The final part of this insightful and engaging conversation, we reflect on the evolution of card manufacturing since the 1980s and discuss the potential impacts of ongoing changes within the sector. A primary topic of discussion is the entry of Fanatics into the industry, and the potential for it to positively impact the sector if handled correctly, despite recent consolidation at the manufacturer level. However, we stress the importance of attracting more collectors, rather than just boosting card production, to ensure long-term growth and sustainability of the hobby. Meanwhile, we caution new companies against focusing solely on financial returns, and instead highlight the significance of embracing the love and passion for card trading. The conversation also includes a look at the rising participation of younger fans, as well as the challenging transitions companies face when going public, which is a potential path for Fanatics. The speakers nostalgically reflect on their personal connections with card collecting, before offering their perspective on the industry's power structures, arguing that a duopoly could prove to be more formidable than monopoly or single dominant entity. Lastly, they propose an untapped growth area within the hobby: the music, celebrity, and entertainment sector, which they believe could attract a broader demographic and instill a deep sense of nostalgia, similar to sports. They suggest that companies like Fanatics could leverage their marketing prowess to create structured collectables centered around musicians and actors, potentially fuelling a ten-fold growth in this niche. The conversation is a deep dive into the complexities, challenges, and opportunities within card and collectibles market, underscoring the need to balance profit motives with the core joy and love of collecting. 00:00 The Evolution of Card Manufacturing 00:20 The Impact of Fanatics on the Industry 00:48 The Importance of Growing the Collector Base 01:10 The Role of Fanatics in Expanding the Hobby 01:55 The Potential of Young Collectors 02:00 The Dangers of Overemphasizing Financial Returns 03:42 The Challenges of Going Public 05:41 The Origins of a Card Collector 07:21 The Dynamics of Monopolies and Duopolies 10:07 The Future of Collecting: Music and Celebrity Cards

Episode 2 - Murdock and Marvel: 1964 On last week's show we discussed the long history of Marvel Comics from 1939 to 1963. This week we finally see where Stan, Jack and the rest of the Marvel bullpen had been leading up to. It's time to talk about 1964, and the debut of the World's Most Interesting Superhero – Daredevil! Listener Feedback Let us know what you think of the new season The Year in Comics 1964 was an eventful year in America, and many of the things going in politics and culture made their way into the comics. New Comics, Creators & Characters Big Moments Best Selling Books... and Marvels The Year in Marvel By the start of 1964 most of the characters that would headline the Marvel Universe were already in place. But there were still new characters and places to fill in, and 1964 added a number of Avengers and villains to the world. Even as the cast of characters grew, though, Lee still had a limited number of monthly titles he could put out due to a restrictive distribution deal. His solution? Tales to Astonish would be divided in half, and would co-star the Incredible Hulk and Giant Man. Later in the year Tales of Suspense would follow, with Cap and Iron Man sharing the title as of issue #59 Starts and Ends New Characters Who's in the Bullpen ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: George Tuska Stories to Remember The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil Issues 1-5, Amazing Spider-Man #16 and #18 The stories were all written by Stan Lee by art was by three different artists: Bill Everett for issue 1, Joe Orlando for 2-4, and Wallace “Wally” Wood for issue 5 – who's announced in the title as the permanent artist. Daredevil's origin story (April 1964) Nelson and Murdock law firm is formed right after Nelson and Murdock graduate college. Karen Page joins them as their assistant. First cross over heroes/villain from another book, Thing/Fantastic Four and Electro in book 2 (Electro first appeared in Spider-Man #9) Mostly single book stories involve Daredevil taking down the villain while hiding the fact he's Daredevil from Nelson and Page. Letters column added starting in book 4 Full page “pin-up” of Daredevil at the end of issue 5.

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! But the information is good, and it is presented in an entertaining fashion. So its decent, but I would recommend you see if you can just borrow it from the library instead of purchasing. Wells, John. American Comic Book Chronicles: 1960-1964. Raleigh: Two Morrows, 2015. Not cheap, but a fantastic series that is informative and fun to read. Wright, Bradford. Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001. This is the revised edition. Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History. New York: DK Publishing, 2022. The academic in my rails at using information from any work that doesn't have an author credit, but this is a decent (if very surface) look at each year in the history of Timely / Marvel from 1939 to 2021. Cowsill, Alan et al. DC Comics Year by Year: A Visual History. New York: DK Publishing, 2010. Because its nice to occasionally take a peek at what the Distinguished Competition is up to. Dauber, Jeremy. American Comics: A History. New York, W.W. Norton & Company, 2022. An excellent, relatively compact history of the domestic comic industry from its 19th century origins through to recent 21st century developments. An excellent successor to Bradford Wright's Comic Book Nation.

