Podcasts about marvel uk

In this episode, we roll out with Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman, the legendary minds behind the original Transformers comics from Marvel and Marvel UK respectively. With Skybound's massive compendiums reigniting interest in both series, we dive deep into how a Japanese toy line transformed into a pop culture juggernaut. Bob shares how Transformers first landed on his desk at Marvel and the challenges of writing 50+ issues while constantly introducing new characters. Simon discusses navigating the complexities of fitting UK stories around US continuity and eventually taking over the US title himself. Together, they reflect on their favorite characters, what made Transformers such a lasting property, and the creative synergy—and surprises—between their respective runs. It's a must-listen for fans who want to go beyond the robots in disguise and hear the human stories behind the mythos.  Skybound's Compendium Set Kickstarter campaign goes until May 7, so be sure to back it here before time runs out: http://kck.st/4i3ts31.Support the show

Send us a textBRYAN HITCH IN CONVERSATION. Welcome to our first podcast of 2025! I'm thrilled to have an old friend and neighbor, the renowned comic book artist and creator Bryan Hitch, join me for this episode. I've known Bryan for about 36 years, and it was fantastic to reconnect with him. I've always admired his work, so it was a pleasure to chat about his journey—from growing up in Carlisle to starting his career with Marvel UK. We delve into the inspiration behind his iconic Nick Fury in Marvel's The Ultimates, which played a significant role in shaping the MCU. We also discuss how he designed the Doctor's TARDIS back in 2005 when the show made its comeback, as well as his exciting new collaboration, Redcoat, with Geoff Johns. We cover various topics, including his work in film, and it was truly a joy to have Bryan on the show. I can't wait to have him back again soon!So, sit back and enjoy our first episode of the year—it's a real treat.

Boo and Evan tackle the lore dense Marvel UK Annual number 1, but since its a chunk of stories this will be just part 1 of 3. You all know how much they ramble on already, this would've gone on for 3 hours, easily. For the first time in a bit we take a break from the Dinobots, so they can do their own thing, but we get treated to some "Real World Factors" as the Autobots meet a very influential person of power from the time that they woke up on Earth. Guess who that is? Yeah, I forgot to say soilers in the title.

Boo and Evan conclude the storyline that includes the Dinobots dealing with Guardian and the remnants of what Shockwave and the Decepticons left the Autobots to deal with in the Ark.

Boo finally drags Evan through the valley of Nell Yomtov to enjoy the beautiful...yet weirdly proportioned issue #31 of the Marvel UK books titled, "No More Mr Nice Guy!" I mean, who doesn't like seeing the nerds and the jocks work together to not die?

What's up, dudes? Remember GI Joe? This real American hero was developed by Stan Weston and licensed and produced by Hasbro in 1963. They even coined the phrase “action figure” to help market the toys to boys. In 1966, the British toy company Palitoy licensed GI Joe and created their version: Action Man. Action Man was primarily developed with British military themes in mind. To set themselves apart, Palitoy even developed flocked hair and gripping hands, though of course they eventually crossed over to the GI Joe line. Consequently, time kills most toy lines, and sales dwindled until GI Joe relaunched itself in 1982 with 3 ¾ inch figures to compete with Kenner's Star Wars figures. To keep up, Palitoy rebranded Action Man as Action Force, a mixture of international soldiers and specialists from Britain, Germany, Australia, and, of course, America. In ‘83 they were given file cards and character profiles and even had their own comic strip, Battle Action Force! Action Force battled the terrorist organization Red Shadows led by Baron Ironblood. Meanwhile, the Action Force toyline branched out into video games, audio stories on cassette tapes, stationery, and even toiletries. In ‘85, however, Alfred Pallett passed away, and Hasbro bought out Palitoy, including their factory, copyrights, and molds. Basically they just produced GI Joe figures under the Action Force name. In fact, Action Force even began fighting Cobra rather than Red Shadows. Even the cartoon was retitled and re-dubbed as Action Force with its own theme song! In ‘86, the Battle Action Force comic strip was canceled, and Marvel UK began publishing a weekly comic in ‘87. Action Force #43 from Dec 26, 1987 includes a Christmas story entitled "Silent Night." The snow may be deep and crisp and even inside the Norwegian arctic circle, but the Christmas celebrations turn a little sour for Footloose and Frostbite when a squad of Cobra snow serpents come visiting — and they aren't there for a kiss under the mistletoe! Explosions? Check. Harsh weather condition battles? Got 'em. Plum pudding MREs? Definitely! So grab your laser rifles, hop on your Snow Cat, and defeat Cobra with this episode!Give us a buzz!

