Ralph Macchio spent over four decades at Marvel Comics, serving as a writer, editor, and eventually Executive Editor during some of the company's most transformative periods. Beginning his career in the 1970s as an assistant to Roy Thomas, Ralph went on to edit many of Marvel's flagship titles including Daredevil, Thor, and The Avengers, overseeing Frank Miller's revolutionary run on Daredevil, Walter Simonson's legendary work on Thor, and collaborating with legendary artists like John Buscema on Conan the Barbarian. In addition to his editorial work, Ralph wrote for several titles including Master of Kung Fu and Marvel Two-in-One. Throughout our conversation, Ralph shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from Marvel's history, offered insights into the evolution of the comic book industry from the Bronze Age through the modern era, and reflected on working with some of comics' greatest creators. Though largely retired from regular comic work now, Ralph occasionally contributes to special projects and historical retrospectives that draw on his unparalleled experience in the industry.

¡Hombre Araña! ¡Hombre Araña! ¡Tu Amigable Vecino El Hombre Araña! Marvel Studios Animation recientemente lanzó la primera temporada de la nueva serie animada del arácnido, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, que explora los comienzos de la carrera superheroica de Peter Parker en un universo que se parece un poco al MCU, pero que al final no es. En este programa hacemos la RE: seña de esta serie, que mezcla elementos modernos con inspiraciones visuales de los dos artistas más clásicos de Spidey, su co-creador Steve Ditko, y quien lo sucedió, John Romita padre. Después, ya que estábamos en la onda "inicios de Spidey", reseñamos varios comics viejos con comienzos del personaje. Empezamos por su debut en Amazing Fantasy #15 (por Steve Ditko y Stan Lee) y el primer número de su propia serie, Amazing Spider-Man, ambas de 1962 y del mismo equipo creativo (Steve Ditko y Stan Lee). Seguimos por los primeros dos números del primer volumen de Marvel Team-Up (1971/1972, por Roy Thomas, Gerry Comway, y Ross Andru), con un Spider-Man que ya tiene algunos años de actividad, pero haciendo sus primeras colaboraciones importantes con su amigo Human Torch. Para terminar, cubrimos los dos primeros números de Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995, por Kurt Busiek y Pat Olliffe), una serie con historias retroactivamente ubicadas en los primeros años de actividad del trepamuros. Con música de The Math Club con Relaye y Melo Makes Music (sampleando a Paul Francis Webster y Bob Harris), Within The Ruins, y Weezer. Próximo programa: Tres comics rioplatenses, Tango Pulp / Nonfata / El Cronista.

It's time once again for our annual ho-ho-holiday episode and this year, we're talking about the classic first issue of Marvel Team-Up #1 from 1972, in which Spider-Man and The Human Torch go up against -- who else -- the Sandman, in the aptly titled "Have Yourself A Sandman Little Christmas."It's a fun story, set against the backdrop of Christmas in New York City in the early 70s, written by Roy Thomas, with art by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. It's always fun going back to the Marvel age of comics, back during a time when a single issue comic could tell a complete story with fun, plenty of action, and heroes cracking wise and trying to crack the villain's plans.Will Spidey and the Torch vanquish the Sandman and get some holiday spirit? LIsten to this podcast and find out!Your ho-ho-hosts are Brad Page and Chris Karam.Happy Holidays to one and all!

