And now a reposting of the first part of this rambling and too brief biography of Gene Colan, one of the great artists of Marvel's Silver Age.
Supergirl This week we rocket headfirst into the second film of the new-ish DC Cinematic Universe; Supergirl, a character who's been orbiting the DC universe since the Silver Age, occasionally stepping out from Superman's shadow to remind everyone that capes aren't a boys-only club. Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock alongside Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Jason Momoa desperately trying to wash off the fishy smell of Aquaman. We find Kara Zor-El trading Metropolis for the far reaches of space and her colourful costume for a pair of sunnies with a tan duster. There's the CGI dog again, a revenge quest, and a tone that suggests that maybe this isn't your Saturday-morning cartoon version of heroism. The film has already sparked conversations about how female superheroes are portrayed and whether they're being written with the same complexity, agency, and messy humanity as their male counterparts… or whether we're still stuck in orbit around old tropes. Enter your podcast super-friends: Jill, providing super strength and razor-sharp insight; Dion, keeping things grounded (mostly); Peta, flying high as ever; and Quinny, heroically attempting to hold it all together while absolutely not getting distracted by space dogs or continuity debates. Together, they tackle not just Supergirl itself, but the bigger question: How do we fairly critique female-lead films in the superhero genre today? And why is that such a hard question to ask? Synopsis Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, joins forces with an unlikely companion on an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice when an unexpected adversary strikes too close to home. https://youtu.be/kAJcpCRVwPU A huge shout-out to the super heroic folks who fly in to join our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.

And now a reposting of the second part of this rambling and too brief biography of Gardner Fox, as he helps DC Comics usher in the Silver Age.
Det er Action Comics nr. 252, og Mort Weisinger har besluttet, at det er på tide at udvide Super-familien. Da al form for formering blandt ”pæne” tegneseriefigurer foregår ved hjælp af nevøer, fætre og kusiner (jep! Det er alt sammen Disneys skyld), ser Superman til sin store overraskelse sin kusine ankomme i en rakert: "Great guns! En pige, der flyver!? Det MÅ være en illusion!" Og den kække Kara fra Krypton, efter en lille omvej gennem Argo City, siger: "Det er mig – Superpigen, og jeg har ALLE dine kræfter!" Inde i bladet har Otto Binder og Al Plastino på 7½ side (det gik hurtigt i gamle dage) fortalt, hvad du bør vide om dette nye medlem af Silver Age-herlighederne, og så kunne man ellers se de næste mange år, at DC ikke anede, hvad de skulle stille op med denne nye figur. Det er først inden for de sidste par år, at den stedmoderlige behandling af Kara Zor-El er ophørt. Alt dette og meget mere kommer vi ind på i denne udgave af Supersnak, hvor vi også har besøg af Doktor Superpige, aka Charlotte Johanne Fabricius. Og så slutter festlighederne med, at vi alle tre ser den nye Supergirl-film og giver vores korte og spoilerfrie mening om det seneste slag i bolledejen fra drømmefabrikken. .God lyttehygge og vi ses om to uger!

Con este monográfico llega a su fin esta doce-más-un-ésima (después de todo lo que ha pasado, no tentemos a la suerte) temporada que ha costado sudor y lágrimas (aunque alguna risa también, qué demonios). Y nos despedimos con un último monográfico dedicado a la larga etapa del caballero oscuro capitaneada por el guionista escocés Grant Morrison, acompañado por Andy Kubert, Frank Quitely, Tony Daniel, Yanick Paquette, Chris Burnham y tantos otros. Se trata, con toda probabilidad, de la etapa más grande que nos ha dado el murciélago en lo que vamos de siglo y comparte top con las más grandes de toda la historia. Con su peculiar visión y su amor por la Silver Age, Morrison nos deja todo un estudio de lo que significa la idea de Batman que abarca todas las historia que jamás se hayan hecho e incluso las que jamás se harán. Misterios, conspiraciones desde el pasado, viajes en el tiempo, Batman por el mundo o tal vez bátmanes, montones de ellos, y sobre todo, esa joya de personaje llamado Damian Wayne, que quedará, tal vez de forma involuntaria, como legado para siempre. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro.