Klassiker: Born Again

Radio Rackham

KLASSIKER Frank Miller og David Mazzucchelli signerede i 1985–86 deres julemirakel med Daredevil: Born Again. Radio Rackham bringer dig ind i det nye år med historien om Matt Murdocks og Karen Pages spirituelle genfødsel: en bittersød hyldest til hverdagens forfald, der på sin vis markerer superheltens endeligt. Wivel, Thorhauge og Storm gæstes af forfatter og dramatiker Jokum Rohde, der med behørig passion udlægger sin tolkning af den djævleklædte selvtægtshelt Daredevils galskab, ultravoldens kaos og den indre nødvendighed, der karakteriserer Miller og Mazzucchellis uperfekte arbejde på serien og måske gør den mere vedkommende end deres efterfølgende mesterværk, Batman: Year One (1987). Daredevil: Born Again blev oprindeligt bragt som føljeton i Daredevil 277–231. Som Rohde forklarer var den kulminationen på en længere historie, der strækker sig helt tilbage til de tidligste Daredevil-hæfter af Stan Lee, Bill Everett, Joe Orlando og Wally Wood fra debuten i 1964 og frem, men i ganske særlig grad foregribes af Millers første run på serien fra 1979–83 og forbilledet Denny O'Neill's underkendte, efterfølgende bidrag. Vi diskuterer Mazzucchellis helt særlige, stoflige tilgang til skildringen af New York og de følelsesmæssige, han bibringer Millers manuskript, men negligerer i skyndingen desværre Christie Scheeles og Richmond Lewis' sanselige og til tider ekspressive farvelægning. Og så kigger vi på, hvorledes Miller her knæsatte Daredevil som den første eksplicit religiøse superhelt, iscenesat i en fortælling med åbenlyst kristne overtoner, der tilføjer Julens djævleuddrivelse Påskens genopstandelsesmotiv og ender med at erklære helten for Guds spydspids på Jorden. Vi kigger på Millers komplicerede og ikke uproblematiske kvindesyn, hans ambivalente politiske overbevisning et sted mellem liberal og fascistisk dyrkelse af individet, og mellem et reaktionært kultursyn og en progressiv imperialisme- og kapitalismekritik. Et afsnit med masser af vitaminer og endnu mere entusiasme. Snyd ikke dig selv for dette nytårsbrag af en udsendelse. Godt nytår!

Les comics d'aujourd'hui sont-ils gangrénés par la représentation de la diversité et par un omniprésent message de tolérance ? Retour dans les années 1950, une époque bénie où on nous emmerdait pas avec toutes ces conneries ! A long time ago… Régulièrement, on peut voir une partie du lectorat fan de comic books se plaindre du contenu politisé de certaines publications. Aujourd'hui, d'après eux, les comics déborderaient de messages plus ou moins cachés prônant la diversité et défendant les positions de ce que certains et certaines appellent “le wokisme”. Si l'un des derniers exemples en date est la révélation de la bisexualité de Jon Kent, le fils et successeur de Superman, la liste est longue comme le bras. Que ce soit sur le papier avec Miss Marvel, de confession musulmane, ou au cinéma avec le comédien afro-américain Jeffrey Wright dans le rôle du commissaire Gordon du “The Batman” de Matt Reeves, la moindre évolution d'un personnage fait monter au créneau toute une frange de l'opinion. Mettons les choses au clair tout de suite : les histoires de super-héros ont toujours été politisées et chargées d'un message social. Dire le contraire, c'est mentir. Dès le premier numéro de Action Comics en 1938, Jerry Siegel et Joe Shuster mettent en scène Superman en train de corriger un mari violent et un politicien véreux. En 1946, dans son show radiophonique, Il affronte même des suprématistes blancs dans “Clan of the Fiery Cross”, adapté en comic book chez DC Comics sous le titre “Superman Smashes the Klan”. Dans les années 1970, d'autres personnages vont cristalliser les travers de l'Amérique dans leurs aventures. Le duo formé par Green Lantern et Green Arrow, sous la plume de Dennis O'Neil et le crayon de Neal Adams, va traverser les États-Unis et mettre en exergue les fléaux qui gangrènent le pays : racisme, drogue, sexisme, et dérives sectaires… En 1972, Luke Cage, alias Power Man, co-créé par Archie Goodwin, Georges Tuska et Billy Graham, montre le visage des ghettos où les afro-américains sont abandonnés par un système imprégné par le ségrégationnisme et la discrimination raciale. Toujours chez Marvel, à partir de 1975, les X-Men de Chris Claremont se posent en défenseurs du pacifisme, de l'humanisme et de la tolérance alors qu'ils sont eux-mêmes rejetés par la société qu'ils s'efforcent de protéger. Et que dire d'un personnage comme Captain