Podcasts about Silver age

This episode we talk about the most recent Banned and Restricted announcement including the tone LSS took throughout the article, the seemingly odd CC bans (and lack of bans), and if the Silver Age section put us into Runeblade summer. I promise the video is less sensationalist than the title.Discord Link: https://discord.gg/vcYB5C3gpPatreon Link: https://patreon.com/PitchItToMe?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=join_linkYou can follow us at the following socials:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pitchittomepod.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pitchittomepodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PitchItToMePodcastTimestamps:00:00 Introduction00:38 Turn Zero07:26 You Gotta Set the Tone27:40 New Bans are Old News47:47 Is it Runeblade Summer1:03:04 Arsenal Zone1:15:15 OutroCredits:Host #2 -- Fuzzy DelpHost #2 -- Joel RecinosHost #2 -- Clark MooreExecutive Producer -- Talon StradleyMusic -- Dillon HulseLogo -- Han ViMix -- Christopher MooreAudio Editor -- Clark MooreVideo Editor -- Clark Moore + Joel RecinosThank you to Legend Story Studios for allowing the use of their card art through their Content Creator policies and for making the game of Flesh and Blood.#fleshandbloodtcg #tradingcards #gamedesign #podcast #legendstorystudios #fabtcg #pitm #pitchittome #bnr #classicconstructed #silverage

Ever looked around the Batcave and wondered why on earth Batman keeps a giant, multi-ton copper coin just sitting next to the Batmobile? This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike dive into the wonderfully ridiculous Silver Age origins of one of Gotham's most famous trophies. Tune in as we break down World's Finest Comics Issue 30 (1947) to meet Joe Coyne. The petty paper-boy turned "Penny Plunderer" and discover how a roll of pennies, some "five-minute crafts" MacGyvering, and a millionaire's houseboat gave birth to an iconic piece of Bat-history.#batman #dccomics #dc #batcave Thank you to our sponsors!

What happens when Superman sings, Broadway collides with late-night television, and absolutely nobody involved seems to be making the same project?Laramy Wells and Tim Williams dive into the bizarre 1975 TV special It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman!—a musical adaptation of the Man of Steel that feels equal parts Silver Age comic, stage production, and fever dream.The guys discuss the forgotten Broadway origins of the special, the strange history of superheroes on stage, the surprisingly stacked supporting cast, and why this thing aired so late at night in the first place.It's one of the strangest Superman adaptations ever made—and maybe one of the hardest to explain.

Of all of DC's obscure characters outside the Bat family, two of Matt's absolute favorites are the Elongated Man, Ralph Dibny, and his wife, Sue. Inspired by Nick and Nora Charles from Dashiell Hammett's novel, The Thin Man, Ralph and Sue are a bantering, loving couple who solve mysteries. They are, as the kids at one point or another said, couple goals. And ignoring the ignominy of Identity Crisis, Ralph and Sue made it through any problem with a smile, a wink and the twitch of a nose. Being a detective himself, you'd think Batman and Elongated Man team-ups would be mysteries. This week, well, two out of three ain't bad. We read their first meeting in the Silver Age, an early Justice League story and a more recent story where Ralph and Sue team up with one Matches Malone. Museum of Mixed-Up Men!

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Case Aiken (Men of Steel) dig into "Many Happy Returns" — the famed final arc of the Peter David-written SUPERGIRL series featuring art by Ed Benes — in which Linda Danvers encounters the Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El and attempts to take her place in the multiverse to save Kara from her fate in CRISIS.They discuss the arc's loving send-up of Silver Age sensibilities, the winning big sister/little sister dynamic between Linda & Kara, Linda's sacrifice & heartbreaking ending, and PAD's unrealized plans for a "Blonde Justice" continuation.Anthony & Case also address Supergirl analogue CIR-EL — aka the "Daughter of Tomorrow" — who made her debut in the pages of SUPERMAN while "Many Happy Returns" was unfolding.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato, including the spinoff podcasts BEYOND METROPOLIS and DIGGING FOR JUSTICE!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.