Boo and Evan hit part 2 of "Decepticon Dam Busters" with a flourish of laughter and bewilderment. Evan embraces those Soundwaves and Boo gives us a sneak peak of G2 Mirage!

Boo and Evan check the bookmark and get back into the Marvel UK comics with "Decepticon Dam Busters!" Ratchet has to explain to the Dinobots why they're the good guys, and not scaring humans.

Boo and Evan finish out the story arc that introduces the original brute squad, The Dinobots! Ratchet shows Megatron that he is more than just a medic, much more...than meets the eye (sorry, couldn't help it). What good is a story without some naivety and some double-crossing?

Boo and Evan find out what's next for the beleaguered Ratchet as he travels to The Savage Land, land that Magneto loves to use on occasion. He's got big plans for the lost Dinobots, and we'll see how they defeated the fierce Shockwave. Megatron is seemingly a very good soldier for Shockwave as well.

Boo and Evan review episode 25 of the Marvel UK books, which is a port of the American issue, with a few key differences. The guys are starting something new in this issue, splitting the Transformers content from the other content, like Machine Man, Planet Terry, and others.

Boo and Evan devour another episode of the Marvel UK Transformers comic that shows an amazingly cool G B Blackrock and a vicious Josie Beller using surplus GI Joe helicopters protecting themselves from Shockwave, who is trying to take Blackrock's oil platform for himself.

Marvel UK #23 is a continuation of the Marvel US #5, so you just know Evan is gonna complain about the art. He doesn't disappoint, or maybe he does. Still, he shakes fist in air and curses the name YOMTOV!!! Boo carries on his even tempered appreciation of Machine Man, wait...he doesn't? Oh man, X-51 is running out of fans.Also, check out friend of the show Jim's new podcast on Beast Wars with his old pal Mike!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tv-show-show/id1755607013If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you'd like to toss a buck or more per episode, we'd adore and say nice things about you.

Thanks for listening. Drop a like, subscribe, follow...all that. It's appreciated.

Boo and Evan get into the UK issue 22, which os the American #5 first half. Things are bleak for the Autobots AND Decepticons and Machine Man is all upset just cause his face melted.

Boo and Evan are finally finishing out the final story arc before they go back to the Marvel US run. Raiders of the Last Ark has been a fun journey, but its time has come and gone. This is a point where the American and UK books converge. Oh!

Boo and Evan jump into the ultimate buddy comedy where an Autobot and a Decepticon stop being polite, and start getting real. This is the issue that we start into "we're not all that different" territory with Ravage and Windcharger trying to save the day when all other hope is lost. Also, there's some Chromobots....and Machine Man finishes off the Madame Menace storyline, we hope, as well as the Alpha Flight squad. Planet Terry is kind of enjoyable though!Also, check out friend of the show Jim's new podcast on Beast Wars with his old pal Mike!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tv-show-show/id1755607013If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you'd like to toss a buck or more per episode, we'd adore and say nice things about you.

Welp, old Ops and Megs have done gotten themselves in a whole heap of trouble. Boo and Evan continue through the weirdly paced Raiders of The Last Ark with part 2. Of course there is also Chromobots, which seems to be getting slightly better, but Machine Man and his weird Juggalette groupie are just not knowing when to say goodbye. Planet Terry is here and it gets a little weird too.Also, check out friend of the show Jim's new podcast on Beast Wars with his old pal Mike!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tv-show-show/id1755607013If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you'd like to toss a buck or more per episode, we'd adore and say nice things about you.

Panini issues 1-9 Simon Furman gets the band back together in today's episode, where we're taking a look at the surprisingly high-effort Transformers Armada comic published by Panini Comics (née Marvel UK). We talk Earthforce vibes and activity pages before we're joined by Stuart, who tells us all about Andrew Wildman oversharing and the worst game of Guess Who ever. Plus, we look at a little-known prequel comic to the PS2 Armada video game!   Follow the podcast on Twitter: @OurWorldsPod Stuart: @InflatableDalek The Solar Pool: https://thesolarpool.weebly.com/ Wadapan: @TheWadapan Jolene: @SJ_Broadside Podcast art by Claudia: @ActualSkullgrin

Boo and Evan have completed the first story arc of Simon Furman's delve into the Marvel Transformers book and go right into the story, "Raiders of the Last Ark." The story seems to be setting up the ultimate US Marvel cover with "Are All Dead." But...there seems to be a distinct lack of Transformers in the UK comic, but never too little Machine Man. At least its more enjoyable?If you'd like to contact the guys, they'd love to hear from you!Edhatestransformers@gmail.comMorethanmeetstheseguys@gmail.com@mtmtgpod on Twitterhttps://www.facebook.com/MoreThanMeetsTheseGuys/https://discord.gg/sKr8jwaAvhIf you'd like to toss a buck or more per episode, we'd adore and say nice things about you.