America, qui dès sa première aventure, en 1941, va carrément mettre une droite à Adolf Hitler en personne ? Si comme une bonne partie de la première vague de super-héros du Golden Age apparue durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, il va jouer le jeu de la propagande américaine en encourageant l'effort de guerre, à partir des années 1970, Steve Rogers incarnera une autre vision des États-Unis, allant jusqu'à s'opposer physiquement à un président piétinant les valeurs pour lesquelles il se bat. Tout aussi politique et symbolique, mais beaucoup moins docile. Ce ne sont là que les exemples les plus connus et les plus flagrants du sous-texte social et politique présent dès les premiers pas de nos super-héros préférés. Les comics ont toujours été le reflet de la société dans laquelle ils étaient produits. Et si cette affirmation est sûrement plus vraie que jamais, penser que les publications du XXème siècle étaient totalement neutres en terme d'idéologie, et bien c'est faux. Et de la même façon, si vous avez tout à fait le droit d'être en désaccord avec les messages véhiculés par les comic books d'aujourd'hui, vous ne pouvez pas leur reprocher de contenir ces messages, car cela fait partie de la nature même de la bande dessinée américaine depuis qu'elle existe. Space Oddity Fondé en 1944 par le pionnier du comic book Max Gaines, Educational Comics, qui deviendra plus tard Entertaining Comics, se spécialise tout d'abord dans des adaptations en bande dessinée de la Bible et de l'histoire des États-Unis. Quand Max décède accidentellement en 1947, c'est son fils William qui reprend la société et donne une nouvelle direction à EC Comics. La particularité de William Gaines, c'est qu'il n'y connait rien aux comic books. Se destinant à devenir enseignant, c'est plus par respect de l'héritage familial que par passion qu'il va reprendre la maison d'édition, se contentant dans un premier temps de maintenir la ligne éditoriale établie par son père. Mais EC Comics est lourdement endetté et c'est grâce à l'intervention du dessinateur Al Feldstein, qui encourage Gaines à revoir son catalogue et à surfer sur les tendances en publiant des récits policiers, des westerns ou des histoires de romances, que l'éditeur va atteindre un certain équilibre financier. Gaines et Feldstein , tous deux amateurs d'horreur et de fantastique, vont tenter de publier quelques histoires dans ces styles qui ont le vent en poupe chez les jeunes, et rapidement constater que c'est un succès. À partir de 1950, les périodiques de EC Comics se transforment peu à peu en poussant les curseurs toujours plus loin. Les histoires policières mettent en scène des meurtres sordides toujours plus gores, et les comic books de guerre ou de romance sont renommés pour devenir des magazines d'horreur ou de science-fiction remplis de monstres et présentant plusieurs courtes histoires caractérisés par leur chute toujours plus choquante ! The Vault of Horror, Tales from the Crypt et The Haunt of Fear forment le trio de tête du catalogue EC Comics qui va inspirer pratiquement tous les autres éditeurs de l'époque, entraînant le marché dans une surenchère sanguinolente qui aura bientôt d'importantes répercussions sur l'histoire des comics, mais je vais y revenir. William Gaines, qui a grandi en lisant des pulp's, va également plébisciter la publication de récits de science-fiction dans ses magazines, un genre qui trouve un souffle nouveau à cette période, inspiré par les peurs d'invasions et de conflits nucléaires nées de la Guerre Froide. Et justement, maintenant que le contexte est posé, revenons-en au sujet principal de cet article : Judgment Day, une histoire de science-fiction publiée par EC Comics en 1953. Such a lovely color for you Paru pour la première fois dans le dix-huitième numéro de Weird Fantasy, Judgment Day, écrit par Al Feldstein et dessiné par Joe Orlando, est un récit typique de l'époque. Courte histoire de 7 pages, elle met en scène Tarlon, un astronaute terrien envoyé par la république galactique sur la planète Cybrinia afin de déterminer si celle-ci mérite ou non d'être intégrée au consortium qu'il représente. Cybrinia a la particularité d'être habitée par des robots laissés ici en autonomie par les humains pour y développer leur propre société. Et alors qu'il visite l'usine dans laquelle les êtres artificiels sont fabriqués par leurs semblables, Tarlon s'étonne de n'avoir croisé jusque là que des robots de couleur orange. L'émissaire terrien