Fuzzy wants to give a couple tips for evaluating cards and strategies in Draft, especially since there's a new Limited format on the horizon. Clark wants to discuss the upcoming Silver Age rotation vote, and some things think about as you're choosing how to spend your one vote.

In what promises to be the snappiest episode of the podcast to date, we do a deep dive into the early years of Mike Allred's signature creation, Frank Einstein (sometimes but not exclusively also known as “Madman” in the comics themselves) at Tundra Publishing and Dark Horse Comics. Born of a desire to fuse existentialism with costumed adventure, Allred mixes ‘50s sci-fi movies, Silver Age comics, David Bowie lyrics, a dash of Mary Shelley and J.D. Salinger, and a whole lot of other influences and ingredients. With heart-on-its-sleeve earnestness tempered by gonzo absurdity, Madman asks the big questions: What makes us human? Is evil necessary to define good? Does God exist? But most importantly: Isn't it super-neat-o to have a girlfriend?Discussed in this episode: Madman #1-3, Madman Adventures #1-3, Madman Comics #1-10, plus material from Creatures of the Id #1 (recently and conveniently collected as Madman Omnibus Volume 1 from Dark Horse Comics)Man oh man, did you know you can back the podcast and get a monthly newsletter and Fifth Week Bonus episodes at patreon.com/ironageofcomics?

And a reposting of this rambling and too brief biography of Kurt Schaffenberger, one of the great artists of Superman & Lois Lane during the Silver Age.

Roy Thomas returns to discuss A Life in Four Colors, 1940–1966, his long-awaited autobiography published by TwoMorrows. In the book, the man Stan Lee dubbed "Rascally Roy" and "Roy the Boy" tells the full, uncensored story of his emergence as one of the brightest stars in the Marvel Comics firmament. Readers get a ringside seat at some of the earliest comics conventions, and at the fateful 1965 New York Herald Tribune interview that caused a seismic rift between Lee and Kirby. The full-color hardcover is illustrated with rare and unseen art and behind-the-scenes photos from the dawn of the Silver Age, and Roy teases that he's already hard at work on a follow-up volume covering the rest of his Marvel tenure from 1967 to 1980. You can find the book from TwoMorrows here: https://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1878. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

David Young & Tyler chat about three Disney animated features from the fifties and sixties. Including: Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.

