose important or interesting books from a particular year to read and discuss.  This helped me remember some fun and crazy stories, and would be a great companion piece to Murdock and Marvel for those who want more comic-story-specific coverage.  BOOKLIST  The following books have been frequently used as reference while preparing summaries of the comic history segments of our show.  Each and every one comes recommended by Dan for fans wanting to read more about it!  Licari, Fabio and Marco Rizzo.  Marvel: The First 80 Years: The True Story of a Pop-Culture Phenomenon.  London: Titan Books, 2020.  This book is sort of a mess, as the print quality is terrible, and Titan doesn't even credit the authors unless you check the fine print.  It's like this was published by Marvel in the early 60s!

The Avengers had a stellar 5 year window when it was one of the finest comic's being published. The writer of that run, Jim Shooter, shaped stories and conflicts that would influence the Avengers films as well as the Civil War event. I witnessed it all in real time and take you deeper into this acclaimed run that energized fandom. 

Episode 15 - Murdock and Marvel: 1977 Its 1977, and this week we see the dawn of a number of very influential independent titles, and Marvel and DC continue to try to bash each other into the ground.  Comics are gaining in popularity on TV, with THREE superhero shows now on the small screen, and Marvel catches a tiger by the tail as it agrees to do a comic book adaptation of a movie that is about to change everything for geek culture in America.  Preshow Murdock & Marvel on a break for Duane's move. Next Show should be June 5th. Marvel Unlimited Show will return in the meantime. The Year in Comics  Notable and Newsworthy Industry Trends Eagle Awards The Year in Marvel Overall it was a rough year, as delays and problems are rampant.  This is evidenced by our own Daredevil, who only managed to get out 9 issues this year, after a decade of monthly releases. New Titles Series Ending New Characters Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Mike Zeck The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #141-149, Iron Fist #11, Marvel Team-Up #56, Avengers #159 and Marvel Comics Super Special #1 Marv Wolfman starts the year as writer, but Jim Shooter takes over with issue 144.  Bob Brown also starts the year as artist but like Wolfman, would leave after issue 143 with 30 artist credits in the series. Later in 1977, Brown would lose his battle with Leukemia. Artist credits from 144-149 include Lee Elias, George Tuska, Gil Kane and Klaus Jansen. The year starts with Daredevil taking down Maxwell Glenn's assistant Stone after he takes a shot at Foggy Nelson. If that wasn't enough, Bulleye is back in town, captures Daredevil with the cunning use of a paper airplane (“In my hands anything is a deadly weapon”) and ties him to a giant crossbow arrow and fires him towards New Jersey. Though Daredevil is able to escape the death trap with the help of Nova.  Next Daredevil must take on Cobra and Hyde who are again working together and trying to steal a new serum recipe from a couple who have a rooftop jungle (and a pet lion) in the middle of the city.   The Owl breaks Man-Bull out of prison and asks him to be his bodyguard and kidnap a doctor who can help him regain the use of his legs. Once captured the doctor gives the Owl an exoskeleton which allows him to walk and fly. But it also has (unknown to the Owl) a flaw that Daredevil is able to exploit to defeat the villain.  Next, we see Bullseye again set his sights on Daredevil. This time challenging him to a duel at a TV Studio while broadcasting it. With Daredevil's radar sense on the fritz due to a golf ball, Daredevil takes a beating (and being shot) Daredevil is finally able to take down Bullseye in the Studio's wrestling ring. When pressed who hired him, Bullseye says the name “Glenn”.  Daredevil goes to confront Maxwell Glenn and he confesses to several crimes (including kidnapping Deborah Harris, Foggy's Fiancée) without much resistance. We learn that Killgrave was pulling the strings and after Harris is rescued, Maxwell Glenn is arrested. Daredevil realizes something is up and upon returning to Glenn's office he finds a secret door leading to Killgrave and a group of entranced business leaders. Killgrave escapes while Daredevil has to fight through the group.  On the search for Killgrave and a way to clear Maxwell Glenn's name, Daredevil runs into Death-Stalker instead. Death-Stalker creates a new Smasher in an attempt to take down his foe. The two have fight on a rooftop and then a final battle in an alley where Daredevil causes Smasher to drop a garbage bin on himself.  As the year ends, Heather Glenn decides to leave Matt Murdock because he wasn't there for her during the whole ordeal with her father. And Debbie Harris will not see or talk to Foggy as she's still in shock from her kidnapping.  As a preview at the end of issue 149, we see the message: Next: Daredevil's Landmark 150th issue, introducing the power of Paladin and possibly the most shattering shock ending ever!  New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #146 June 1977 “Duel!” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway Marvel is in a lot of trouble Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you!  Email us at questions@comicsovertime.com or find us on Twitter @comicsoftime. ------------------ THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING CREATORS AND RESOURCES  Music: Our theme music is by the very talented Lesfm.  You can find more about them and their music at https://pixabay.com/users/lesfm-22579021/.  The Grand Comics Database: Dan uses custom queries against a downloadable copy of the GCD to construct his publisher, title and creator charts.  Comichron: Our source for comic book sales data.  Man Without Fear: Kuljit Mithra's Daredevil site contains a staggering collection of resources about our hero, including news, interviews and comic details.    The American Comic Book Chronicles: Published by TwoMorrows, these volumes provide an excellent analysis of American comics through the years.  Because these volumes break down comic history by year and decade they are a great place to get a basic orientation on what is happening across the comic industry at a particular point in time.  Joshua and Jamie Do Daredevil: A fantastic podcast that does a deep-dive into Daredevil comics.  This ran from 2018-2020, and covered most of the first volume of Daredevil, and was a fun way to get an in-depth look at each issue of Daredevil from 1-377.  My Marvelous Year: This is a reading-club style podcast where Dave Buesing and friends chose important or interesting books from a particular year to read and discuss.  This helped me remember some fun and crazy stories, and would be a great companion piece to Murdock and Marvel for those who want more comic-story-specific coverage.  BOOKLIST  The following books have been frequently used as reference while preparing summaries of the comic history segments of our show.  Each and every one comes recommended by Dan for fans wanting to read more about it!  Licari, Fabio and Marco Rizzo.  Marvel: The First 80 Years: The True Story of a Pop-Culture Phenomenon.  London: Titan Books, 2020.  This book is sort of a mess, as the print quality is terrible, and Titan doesn't even credit the authors unless you check the fine print.  It's like this was published by Marvel in the early 60s!