apprend alors de son guide que les robots bleus, eux, vivent dans un quartier à part, nommé “Blue Town”, et que dans le bus pour s'y rendre, les robots orange et les bleus ne doivent pas se mélanger, chacun ayant une place prédéfinie, à l'avant ou à l'arrière. Une fois à Blue Town, Tarlon demande à visiter l'usine dans laquelle les robots bleus sont fabriqués et il découvre, assez étonné, que le procédé est tout à fait identique à celui des robots orange, excepté la phase d'éducation, durant laquelle les robots bleus sont conditionnés pour être serviles et rester cantonnés aux tâches les plus ingrates, alors qu'il n'existe aucune justification à cela. Lorsqu'il questionne son guide orange quant à cette situation, ce dernier explique qu'il en a toujours été ainsi et qu'en tant que simple individu, il ne peut rien faire pour changer l'ordre établi sur Cybrinia. Tarlon quitte alors la planète en informant son hôte que son monde n'est pas prêt pour rejoindre la république galactique, mais que si son peuple se remet en question, tout espoir n'est pas perdu car il fut un temps où les habitants de la Terre avaient, eux-aussi, des difficultés à vivre ensemble. Une fois en route vers la Terre à bord de sa navette, Tarlon retire son casque et c'est le visage d'un homme noir qui est révélé au lecteur. Si, aujourd'hui, cette parabole pourrait sembler un peu moralisatrice et dépourvue de finesse, elle expose pourtant en seulement quelques pages tous les problèmes et les non-sens nés du racisme et de la ségrégation, et ça à tous les niveaux d'un système. Et c'est aussi effrayant que décourageant de constater que pratiquement soixante-dix ans plus tard, la situation n'a pas vraiment changé. En fait, lors de sa publication en 1953, Judgment Day sera très bien accueillie par les lecteurs et bon nombre d'entre eux témoigneront même que cette courte histoire les a poussé à se remettre en question. Mais quand EC Comics décide de réimprimer le court récit dans le trente-troisième numéro de Incredible Science Fiction en 1956, c'est une autre histoire… Sauvons la jeunesse ! Car entre temps, le monde de la bande dessinée américaine a changé. Au début des années 1950, l'Amérique cherche un nouveau bouc émissaire à qui attribuer la hausse des chiffres de la délinquance. Sous l'impulsion de livres comme Seduction of the Innocent de Fredric Wertham, de la commission menée par le sénateur Estes Kefauver, et du magistrat Charles F. Murphy, les comic books se retrouvent au centre de l'attention comme grands responsables de la déchéance de la jeunesse qui sombre peu à peu dans la criminalité. Bien avant que l'on accuse le Heavy Metal, les Jeux de Rôles ou le Jeu Vidéo de transformer les adolescents en créatures immorales et sanguinaires, les comics ont fait l'objet d'une campagne de désinformation menée par des politiques, des intellectuels et des religieux adeptes de raccourcis faciles et préférant s'en prendre à l'art plutôt que de regarder en face l'échec d'un système qu'ils entretiennent pour préserver leur petit confort. Ainsi, alors que l'on assiste dans plusieurs états à des autodafés durant lesquels d'honnêtes citoyens détruisent les comics qui pervertissent leurs enfants, il est décidé en 1954 de mettre en place la Comics Code Authority, un organisme d'autorégulation visant limiter les dérives des publications destinées à la jeunesse. Le Code impose dès lors de nombreuses règles aux bandes dessinées publiées par les éditeurs américains, parmi lesquelles l'interdiction de représenter le crime ou tout autre activité illégale sous un jour favorable, de ne jamais encourager le lecteur à remettre en question l'autorité en place, ou bien encore l'obligation de toujours faire triompher le bien face au mal. Ces grands principes s'accompagnent d'une large censure des thèmes abordés et des images pouvant être montrées : le Code interdit le sexe, la nudité, les scènes gores, la violence excessive, la torture, le cannibalisme, les morts-vivants, les vampires, les loups-garous, ainsi que tout ce qui est jugé “contre-nature” ou “anormal” à l'époque, comme l'homosexualité ou toute forme de fétichisme. De plus, plus aucun magazine ne pourra utiliser les mots “Horror” ou “Terror” dans son titre. Le respect de ces règles assure aux publications de pouvoir porter sur leur couverture le sceau “Approved by the Comics Code Authority“, et ainsi d'avoir la possibilité d'être distribuées en toute légalité, là où une bande dessinée dépourvue du célèbre logo risquait