Peter and Eden dive into the first four issues of Larry Hama's classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comics — a Kickstarter Peter may have regretted until roughly issue three, when a self-reassembling mech changed his mind. Before getting to Cobra, they cover Eden's return to Final Fantasy XIV and a crash course in Riichi Mahjong, Peter's take on Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 7 (enthusiastically defended as entertainment, explicitly not art), the emotional weight of the new At the Gates album The Ghost of a Future Dead, and a handful of other metal releases. The G.I. Joe discussion turns into a genuinely good riff on comics history, the widescreen movement, and what it feels like to read a 1982 military action comic with 2025 eyes.SHOW NOTESEden returns to Final Fantasy XIV: The new expansion Everkold was announced and Eden is skeptical of the premise. They made a new character on a new data center with a self-imposed gimmick — only picking classes that use magic, which leads to some fun justifications for Dark Knight and Reaper.Riichi Mahjong crash course: Eden attended a learn-to-play Mahjong event at a local board game lounge and has been practicing at the Gold Saucer in FFXIV. The tiles are described as resembling Haribo frogs — thick, satisfying, extremely edible-looking.Eden's reading: Clematis and Wisteria series: A contemporary fantasy series set in a majocracy where healers are second-class citizens bonded to mages. Features two prickly, genuinely unlikable protagonists in a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers arc. Eden is several books in and very much into it.Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 7: Peter finished it and reaffirmed his position that it is not art — it is McDonald's. A fun, genre-appropriate palate cleanser, nothing more. This generated at least one spirited reply from a listener on social media that Peter declined to further engage with.Dresden Files Book 18 (Cold Days): Peter is halfway through and pleasantly surprised by how contemplative and low-action it is so far — Harry processing trauma rather than punching things. He expects crazy stuff by the end.Metal roundup: Peter covers several recent releases — Grief Collector's The Death of All Dreams (classic doom), A Dream of Poe's Katabasis: A Marriage Among Ashes (gothic/symphonic doom from Portugal, came with a personal thank-you email from the artist), Avertat's Dead End Life (death-doom), and Sepultura's swan-song EP The Cloud of Unknowing. Peter delivers a hot take defending post-Max Sepultura and does not mince words about the Cavalera brothers.At the Gates — The Ghost of a Future Dead: The most affecting music note of the episode. Lead vocalist Tomas Lindberg was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, recorded demo vocals for the entire album in one day before surgery, and ultimately died from the disease. The band completed the album using those recordings. Peter calls it a real banger and a worthy send-off.G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Issues 1–4): The main topic. Both Peter and Eden started skeptical — Peter "made a hundreds of dollars mistake" on the Kickstarter — but came around by issue three when a self-rebuilding mech shows up. Eden provides a solid comics theory digression on the widescreen movement, Silver Age overexplaining, and where 1982 G.I. Joe sits in that history. Larry Hama's background (Asian American, invented characters alongside Hasbro, writing it into his 60s) gets discussed, as does the book's period-typical racism and sexism, Snake Eyes' ambiguous deal, and Cobra's complete lack of motivation.Free Comic Book Day plug: Eden reminds listeners that Free Comic Book Day is the following Saturday. The Dungeon Crawler Carl zero issue will be available. Eden also shouts out G.I. Joe: Silent Missions and a single issue written by friend-of-the-shop Phil Hester.

Catwoman has been around for over 80 years, and like all good Bat villains, she has changed with the times. But it's amazing how much of the character has been there through the ages. Patreon backer and friend of the show Sam Hopper joins us to look at the evolution of Catwoman, what has stayed the same and what has changed, in three stories from three different eras. In a Golden Age story, Selina works to prove she's gone straight. In a Bronze Age story, well she also works to prove she's gone straight. And in a glorious story of Silver Age madness, she is not going straight at all, but is instead turning Lois Lane into another Catwoman and Superman into a housecat. It's as wild as it sounds. Catwoman: Empress of the Underworld (Batman V.1 # 65) The Catwoman's Black Magic (Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane # 70-71) Shadow of the Cat (Batman V.1 # 323-324) Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

[School of Movies 2026] Finally, after twenty years of half-assed attempts (thirty if you count the Roger Corman production never intended to see the light of day) to bring Marvel's First Family to the big screen, they actually nailed it... mostly. First Steps delivers not just the Silver Age superheroes, but the era itself, in a gorgeous, memorable, hopeful vision of the Kennedy-Era 1960s (one where racism has been dealt with, and women don't struggle to be taken seriously). This alternate Earth of 828 is put in jeopardy when a version of Galactus (who isn't just a big angry CG cloud) comes calling. Setting aside a dedicated section to air our misgivings over two crucial factors, (wherein Sharon comes up with one subtle but significant story change that blows me away) this episode brings us closer to Doomsday, where these fantastic folks will play prominent roles.

What happens when the King of the Seven Seas meets a literal circus performer in the middle of the ocean? In this episode, Zach and Mike dive into the surreal pages of Adventure Comics Issue 242 (1957) to uncover the "Amazing Feats of Aqua-Melvin." When an emergency S.O.S. leads to an unexpected medical procedure, Aquaman accidentally shares more than just a heroic bond with a circus clown named Melvin. We break down one of the strangest "power swaps" in DC history, the mystery of the "missing page," and why Aquaman's vocabulary in the 1950s was surprisingly similar to a certain Boy Wonder. In this episode, we discuss: The Blood Transfusion Logic: How a medical emergency on a ship leads to a clown gaining the powers of Aquaman. Aqua-Melvin's Debut: Melvin the Clown takes to the sea, and his "heroic" methods are exactly as ridiculous as you'd expect. Ramona Fradon's Art: A tribute to the legendary artist who defined Aquaman's look for over two decades. "Diving Dolphins!": A look at Aquaman's bizarre Silver Age catchphrases and how he handled being "inconvenienced" by his new sidekick. Batman's Birthday: We celebrate Bruce Wayne's canonical birthday (February 19th) with a very non-Batman story. #aquaman #dccomics #comicbooks #silverage #comicbookhistory #retrocomics #brosfoesandheroes #podcast #batmanday Thank you to our sponsors!

