Episode 24 - Murdock and Marvel: 1986 Part 2 If you are every arguing with friends about what was the best year in the history of comics, you could do worse than arguing for 1986. With a ton of interesting independent books, vibrant small-press publishers popping up everywhere, and four of the most beloved stories in the history of comics, '86 was definitely a banner year! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1986. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #226-237, Spectacular Spider-Man #110, Amazing Spider-Man #277, Marvel Age Annual #2, Avengers Annual #15, Marvel Fanfare #27, Elektra: Assassin #1 and 4, Marvel Saga the Official History #13, and Marvel Graphic Novel: Daredevil Love and War Writing credits: Frank Miller and Denny O'Neil (226), Frank Miller (227-233), Mark Gruenwald (234), Danny Fingeroth (235), Ann Nocenti (236), “John Harkness” (237) Pencilers: David Mazzucchelli (226-233), Steve Ditko (234-235), Barry Windsor-Smith (236), Lois Williams (237) Inks: Dennis Janke (226), David Mazzucchelli (227-233), Klaus Jansen (234), Danny Bulanadi (235), Windsor-Smith and Bob Wiacek (236), Al Williamson and Bulandi (237) The year begins Frank Miller returning to the title and a story where Daredevil helps Gladiator save Betsy Beatty after confronting him stealing from a museum Next, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli start an iconic run of books that you've probably heard of “Born Again” that starts with book 227 and finishes with 233. This incredible will be the spotlight for this week. After Born Again, we get four stand-alone stories by four different writers to finish out the year. The first against a weird “hero” named Mad Cap who spouts nonsense and seemly can't be killed. Next Daredevil takes on Mr. Hyde yet again. Then Daredevil and the Black Widow team up to track down another deranged member of the Super Soldier Project. Finally, Daredevil takes on the Klaw who's looking to re-establish himself by taking him down. Issue #237 was initially going to be the start of Steve Engelhart's run on DD, but he was replaced by Ann Nocenti after writing just one issue, which he had his name taken off of, and the pen name “John Harkness” was credited Daredevil: Love and War GN told the story of how the Kingpin kidnapped a psychiatrist's wife to coerce him to help his wife, who was not recovering well from her accident and her captivity in the sewers. By the end of the story we find out Vanessa only wants to escape from Fisk, and he sends her away to Europe with the doctor and his wife so she can heal and start a new life. Elektra: Assassin is completely batshit. Fully painted by Bill S., it is wildly experimental and confusing. Elektra and a cyborg who is obsessed with her try to stop a presidential candidate who looks kind of like Dan Quayle from doing the will of “the beast” and causing a nuclear holocaust. New Powers, Toys or Places New Supporting Characters New Villains This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #227 February 1986 “Apocalypse” through Daredevil #233 August 1986 “Armageddon” Recap Why We Picked This Story The Takeaway It was the Best of Times, but it led to the Worst of Times. 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! 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.

For the first DBB episode of 2024 (and season 4), we're joined by the workhorse editor of DC, Mr. Mike Carlin! Mike started at DC way back in 1974 as a high school intern, before becoming an assistant editor under Mark Gruenwald at Marvel. But he made perhaps his biggest mark as the Superman group editor, where he orchestrated big changes for the Man of Steel, including the triangle numbering across titles, the Death and Return of Superman storylines, and the introduction of new books and characters. He was later promoted to executive editor at DC and went on to oversee DC's robust slate of animated films. Recently retired, Mike spills his guts to the Bandits about his career and life in comics!You can follow Mike on Facebook, especially in the Triangle Era of Superman fan group._____________________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.

