Show notes provided by Joe PelusoJust imagine walking to the corner drug store, swinging the door wideopen, your eyes fixated on the comic spinner rack--and like a boltfrom the blue--there it is, in all its four-color glory--the firstappearance of The Justice League of America!   Well, it didn't quite happen like that for me when I firstdiscovered the JLA. I was only four when B&B #28 hit the stands inlate 1959. Little Joe (no relation to the Cartwright clan) purchasedhis first copy of a JLA mag when he was ten, but he would discoverthis gem years later at one of Phil Seuling's New York Comic Cons.    Join your long-winded "corner" host Joe, and fellow comic bookhistorian James as they mine the JLA's initial bow, and all theriotous ramifications it would wrought on the Silver Age of comics.From the fertile minds of Julius Schwartz, Gardner Fox and MikeSekowsky, to a golf game played by competing publishing "moguls", tothe fascinating construction of the team, this is definitely a seminalepisode of the Mint Podcast created for the discriminating comic bookhistorian!

In this episode of Hit Rewind, hosts Michael and John explore the diverse landscape of comic books from 1999. While Marvel faced significant financial struggles, leading to the sale of many assets, DC Comics thrived with innovative and captivating narratives. The discussion delves into Marvel's attempts to stay afloat despite bankruptcy, including the relaunch of iconic titles and the introduction of new miniseries like Moon Knight and Black Widow. On the other hand, DC Comics soared with compelling arcs such as "No Man's Land" and the return of the Justice Society. Notable runs from creators like Grant Morrison in the "JLA" series and Chuck Dixon in the Bat-related titles showcased the vibrant creativity driving DC during this period. Additionally, the episode touches on independent comics and the emergence of Wildstorm's America's Best Comics, further illustrating the dynamic shifts within the comic book industry at the turn of the millennium.

Surprise, friends. Grant Morrison joins the show for Superman Day! As the writer behind the seminal All-Star Superman, which observes its 20th anniversary this November, we cannot think of a better person to help us celebrate the Last Son of Krypton on his 87th birthday. Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, hit newsstands on April 18th, 1938. It is the source of everything you love about superhero comics. When Action Comics first arrived, America was in economic ruin. The world was about to enter its second great war. Despair was easily accessible, but two Jewish kids from Cleveland imagined a Man of Steel who could do the impossible and would act for those who could not act for themselves. As we look outside our windows in 2025, we see an incredible darkness, but we strive for a future beyond it. We can imitate the devils in the dark, or we can seek Superman, who reflects the best version of ourselves. Like most people, probably, we first encountered Superman through television and film; it was the All-Star Superman comics by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jamie Grant, Phil Balsman, and Travis Lanham that solidified our passion for the character. Those twelve issues showcased the joyous, awful, absurd, and adventurous universe Superman populated, making us fall in love with it and our own realm in return. As Morrison writes in Supergods, we are the stories we tell ourselves. In Superman, we see who we've been, who we are, and who we could be. We're positively chuffed to chat Superman with Grant Morrison. We discuss their approach to the character in All-Star Superman and how it differs from the version they wrote in JLA, Action Comics, Final Crisis, and other stories. We discuss the significance of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and what it means for Grant and others to extend their great idea. We talk about Lois and Clark, Lex Luthor, Samson, and Atlas, and Grant Morrison reveals their next big comic project somewhere along the line. Continue our conversation with Grant Morrison by visiting their Website, Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky. This Week's Sponsor: We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers.

Four-score and 157 episodes ago, we are back in the world of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben as we ask what if the Fantastic Four all had the same powers? We start off with yet another telling of their origin story in Mythos: Fantastic Four by Paul Jenkins & Paolo Rivera before jumping into our central issue by Jimmy Valentino that features Sue becoming Man-Thing, the FF as members of SHIELD, Johnny as Mr. Fantastic and the FF accidentally killing a baby. Yes, a baby. We wrap up with Jonathan Hickman's revolutionary soft-reboot of Marvel's first family leading into the decade long arc of Secret Wars, which seems prime to be a touchstone for the upcoming First Steps.

We end by discussing the FF's modern era courtesy Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham in a 2009 issue that kicks off the very long lead up to Secret War. Plus, we ponder why the Fantastic Four's origin store has been told so many times (or has it) and if the groups needs to have these specific powers.