Since the 1980s, mainstream comics has had more than its fair share of superstar creators. But for every Chris Claremont and John Byrne, there have been hundreds of writers and artists quietly doing good work month after month. On this episode, we're celebrating those “blue-collar” creators—the ones who may not have been treated like stars, but wrote and drew good-ass comics. We champion Silver Age talents like Gardner Fox, Curt Swan, and Jim Aparo, whose contributions helped define entire eras, before moving into more modern-day workhorses—Mark Bagley, Norm Breyfogle, Lee Weeks and more—who kept the trains runnin' and the stories comin'. Along the way, we ask: how did the rise of organized fandom affect a creator's overall popularity? What's the difference between a blue-collar creator and a hack? And why are inkers, colorists, and letterers almost always relegated to blue-collar status? The recent passing of Sal Buscema brought this topic into sharp focus for us. Sal spent decades doing essential work for Marvel, often without the same spotlight his brother John received. This episode is, in part, a tribute to him—and to all the creators who showed up, did the work, and helped build the comics industry we love.

A decade ago, Vladimir Alexandrov published an excellent biography, The Black Russian, about an unknown historical figure–Fredrick Bruce Thomas. Thomas was a Black Mississippian who moved to Imperial Russia and became a successful Moscow nightclub owner until Revolution forced him to flee. Thomas' life is a window into post-emancipation Black American aspiration, struggle and cosmopolitanism. Alexandrov found Thomas such an intriguing character, he couldn't let him go. So now, Thomas is the principle in a suspense novel set in Russia's Silver Age. The Eurasian Knot spoke to Alexandrov about Thomas' new adventure, the challenges of writing a novel, and where can we expect Fredrick Bruce Thomas to go from here. Guest:Vladimir Alexandrov, B. E. Bensinger Professor Emeritus in the Slavic Department at Yale, is the author most recently of The Black Russian, and To Break Russia's Chains: Boris Savinkov and His Wars against the Tsar and the Bolsheviks. He is currently completing a history of Russian involvement in the American Civil War, and the second novel in The Black Russian series. His first novel is The Black Russian and the Serpents Sting published by NIMCA Press. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chat over calamari with Megaton Man creator Don Simpson as we discuss why he splurged on a special issue of Captain Marvel at the Baltimore Comic-Con, how the business practices of comics affect the artistic side, the way two early visits with artist Keith Pollard taught him he didn't want to be a Marvel Comics penciller after all, where he feels the Silver Age ended and the Bronze Age truly began, how classic cinema and the auteur theory influenced his creative choices, the lessons he learned from the first few issues of Love & Rockets vs. the unfortunate expectations set up by the first few issues of Megaton Man, how working on DC's anthology title Wasteland caused him to reinvent himself, what path his publishing life would have taken had Megaton Man been only a one-shot as originally planned, the career differences between Basil Wolverton and Will Eisner, why he's able to let others play with his characters without feeling proprietary, the alternate universe in which he would have been a Crusty Bunker or one of Romita's Raiders, how 9/11 caused him to head back to school for a PhD, why he wrote a Ms. Megaton Man prose novel, whether he already knows the final chapter to his comics universe, and much more.