Cancelled Comic Cavalcade Hello, and welcome to episode 367 of The Fantasticast. Each episode, Steve Lacey guides you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. After an extended break, Steve is back to continue his journey through the latter issues of Marvel Two-in-One. What happens if a team-up books doesn't involve a team-up, and neither title star recognises each other? What happens if the non-title guest stars are more interesting than the actual guest star? And what happens if The Thing is actually his own grandfather in an attempt to match the Marvel sliding timescale with a story set in a very specific timeframe? Find out in this week's Fantasticast!

In the 1980s, Jim Shooter was editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics for nine years. During his run as editor, Marvel produced Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run on the Uncanny X-Men, Byrne's work on Fantastic Four, Frank Miller's series of Daredevil stories, Walt Simonson's crafting of Norse mythology with the Marvel Universe in Thor, and Roger Stern's runs on both Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man. He wrote the iconic Marvel event Secret Wars which was tied into a toyline. Secret Wars led to the creation of the Spider-Man black costume. It was one of the biggest crossovers to date and a storyline that is expected to be the focal point of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Six. This episode was recorded live at Fan Expo Philadelphia 2023 and includes commentary on the state of comic books and the growth of the superhero genre. Shooter also comments on the black costume eventually turned into the iconic villain Venom.

The Legion has moved to it's new home in Action Comics.  Back to being the back up story behind Superman this time.   Action Comics 378 and 379 are actually two tales I found to be a bit of fun. Jim Shooter shows us why the kids need to stay away from the Forbidden Fruit. The E. Nelson Bridwell writes a great little action/mystery storie with great art by Win Mortimor and Murphy Anderson art   #DCComics #podcast #comicbook #Superman #Superboy #LegionofSuperHeroes #ElementLad #TimberWolf #LightningLad #LightLass #MonEl #ShadowLass #DreamGirl #JimShooter #ENelsonBridwell #MurphyAnderson

Talk about an eclectic career! JayJay Jackson started out as a cartographer, drawing street maps in the days before GPS. She also did schematics and production design for various outfits, including Texas Instruments. Somehow, she parlayed this into a gig as a designer (and later art director) at Marvel Comics. She also colored comics and ads, including those for Spider-Man, Punisher, and Alien Legion. More importantly, JayJay met Jim Shooter there, and became an indispensable part of his subsequent ventures at Valiant, Defiant, and Broadway Comics. She even did some painting for Topps cards, including Universal Monsters, Vampirella, and Star Wars Galaxy.JayJay is now a freelance illustrator and writer, and you can follow her work at jayjayjackson.com or on Instagram @jayjayzee._____________________Dollar Bin Bandits is the official podcast of TwoMorrows Publishing.

John Byrne Doesn't Play Well With Others Hello, and welcome to episode 367 of The Fantasticast. Each episode, Steve Lacey guides you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. We're finally here, the start of the 1980s renaissance of the Fantastic Four. John Byrne is here as writer and artist, and the Fantastic Four will never be the same again. Diablo is back in town, and looking to use the elemental nature of the Fantastic Four against his old enemies. Only some cunning thinking, and a well-stocked scuba store, can prevent the team from being defeated by their own dark reflections. And only the former co-host of The Fantasticast can help guide Steve through this new beginning. Yes, returning to the show for the start of the Byrne run is former Fantasticast co-host Andrew Leyland. He tore himself away from reviewing The Overlooked Dark Knight, and from hosting his eclectic pop-culture review show The Palace of Glittering Delights, to dust off his Fantastic Four longbox and make a return to the world of Fantastic Four review and commentary. Missed him? As well as his podcasts, you can also follow him on (what's left of) twitter where he is @leyland_andrew!