Before the Fantastic Four (with Galactus) and Superman hit the big screen again, they are on our podcast! We kick things off with Galactus' first 1966 appearance courtesy Stan Lee & Jack Kirby before seeing the giant purple world eater tangle with both the first family of Marvel and the Man of Steel in Dan Jurgens' 1999 outing. We wrap up by pondering Ralph Ineson's upcoming turn as Galactus onscreen and whether the FF and Superman will ever share the screen (or page) together again. Ep. 153 What if Superman and the Fantastic Four teamed up against Galactus?from Superman / Fantastic Four #1Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersAre you hungry? We talk Galactus on this week's pod as he faces off against both the Fantastic Four and Superman. We start off with Galactus (and the Silver Surfer's) first appearance back in 1966 from Stan Lee & Jack Kirby as they battle the Fantastic Four. Then we turn to Superman / Fantastic Four #1 from 1999 from Dan Jurgens that sees Superman become a herald of Galactus. We wrap up by speculating on Galactus first on screen appearance in Fantastic Four: First Steps plus whether or not we will ever see a Marvel & DC pairing again.

On this episode, it's Superman's girl friend (two words): Lois Lane! We talk the origins of everyone's favorite "girl reporter" and kick things off with a 1944 story that sees Lois stepping out on her own sans Superman. Then, we zero in on a 1962 issue of Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane that sees the Daily Planet dynamo be "abandoned" by Superman (and face off against an octopus!) and then discover Superman's secret mermaid family on another planet (yep). We wrap up by discussing Lois on screen, why she doesn't have a more regular solo title and what to expect from Rachel Brosnahan's upcoming portrayal. Ep. 152 What if Lois Lane thought Superman abandoned her & hijinks ensued?from Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #30 (DC Comics)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersIt's more silver age silliness! After our recent Jimmy Olsen issue, we are talking about Superman's main squeeze: Lois Lane. We talk her origins from Siegel & Shuster (and Joanne Carter) and then cover an early story from Don Cameron & Ed Dobrotka that sees Lois talk someone off a ledge (literally). We then cover a zany issue of Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane where Lois faces off against gangsters, an opium smuggler and an octopus without the help of Superman (or so she thinks). Plus, lookout for a truly bizarre Krypton cameo! Later in that issue, Lois discovers Superman has a secret mermaid wife and child on another planet but everything might not be what it appears to be in this story from the pencil of iconic Lois Lane artist Kurt Schaffenberger. We wrap up by sharing our love for Margot Kidder, Elizabeth Tulloch, Teri Hatcher and speculate on how Lois will be portrayed in James Gunn's upcoming film.

Ready for some silver age silliness? For the first time, we are talking Superman's best pal: Jimmy Olsen! We start with a brief history of the redheaded sidekick, his first "official" appearance back in 1941, and an issue of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen that seems our hero transform into a werewolf, don drag to pretend to be a woman, befriend a leprechaun (that's really Mr. Mxyzptlk) and lots more zany shenanigans. We wrap up by talking about our favorite onscreen Jimmy's and what we want to see next from the character. Ep. 151 What if Jimmy Olsen became a werewolf, a woman and was friends with a leprechaun?from Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #44 (DC Comics)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersGrab your bow ties and sweater vests, it's a deep dive into Jimmy Olsen! We kick off with a look at the origins of the character, from office boy to cub reporter to (eventually) photographer including early appearances in Siegel & Shuster penned issues. Then we jump into the wacky world of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen in a three-part issue that sees Jimmy transform into a wolf-man, go under cover as a chorus girl and battle an inter-dimensional trickster, all set to the terrific art of Curt Swan. We wrap up by discussing Jimmy onscreen from Lois & Clark to My Adventures with Superman and speculate on Skyler Gisondo's take on the character in James Gunn's upcoming film.