"Dapper" Dave Sim and Manly Matt Dow return, once again, for their Monthly phone chat that Manly records and edits together and posts here. We call it Please Hold For Dave Sim. In the April 2023 Please Hold, Dave and Matt discuss: Can Matt refer to a Strong. Independent. Female. As a... "broad" (Manly sez: "Dude, she invites four underage dudes to move in with her within hours of first meeting them. Broad is one of the NICEST terms I could use...") Dave remembers Cerebus Fan, Jeff Seiler. A BIG "Thank You!" to the 608 people who gave $88,508 to fund The Waverly Press & Aardvark-Vanaheim's Remaster of Eastman & Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Number Eight Featuring Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark. Thank you, again. Manly let's YOU, yes, YOU! know that if you missed out on The Waverly Press & Aardvark-Vanaheim's Remaster of Eastman & Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Number Eight Featuring Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark, you gots the 2nd chance thanks to the The Waverly Press & Aardvark-Vanaheim's Remaster of Eastman & Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Number Eight Featuring Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark Indiegogo campaign. An announcement that "Mistakes were made." regarding the Remastered The Last Day. And Manly christens the new version "The Last Void". (See, the spine reads "Form & Void", even though it's the Remastered The Last Day, as we said, "Mistakes were made." It's either "The Last Void", or "Form & Day"...) Dave announces the beginnings of a plan to sell copies of the Remastered The Last Day, Signed by Dave AND Gerhard, with a Last Day Cerebus head sketch Remarque in silver on the cover by Dave, on CerebusDownloads.com for the low low price of $XXXCAD (we're still working out the price. BUT, the first Day will have a discount for loyal listeners/readers. More details as Dave and the Cerebus Braintrust make them up...) We take a "moment" (Heh.) to remind everyone that James Windsor-Smith has a Kickstarter for Papa Balloon and Cactus #2 WITH a Dave Sim Variant Cover. And JWS had me send stuff to Dave, and we talk around that... Dave answers the second (in a series of questions) from Adam J. Elkhadem, creator of Octave the Artist. Then Dave discusses Frank Thorne at the request of Travis H. Mike Sewall wants to know about Remastered Diamondback decks. Dave and Matt got answers...and memories. Dodger wants to know about CerebusTV. Dave and Matt have answers...and memories. John Gilsmann's question about the number 7 in The Strange Death of Alex Raymond. And somewhere in there Dave answers why he and Mark Gruenwald signed a copy of The Amazing Spider-Man #59 to "Jim". Boy howdy, that's some good Holdin'... See ya next month when we do it all again...

In preparation for his appearance in the MCU's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, we are exploring the complicated history of Kang the Conqueror (and Rama-Tut, Scarlet Centurion, Immortus, etc). We start with Kang's first appearance back in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Avengers #8 before visiting (for the first time) Mark Gruenwald's zine Omniverse. We time travel to 1986 for our first "multiverse" that's really the 616 (with a brief stop in Earth 267) as we are introduced to a Council of Kangs bent on destroying each other (and the Avengers). We wrap up by discussing Jonathan Major's performance on the Loki television show and what lies ahead for the character in the MCU. We also chat Kang vs. Doctor Doom, the brief time Storm and Colossus were on the Avengers (kind of), and more.

We have some Galactastic issues of FF! John Byrne continues his tour of the big Kirby stories with a visit from Galactus! First we have to deal with some magic armor that has allowed a Roman soldier to preserve ancient Rome in a column just outside of Wakanda. You know, little stuff. But then it's Galactus, who is dying. Reed decides we gotta save him, which is a hot take.

Not a hoax! Not a dream! Dedicated comics coverage has returned to Place To Be Nation Pop at long last! Welcome to Traders of the Lost Arcs, a loving look back on the comics we love. In our inaugural episode, Tim Capel leads Shawn Kidd, Scott Shifflett, and Andy Atherton through the one that started it all: an infamous 1992 biweekly saga known as "Man & Wolf." Doesn't ring a bell? Perhaps you're familiar with the story by its more colloquial association - Cap-Wolf! In a nutshell, a simple missing persons case sees Captain America transformed into a werewolf! With guest stars galore, including Wolverine, Cable, and basically every canine-adjacent character in the whole damned Marvel Universe. PLUS: palace intrigue with Diamondback and Crossbones (aka "What the hell is a back-up story?"), Cap's cast of missing friends, the protracted adventures of D-Man and Bernie in the park, and the INSANE origins of Dr. Druid! Far from a mere back-issue review, we analyze not only the story itself, but the context in which it was published. How exciting was it being a comics fan in 1992? What else was on the spinner rack at the same time? WHY did this see print? Plus, we heap praise on the writing talents of the late Mark Gruenwald and have... questions about those of artist Rik Levins. Enjoy this first time outing wherein Andy learns comics, Shiff exudes patience, and Shawn changes his mind! It's a wild kick-off to our monthly comics adventures! On this episode: Captain America vol. 1 #402-408. Read along with us via Marvel Unlimited at https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/1996/captain_america_1968_-_1996.