Host Anthony Desiato kicks off 2026 with a multi-episode look at the villain Brainiac across time & media! In Part 1, Anthony and guest Daniel Sanchez (@wearingthecape) chart Brainiac's evolution in the Pre-Crisis era — including his Silver Age debut as an evil space alien, mid-1960s reinvention as a robot in humanoid form, late Bronze Age robotic redesign, and animated depictions in the Filmation series and SUPER FRIENDS.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato, including the spinoff podcasts BEYOND METROPOLIS and DIGGING FOR JUSTICE!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.

This is the second in our occasional series of episodes that I'm calling "In Search of Lost Broadway,” in which my longtime  colleague Albert Evans and I try to unearth and rediscover musicals that were very significant and influential Broadway hits in their day but now have disappeared from almost all discussion of Broadway's past and receive only the briefest mentions in the history books. Today, we focus on a big hit musical of the 1930s that I highly doubt anyone listening to this podcast has ever seen live on stage. That show is THE GREAT WALTZ.  It opened on Broadway in 1934  and became one of the longest-running musicals of the decade.  It was the creation of three very significant Broadway artists of what I call the “Silver Age” of Broadway: bookwriter MOSS HART, choreographer ALBERTINA RASCH, and, most notably, the musicals conceiver, director, and lighting designer HASSARD SHORT — who I have come to believe is one of the most important and yet most under-acknowledged Queer inventors of the Broadway musical. Our goal (at least until someone invents a time machine so that we can journey back to see the show) has been to identify and evaluate firsthand accounts, reviews, scholarship, recordings, films, videos, et cetera (including three movie versions and a live television production) in terms of how effectively they can help us to understand, appreciate and even, to some degree, experience the original Broadway production.  Another reason I selected this show for us to focus on right now is because just a few weeks ago,  October 25th, 2025,  marked the 200th anniversary of the birth of JOHANN STRAUSS II,  who even though he died in 1899,  had an amazingly significant presence on Broadway during the 20th century, including 27 showsfeaturing his music between 1882  and 1990. Albert and I will review that list of musicals on the next episode. Here is your Broadway Nation Ep 192: In Search of Lost Broadway: The Great Waltz companion guide to related media: A studio cast recording of Waltzes From Vienna, the score of which seems to have been carried over into the Broadway production of The Great Waltz:  Onstage and behind-the-scenes newsreel footage of the original production of The Great Waltz:  The full 1934 film version of Waltzes From Vienna, directed by Alfred Hitchcock:  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this 2016 conversation, acclaimed comics historian Bill Schelly takes us deep into the life and legacy of Otto Binder, one of the most influential — and too often overlooked — writers in the history of American comics and science fiction. Schelly discusses his expanded biography, Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary, and lays out why Binder's fingerprints are all over the Golden and Silver Age. We cover:Binder's prolific run on Shazam!/Captain Marvel in the 1940sThe creation of Mary Marvel, the Marvel Family, and Mr. Tawny the Talking TigerHow Binder built classic villains like Mister Mind and crafted the landmark Monster Society of Evil sagaHis leap to DC Comics in the 1950s, where he co-created Supergirl, The Legion of Super-Heroes, the Bottled City of Kandor, and helped reshape the Superman mythosBinder's parallel career in science fiction, and how his SF instincts informed his storytelling across both mediumsWhy his influence still resonates with modern superhero comicsThis is a must-listen for anyone who cares about comics history, forgotten giants of the medium, and the creators who quietly built the universes we all take for granted. ► SUBSCRIBE for more deep-dive interviews, comic history talks, and archival creator conversations.

Before there was the Marvel Universe… before Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four changed everything in 1961… there was Atlas Comics. It was the 1950s — the so-called “lost decade” for Marvel. The superheroes were gone. In their place came monsters, crime, westerns, romance, and science fiction. But inside those pages, you could already see the DNA of what was coming next.From artists like Joe Maneely, Bill Everett, and a young Steve Ditko… to Stan Lee's endless experiments with genre and tone… the Atlas years are the missing link between Timely's Golden Age and Marvel's Silver Age explosion. In this episode, we're diving deep into that forgotten era — the stories, the creators, the rise and fall of the Atlas line, and how those books quietly paved the way for the Marvel Revolution.