Andres joins Boo and Evan this week to conclude "The Enemy Within" story arc, written by Simon Furman.

On today's episode, I talk to seven-times New York Times bestselling author and award-winning comic book writer Dan Abnett. Originally from Maidstone, Dan began working in the editorial department of Marvel UK before starting to write his own comics. Dan's CV is too extensive to cover here, but a highlights reel includes his incredible work for 2000 AD, which includes comics such as Sinister Dexter and Brink, his revamp of the Guardians of the Galaxy with writing partner Andy Lanning, which became the basis for the MCU films, his work with Lanning on The Authority, Warhammer 40K, and my personal favorite, his Wild's End books, which are some of the best comics I've read in forever!

INTERVIEW: Like many of his peers coming up in comics in late 80s across the pond, Mike Collins fell in with the Marvel UK crew, drawing the likes of Spider-Man, Transformers, Doctor Who and Zoids. Of course, no UK comics career is complete without work on 2000 A.D., so you'll find his work there too. But things really took off when Mike moved to the US in the 90s, where he tackled many of DC's heavy hitters, like Superman, Batman, Teen Titans and Justice League. He only did a bit more work for Marvel (such as on Gambit's first appearance in Uncanny X-Men) but made a name for himself doing tie-in comics for TV and movie projects. Mike has also worked as a storyboard artist and currently contributes to Doctor Who Magazine. _____________________Dollar Bin Bandits is the official podcast of TwoMorrows Publishing.

All hail the King of Fonts! That's right, Richard Starkings is in the hot seat today, answering all of our questions about lettering, font design, Marvel UK, Comicraft, Doctor Who, and his Elephantmen universe. Richard got into comics in his native UK, where he started lettering for 2000 AD, Warrior, and various Marvel UK titles. After moving stateside, he founded Comicraft, a lettering and design company that works with all the major publishers. His original creation, Hip Flask, was born out of an advertisement for Comicraft and soon had its own series of one-shot specials. Then came the ongoing prequel series Elephantmen, which continues to this day.  You can find the writer, editor, and letterer on Twitter and Instagram @RichStarkings._____________________Dollar Bin Bandits is the official podcast of TwoMorrows Publishing.

Get ready for a two-part Mike on the Mic adventure with the one and only Liam Sharp! Roaming power outages couldn't stop this interview from rolling on, and we still only get to a fraction of the artist/writer's career. We start in London with early work at 2000 AD and Marvel UK, where he first popped onto the mainstream radar with the Death's Head II mini-series. He parlayed this into stateside stints on major Marvel books like Venom: The Mace, Incredible Hulk, and Man-Thing. After 14 issues on Spawn: The Dark Ages, he took a turn away from mainstream superheroes with the Wildstorm series The Possessed, the anthology Event Horizon and the Vertigo title Testament. Later, he co-founded the digital comics company Madefire, but returned to traditional comics recently with The Green Lantern (Seasons 1 & 2) and his Image masterwork Stonehenge. You can follow Liam at his site, sharpy.net, on Twitter @LiamRSharp, and on Instagram @liamsharpofficial. _____________________________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.

Breaking in with Marvel UK and 2000 AD (the one-two punch for many British comics creators), artist Barry Kitson has enjoyed a long and influential career. You may know him from Transformers (with past guest Simon Furman),  his early DC work on L.E.G.I.O.N. and Azrael, or from the classic JLA: Year One (with writers Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn). He reteamed with Waid on Empire, a fantastic, underrated series about a supervillain who actually conquered the world. It started at the Image imprint Gorilla Comics, but was completed at DC. Since then, he's been a steady presence at DC and Marvel, penciling everything from The Titans and Legion of Super-Heroes to the Amazing Spider-Man and The Order.  You can follow Barry on all the socials: @BarryKitsonArt.__________________________________________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.