For this episode of Dear Watchers, an omniverse comic book podcast, we are joined by Catherine Schuller Gruenwald, the late wife and legacy advocate of legendary Marvel Comics writer and editor Mark Gruenwald who coined the term “omniverse”. Follow Catherine Schuller Gruenwald's work on Instagram, Facebook or at cosplayrunway.com. Cat shares Mark's journey from fan to creator to Editor-In-Chief, how his approach to comics was “Monty Python meets Joseph Campbell”, the ways that Mark anticipated Marvel's transition to film and how Mark's Bronze Age Marvel Comics bullpen was the zaniest, silliest place you can imagine. Cat also discusses her own work bringing cosplay to the runway and how she is keeping Mark's memory alive through her new creepy, cool, collectible and controversial “ashograph” series. Listen to an edited interview with Cat wherever you get your podcasts. For the full, unedited interview with Cat plus an overview of Mark's seminal works (45 minutes of bonus material!), become a subscriber for as little as $3 at DearWatchers.com and on our OMNIVERSITY bonus podcast feed.Mark Gruenwald was a comic book writer, editor, manager, teacher, academic, researcher, sometime penciller, comedian, creator, and all around legendary human being with us until his death in 1996. Marvel series that Mark edited included The Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, The Mighty Thor, Spider-Woman and seminal issues of What If. He was the co-creator of both The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and Marvel's first limited series, Contest of Champions. Mark is also known for his lengthy tenure writing Captain America (introducing such characters as US Agent and Crossbones) and his seminal 12-issue run on Squadron Supreme. Catherine Schuller Gruenwald is a producer, fashion designer, artist, teacher, comedian, and former plus-size model, dedicated to fostering greater diversity and inclusion on the runway and in fashion as the founder of COSMODA: The Cosplay Runway, an event showcasing a signature brand of “Cosplay Couture” at events such as New York Fashion Week. Following Mark's untimely passing, Cat has become his legacy advocate, contributing to multiple articles about his work, adding to collected editions, organizing panels at multiple events and presenting yearly celebrations titled Mark Gruenwald Day in his native Oshkosh, WI.

The Milksops begin their coverage of Mark Gruenwald's most famous work, the 12-issue "Squadron Supreme" mini-series from 1985. It's the OTHER comic where a bunch of heroes who are not in the normal comics continuity have to deal with a realistic world (the primary one from this time in comics being Alan Moore's Watchmen). We get into the huge cast, the Squadron's history up until this point, the gutsiness of Gruenweld's story, the surprises, and also the shortcomings (perhaps TOO "regular comics" for its subject, maybe a bit rushed?) as well as the inevitable comparison to Alan Moore's great work. Defying expectations, we even answer a few pieces of mail. __ SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: ScrewItComics@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify

Festive Clay Snuffling Hello, and welcome to episode 361 of The Fantasticast. Each episode, Steve Lacey guides you through every issue, guest-appearance and cameo of The Fantastic Four. This week, the Fantasticast hits a new milestone - the first comic covered twice by the show. We looked at Marvel Two-in-One #74 almost an entire decade ago, and it's time to look at it in context of the run, and see if Steve has worked out just who the people at the party really are. Except that Steve isn't doing this along. Joining him for a thoroughly unseasonal Christmas bash is returning guest host Stacey Taylor. Host of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlor, Stace and Barry In The Morning, and new show Never Seen, Stace is back and delightful as ever. Together, they examine a unusual Christmas tale, as childlike wizards and bovine nannies meet the holiday spirit. Mark Gruenwald, Frank Springer, Chic Stone, George Roussos, Michael Higgins, Bob Budiansky, and Jim Salicrup present Marvel Two-in-One #74 - A Christmas Peril, featuring parole, a guy with a big face and a lack of talent, all of the swears, uncensored smut, and... hold on, that's the hosts! In addition, Steve takes a quick peak at Avengers #206, as he forgot to do it last time. Fantasticast guest-host Christine Hanefalk has published her first book. Being Matt Murdock: One Fan's Journey Into The Science of Daredevil is now available as both a book and an e-book from Amazon. Do go and check it out!