tout bonnement d'être refusée par les kiosques et ainsi de représenter une perte considérable pour l'éditeur qui ne pouvait alors plus écouler ses stocks. Si dans un premier temps, on peut penser que certaines des règles du Comics Code sont plutôt bénéfiques et limitent les dérives, on comprend assez rapidement que beaucoup d'entre elles sont largement soumises à interprétation lors du passage des publications devant la commission. Et c'était d'autant plus vrai dans le cas de EC Comics, qui, entre ses histoires horrifiques en grande partie à l'origine de la polémique et le caractère bien trempé de Bill Gaines, avait tout pour être dans le viseur du juge Murphy. Aussi, lorsque la réimpression de Judgment Day fut présentée avant sa publication, Charles F. Murphy déclara à Feldstein que le héros ne pouvait en aucun cas être noir, et ça sans aucune justification. S'ensuivit une prise de bec musclée entre le juge, l'auteur et l'éditeur, à l'issue de laquelle EC Comics refusa catégoriquement de changer quoi que ce soit à l'histoire. Pour vous dire à quel point Murphy tenait à avoir gain de cause, incontestablement pour emmerder Gaines, il n'y a pas d'autre mot, et bien face à la détermination de ce dernier, il aurait demandé à ce que les gouttes de sueur présentes sur le visage du personnage principal soient retirées. Une exigence absolument surréaliste qui, une fois encore, ne peut absolument pas être justifiée par l'une des règles du Comics Code. L'histoire sera finalement republiée telle quelle, sans prendre en considération les objections de la CCA. Un acte fort qui signera également la fin d'une époque pour EC Comics. Weird ScienceLa vérité, c'est qu'il existe un sous-texte peu glorieux et typique du puritanisme américain au Comics Code. Si celui-ci demande à ce que les femmes soient représentées de manière réaliste et le moins sexualisées possible, c'est pour mieux en faire des demoiselles en détresse ou de sages ménagères attendant un providentiel héros masculin, de préférence blanc et bien viril. Car si le Comics Code interdit aussi toute forme de discrimination, la commission s'assure tout de même que chacun reste bien à sa place, dans un pays où la ségrégation est toujours en vigueur en 1956 et où il faut veiller à ne pas attiser les revendications sociales des afro-américains. En fait, la principale règle outrepassée implicitement par Judgment Day était certainement celle de ne pas contredire le pouvoir en place. Prôner l'égalité et la tolérance entre des robots, pourquoi pas, mais en mettant en scène un personnage principal qui aurait lui-même était la cible de discriminations à l'époque, EC Comics va trop loin pour la Comics Code Authority. Bien avant que Stan Lee ne défie le Code en publiant une histoire traitant du problème de la drogue chez les jeunes dans les pages de Spider-Man, ou que le Swamp Thing d'Alan Moore ne s'affranchisse définitivement de l'estampille de la CCA, William Gaines et Al Feldstein ont été des précurseurs et EC Comics en a payé le prix. En ne se pliant pas aux règles imposées, l'éditeur s'est mis dans une situation très délicate qui l'obligera à abandonner la publication de comic books pour se concentrer sur des périodiques au format magazine échappant à la censure du Comics Code, dont le plus célèbre reste sans conteste MAD. Un triste sort qui rappelle pourtant le rôle majeur de la fiction, en l'occurrence de la science-fiction, et l'importance d'un art populaire accessible au plus grand nombre dans l'évolution des mentalités. De Victor Hugo à Star Trek, en passant par la Doom Patrol ou même The Witcher, chaque œuvre porte un message qui reflète les préoccupations de son temps. Qu'il s'agisse de conflits sociaux, de l'acceptation de la différence, ou de la nécessité d'une prise de conscience collective, ces thématiques parfois bien cachées pèsent pourtant bien plus qu'on ne pourrait le croire dans l'amélioration de notre quotidien quand les œuvres en question touchent des millions de personnes. Pour l'anecdote, et pour comprendre à quel point la science-fiction a encore du travail, il faudra attendre 1983 pour que Guion Bluford devienne le premier astronaute afro-américain à aller dans l'espace. Soit 14 ans après qu'on ait marché sur la Lune. Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur EC Comics et sur cette histoire, je vous recommande de jeter un oeil au livre EC Comics : Race, Shock & Social Protest de Qiana Whitted, qui m'a été très utile pour l'écriture de cet article.