Ker smo se razmeroma srečno odpóčili v novo leto, se moramo končno pogovoriti o petardah. In o ognjemetih. O pirotehniki v najširšem pomenu besede. Pred nekaj leti smo petardiranje, kot v naši oddaji imenujemo adventno kanonado, poskušali zakonsko regulirati. Predpisali prepovedi in sankcionirali kršitve, a ni videti, da smo kam napredovali. Oziroma nazadovali. Ravno nasprotno. Pokanja nismo utišali, še manj odpravili in kar nekaj otrok si je letos ponovno razstrelilo ude in okončine. Kot vse kaže tudi preventivne akcije, ozaveščanje in opozorila ne pomagajo, zato bo treba uvesti alternativne metode, ki smo se jih do zdaj izogibali, ampak kot vse kaže, je sodu zbilo dno. Tako v imenu domačih in prostoživečih živali in v imenu splošne javnosti kot prvi v medijskem svetu razkrivamo načrt, ki bo zagotovo pripeljal do zmanjšanja ali celo ukinitve in prenehanja kanonade v zadnjih dneh decembra ter tako obvaroval nežne otroške ročice, dlani ali oči, psom in mačkam pa prihranil obisk terapevta. Začetna faza našega načrta je dramatična in radikalna, a moramo se zavedati, da gre za proces – za maraton, ne šprint. Najprej bi morali s pirotehnike umakniti prodajne restrikcije. Še več; prodajo in uporabo bi morali spodbujati. Recimo, danes dobite ob kavi rogljiček, po novem, bi dobili petardo. Prodajo pirotehnike bi morali omogočiti v trgovinah z živili, v lekarnah in na poštah. V šolski kurikulum bi morali uvesti predmet "petardoslovje z osnovami ognjemeta", kjer bi učitelji domovinske vzgoje, ki imajo tako ali tako premalo ur, predavali o časih, ko se je prvi kitajski cesar poslinil, ko je ugledal eksplozije na nebu. Povedano na kratko: pirotehnika bi morala postati najprej običajen, nato pa še normalen del našega vsakdana. Seveda bi bili travmatološki oddelki zatrpani s poškodovanci … Ampak kot se danes nihče več ne vpraša, ali so električni skuterji nevarni in ali je nevarno smučanje na brezsnežnih smučiščih, bi se sčasoma prenehali spraševati tudi o nevarnosti pirotehnike. V tej prvi fazi bi torej petarde postale tako običajne, kot sta polka in valček na gasilski veselici. Potem pa v našem načrtu o ukinitvi pirotehnike nastopi druga faza. V njej bi začeli s pirotehniko posiljevati. Slovenske cerkve bi v dogovoru z nadškofijo ob jutranjem in večernem zvonjenju sprožile še manjši ognjemet, opoldanski zvon pa bi mežnar obeležil z dvanajstimi petardami. Na sodiščih bi sodnik namesto udarca s kladivcem prav tako vrgel petardo, ob rojstvu otroka pa bi država podarila mladim staršem ob slovenski zastavi še dva ognjemeta. Enega iznad porodnišnice, enega iz štorklje, zataknjene na domačem dvorišču. Ampak najbolj radikalne spremembe bi se morale zgoditi v slovenski vojski. Za začetek bi ta postala obvezna za vso mladino. Tudi za dekleta, kot je to v Izraelu. Teoretični del bi učil sestavo in delovanje ročne granate in ostalih pokalic, v praktičnem delu pa bi vojaki tekali po kraški jami, inštruktorji pa bi na njih metali petarde in se drli: "Topovski iz leva", "topovski iz desna!" Naj samo pripomnimo, da ne gre za novost, saj je rajnka JLA to tehniko že uporabljala in pokanje priskutila kar nekaj generacijam tedanjih nabornikov, današnjih starejših občanov naše države. Seveda v umetnosti gnetenja človeških značajev ne gre za novost; s pirotehniko bi posiljevali tako dolgo, da bi postala nadležna. Najprej bi ljudje ob vsakem novem poku rekli "Pa ne že spet", potem bi postajali nervozni, na koncu bi se tresli in končno bi zaradi pokanja pisali nestrpne spletne komentarje in kritizirali vlado. Da povzamemo; tisti, ki danes uživajo v pokanju in pokajo tudi sami, bi postali na pokanje hipersenzitivni in bi si zaželeli miru brez pokanja, kar pa je natančno to, kar si želimo tisti, ki v pokanju že danes ne uživamo. Vodi pa pokanje in metanje petard in spuščanje ognjemetov tudi do precej resnega razmisleka o stanju demokracije v državi. Če se ne moremo zediniti, da reguliramo, ukinemo in prenehamo s pirotehničnim terorjem manjšine, ko ta neposredno ogroža in jezi večino prebivalstva, kako lahko pričakujemo, da se bomo zedinili o družbenih procesih, ki zahtevajo toleranco večine, ko naj bi zaščitili manjšino! Pa še nekaj dobrega bi sledilo iz ukinitve in s prenehanjem adventne pirotehnike … Na civilizacijski lestvici bi ekspresno prehiteli Avstrijce.

Santa Claus is coming to town...or a comic book near you! We are talking a history of Santa Claus in comics plus Marvel & DC holiday specials. We start way back in 1947 with Action Comics that sees a real Scrooge try to ruin Christmas by causing Santa to gain a massive amount of weight from tainted chocolate. It's up to Superman to get St. Nick back to fighting weight and save the holiday. Then, we jump to What The in 1991 where Santa is again sidelined and Doctor Doom has to take over, much to the chagrin of the Avengers and Fantastic Four. We wrap up by talking about who else we'd like to see Santa meet.