Under the cover of a full moon, we shed a light on Jack Russell, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT! How many Warren Zevon references do we fit into this episode? Listen now to find out! Intro Apologies for delays in episodes - Doc and I going thru stuff (separately) Reminder that Shenanicon registration is now open - still no word on exact date & time of Baccano panel Background (3:13) Jack Russell, Werewolf by Night, created by Roy Thomas, Jeanie Thomas, Gerry Conway, & Mike Ploog in Marvel Spotlight #2 (Feb. 1972) Jacob Russoff is the son of Gregor Russoff, a Transylvanian baron whose ancestor was bitten by a werewolf working for Vlad Dracula in 1795 Gregor acquired the Darkhold and read it, triggering the latent curse and turning him into a werewolf - after he was killed, his wife Laura moved to America and remarried her brother-in-law Phillip Russell, and Jacob became Jack Russell Jack's curse took effect on his 18th birthday, and shortly thereafter his family's driver sabotaged his mother's car to crash under Phillip's orders - before her death she told Jack the truth about his heritage and made him promise not to take revenge on Phillip (no promise was made about the driver, though…) Spent most of the next few years on the run from the Committee, who wanted to capture him and use him for their own purposes - among the many people hired by the Committee was Moon Knight, who defeated Jack before having a change of heart and teaming up with Jack to escape Spends a chunk of the 80s on a motorcycle driving around the country - after a battle with the Hulk, his father's spirit tells him he must accept his beastly nature or die; he does, and gains control over his transformation and abilities Unfortunately his control didn't last, and he began seeing visions of Hell during his transformations - this drove him to alcoholism and suicidal thoughts until he encountered a woman similarly afflicted and under siege by a small town - they killed the leaders and agreed to help each other live free He was given a vaccine by Michael Morbius that helped him regain control, and he joined the Midnight Sons - his new mindset was that of acceptance, and he was determined to find other “monsters” around the world and help them the way he had been helped - this includes Rahne Sinclair's son, who she rejected because the child was feral He had his head blown off by Deadpool after Wade found him in bed with his wife - he survived, but it took some time for his head to grow back Issues - Theme is “a sheep in wolf's clothing” (7:46) Finally reached an acceptance of his werewolf nature, even if the world hasn't Formerly suicidal alcoholic (14:10) A drifter who's unattached to any one place for too long (24:28) Break (32:12) Plugs for I Am Your Target Demographic and Hops Geek News Treatment In-universe - Treat yo self Out of universe - Focus on the addiction issues first, and then work on the other things Skit (41:40) Hello Jack, I'm Dr. Issues. - Hi. Man, I could have used you a long time ago. *pause* Thaaanks? So, what can I do for you…now? - Just hear me out. I've hesitated to do any therapy because I didn't think anyone would listen. Oh, so my reputation precedes me. -You never answered my calls or emails. I can be scant in my availability, yes. But that should be a deterrent, right?. -Every review I read said that you are the most patient psychiatrist they've ever met, but you're hard to track. I like that. Maybe you can tolerate my story. My goal is more than tolerance. I want patients to thrive. But sometimes you have to crawl, then walk, then run. -You got that right! So I did my homework. I know this is confidential as long as I'm not a threat, right? Yup. -Well, what if I told you that there's only a certain number of nights where I was a threat, but I kept everyone safe with an airtight plan? Makes sense, right? I guess -*interrupting* and what if I told you that I even went so far as to meditate to harness my rage in a form that was productive. Are you with me? Is this a metaphor for male menopause or -*interrupts again* Heck man, I even found a, uh, “alternative healer” to basically cure me. This is some wild stuff, huh? You sound like an infomercial right now. What is your angle? Are you trying to promote some woo-woo healthy positivity or what? I'm confused. You're way more upbeat than I thought you'd be. I just scrolled through your emails -Better late than never *Interrupting* No wonder I blew you off. You sent me an autobiography that reads like Ann Rice decided to make out with Kafka. -*pause* So a bit melodramatic? Therapy is supposed to be more than just venting. You say you have all of these tools to…wow this is long…survive with lycanthropy?! You could have just said “I'm a werewolf.” -Well you always use those vocab words in your writing so I was trying to match you. And how dare you try to shame a patient. I've come a long way, you know! No shame, no blame. Just…*sigh* I get this a lot. You want to connect on a human level. That's awesome. I'm impressed, because you're clearly putting the proper energy into this. But there IS a way to swing too far on that pendulum. I want to be your trusted professional, but I'm not your buddy. There's a difference. Let's focus on your accomplishments so far, since that's your focus out of the gate. -Cool! First off, I survived a family that sometimes turned feral. Lots of reconciliation. Great. -I am on the sober path. Wonderful. -I can live in my own skin…and fur. Check. -No, further east than that. Huh? -Nevermind, bad joke. Not rushin ya -Huh? Even worse joke. -*snaps fingers* You DO have a bright side.Anywho, what I'm trying to say is, I don't have everything figured out. But I've taken care of the boulders. Now I need to take care of the smaller rocks, the pebbles…you get it? Yup. Much better clarity. I'll take you on as a patient under one condition -No werewolf? How'd you guess? -Just a hunch. Oh, and here's my local pharmacy. I don't think you need a prescription -It's the only one I know willing to incorporate silver compounds. *pause* Welp, that's either a dark backup plan, or the wickedest joke of this encounter. *simultaneously* WHY NOT BOTH?

Cary Gordon (Metal Geeks Podcast / Comicpalooza Podcast Manager) join us to break down these four comic issues. We go over the story, reveal lots of FTOOM Fast Facts, and share what these comics have meant to us and the greater Star Wars universe over 45 years. Comics discussed: Star Wars Issue #7: New Planets/New Perils Star Wars Issue #8: Eight for Aduba-3 Star Wars Issue #9: Showdown on a Wasteland World Star Wars Issue #10: The Behemoth from Below We recommend watching the video version (above) of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it. Story Synopsis: After the award ceremony on Yavin 4, Han Solo and Chewbacca head out to pay their debt to Jabba the Hutt when they're attacked by pirates led by Crimson Jack! With their reward money from the Rebel Alliance stolen, the smugglers decide to lay low on the planet Aduba-3. There, they take a job defending a moisture farmer from a local gang known as the Cloud-Riders. However, they can't defend the village alone so they hire several mercenaries, including Jaxxon! During the Cloud Rider attack, The Behemoth, a giant reptilian monster, is summoned and Han Solo may be the village's only hope for survival. This arc was written by Roy Thomas, Howard Chaykin, and Donald F. Glut.

Neil Gaiman's complete reinvention of DC's trademark on The Sandman is inarguably one of the most influential comics of the Iron Age…so why haven't we talked about it much yet? And why are we starting with the storyline that's popularly considered “Volume 2” of the series? We're focusing on the collection that introduced The Sandman to the bookshelf market (which originally included the landmark “The Sound of Her Wings” story) and marked an evolution in the comic from a horror reimagining in the vein of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing to a showcase for Gaiman's brand of dark fantasy and his love of the world of stories. We'll also touch on how the series introduced character types not seen in other comics of the time, whether it matters or not that a big part of the story hinges on plotlines from Roy Thomas' Infinity Inc., and how The Sandman went on to give birth to the Vertigo imprint.
Along with republishing Roy's audio claim to Wolverine's co creation , here's a rebuttal from Writer Editor Publisher Mark Waid.

The new controversey about the decision Marvel/Disney has made to credit Roy Thomas in the creationm of Wolverine is addresed in an editorial by me, and represting a 2018 talk I had with Roy and Dr Susana Flores about the psychology of Wolverine. I have great respect for Len Wein and Roy Thomas...but this is a complicated issue.
In addition to the title topics we'll talk a bit about "What if... Venom", Roy Thomas's return to Conan, Josh Gad is another celeb coming to comics, Alan Moore's last comic, Marvels new freebies titled "Must Haves", and I share some recent slabs I got my hands on.
