Podcasts about regrettable supervillains

Thanks to Quirk Books, Gabe had the awesome opportunity to speak with Jon Morris, for an awesome interview about a few of Jon's books!! The focus was on The League of Regrettable Sidekicks, but Jon did also put together The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains, and The League of Regrettable Superheroes, all of which we get to ask about!! Jon tells us all about the selection process of all of these books, and how many they all start with! Speaking of the Regrettable Sidekicks, we also get to learn about Jon's favorite group, that he included in the book. He wanted to try and get it through, that "Regrettable" is actually not a bad thing for these sidekicks, villains, and superheroes, but it speaks more to the regrettable circumstances that they entered into existence! This is a really funny interview, that you won't want to miss! Remember, you can ALWAYS let us know what you think! We can only think of so many things to talk about every other week, and would LOVE to get some feedback and ideas from all of you out there who are listening!!

Time Codes: 00:01:17 - Introduction 00:02:59 - Setup of interview 00:05:14 - Interview with Jon Morris 01:15:03 - Wrap up 01:17:05 - Contact us Jon Morris is back, once again, on The Comics Alternative, to share his research and sense of humor. His latest book The League of Regrettable Sidekicks (Quirk Books) is the follow up to his previous two works, The League of Regrettable Superheroes and The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains. In the spirit of the previous books, this one is a revealing and good-natured look at some of the strange creations making up comic-book history, figures that may be unknown or  completely forgotten by most enthusiasts. And perhaps for good reason. Also like the earlier works, Jon divides his survey into three temporal categories: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the Modern Age. Sterg and Derek have a fun time talking about the weirdness of this collection, their favorite "regrettable" sidekicks and henchmen, and their wonderment at how such figures made it into four colors. They also talk with Jon about his other work and future projects, including his own comics work. See where it all started! Visit Jon's blog, Gone and Forgotten, and get the inside scoop on retro comicdom! And if you're a Columbo fan, check out his sleuthy podcast, Just One More Thing.  

In part two of Regrettable Villains we discuss Animal, Vegetable, Mineral Man, He-She, MODOK and more.  Every hero needs a villain. But not every villain comes with a cool costume, sinister pseudonym, or functioning death ray. Some super-crooks are incompetent, some are comical, and some are just . . . weird. In this follow-up to The League of Regrettable Superheroes, author Jon Morris presents over a hundred of the strangest, most stupefying supervillains ever to grace the pages of comics. Meet D-list desperados like Brickbat (choice of weapon: poisonous bricks), Swarm (a crook made of bees; Nazi bees), Robbing Hood (steals from the poor to give to the rich), plus a surprising number of law-breaking apes. Drawing on the entire history of the medium, The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains affectionately and hilariously profiles the oddeset oddballs in comic book history.