The Superhero Show #626Fantastic Four: Super SkrullThe Superhero Show — Super SkrullThis week, The Superhero Show continues its coverage of the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with Episode 1.07, “Super Skrull.” After the events of the previous Skrull storyline, the hosts dive into the arrival of one of the Fantastic Four's most iconic comic book enemies: Super Skrull.The episode brings back the shape-shifting alien threat with an upgraded weapon—a warrior capable of wielding all four of the Fantastic Four's powers at once. The hosts discuss the episode's plot, its connection to the missing Skrull episode that disappeared from modern streaming services, and whether Super Skrull lives up to his reputation as one of Marvel's most dangerous villains.As always, the conversation balances genuine comic book analysis with plenty of laughs at the wonderfully strange storytelling choices that only a 1990s superhero cartoon could deliver.Super Skrull: The Recap Disney+ Doesn't Want You to SeeThe hosts begin by discussing one of the episode's most unusual features: its lengthy recap of the previous Skrull storyline.Because the earlier Skrull episode has largely been absent from Disney+, modern viewers are put in the strange position of watching a recap for an episode they may never have actually seen. The hosts talk about how bizarre this experience is and how the recap almost feels like a hidden glimpse into a lost chapter of the series.This leads to a broader discussion about continuity in older cartoons and how streaming-era audiences sometimes encounter these shows very differently than their original viewers did.Super Skrull: All Four Powers in One VillainThe centerpiece of the episode is, of course, the introduction of Super Skrull himself.The hosts break down how the character is adapted from the comics and why the basic concept remains so effective. By combining the abilities of Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing into a single opponent, the episode instantly creates a threat that feels uniquely suited to challenge the entire team.They discuss how each power is utilized throughout the episode, which abilities translate best to animation, and whether the cartoon fully takes advantage of the character's incredible potential.The consensus? Even when the animation struggles to keep up with the concept, Super Skrull remains a fantastic comic-book idea.Super Skrull: Powered by the Skrull HomeworldOne of the more memorable aspects of the episode is the explanation for where Super Skrull's abilities come from.The hosts discuss the decision to have his powers amplified and maintained through energy transmitted from the Skrull homeworld. This creates a built-in weakness for the character while also reinforcing the larger scale of the Skrull Empire's involvement in the conflict.Naturally, the hosts have some fun poking at the comic-book logic involved, but they also acknowledge that it gives the story a clear objective beyond simply punching the villain until he stops moving.Super Skrull: Outsmarting the Ultimate EnemyAs the episode builds toward its conclusion, the Fantastic Four realize they cannot simply overpower an opponent who possesses all of their abilities.The hosts discuss how the team ultimately defeats Super Skrull through strategy and teamwork rather than brute force. This becomes one of the stronger elements of the episode, emphasizing the idea that what makes the Fantastic Four special is not their powers individually but how they work together as a family.The discussion also touches on whether the resolution feels earned and how it compares to other major villain defeats throughout the first season.Comic Book Weirdness at Its FinestThroughout the episode, the hosts repeatedly come back to what makes Super Skrull such an enjoyable piece of Marvel history. The character embodies everything great about Silver Age comic books: a simple premise, outrageous powers, and enough comic-book logic to create endless entertaining situations.Even when the episode struggles with pacing or storytelling, the sheer fun of watching the Fantastic Four face a villain who can do everything they can do keeps the hosts engaged.Final Thoughts — Super SkrullBy the end of Super Skrull, The Superhero Show finds itself discussing one of the strongest villain concepts the 1994 Fantastic Four series has introduced so far. Between the strange recap of a missing episode, the arrival of one of Marvel's most recognizable alien antagonists, and the creative challenge of facing a foe with all four Fantastic Four powers, the episode delivers exactly the kind of comic-book absurdity that makes this series so entertaining to revisit.Whether you're a longtime fan of the character or meeting him for the first time, Super Skrull proves why the Fantastic Four's rogues gallery remains one of Marvel's most imaginative.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

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!

David Armstrong interviewed Golden and Silver Age great, John Broome in 1998 on set at San Diego Comic Con about his entry into comic books and pulps in the 1930s, working at Quality Comics and DC Comics, knowing Otto Binder, his favorite comic book genre, his science fiction stories synergizing with the space race, trying to gather support for creators to claim reprint rights from Jack Liebowitz, his stories of the 1950s, if comic books were a gateway to larger narrative projects, his enjoyment of films, writing a movie about Casanova, why he left comic books, and his dearest friend, Julius Schwartz. Armstrong also interviewed Pulp & Graphic Novel writer and Silver Age great, Arnold Drake in 2005 on set at San Diego Comic Con about his early forays into writing in the army during the Battle of the Bulge, submitting stories to the vintage paperback market, meeting Leslie Waller with whom he wrote what some consider the first graphic novel, It Rhymes With Lust, entering DC Comics through his friendship with Bob Kane, his opinion of Mort Weisinger, writing Showcase #1, revitalizing Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis licensed comics at DC, discussing the threat of Stan Lee's Marvel Age with Irwin Donenfeld, creating Doom Patrol, interacting with Dick Giordano, Carmine Infantino and his favorite artist, Bruno Premiani.

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.

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?

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.

To celebrate the 85th Anniversary of Captain America, we're exploring Cap's 1979 TV movie, and Marvel's 70s Cinematic Universe! We'll dig into the deal between Marvel Comics, Universal Television, and CBS that brought us TV movies and TV shows starring The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Dr Strange, and Captain America! We'll get into how the deal began and how it all fell apart, how the Captain America TV movie was made, why Reb Brown was cast as Steve Rogers, and how the film nearly ended the career of the director before it had ever begun! We'll also pay special attention to the Captain America comic books of the 1970's, how they took influence from the shifting sands of America's social and political climate, and how the Seventies transformed Captain America into a true rebel! Then we'll deep-dive the movie itself, pull it apart scene-by-scene and dig into everything this movie got right (the bike) and everything it got wrong! Plus we've packed the episode with tons of unexplored Marvel history and trivia about the Super Soldier Serum, the SECOND origin of Captain America, the Super Soldiers who also got powers in the war, how Marvel tied their Golden Age characters into their Silver Age characters, and tons more! Plus we've got all the Marvel Connections of every actor in this movie, no matter how tenuous or strenuous they may be!

[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.
World renowned illustrator and cartoonist, Michael Cho joins the show to talk about his new comic covers for Thundarr The Barbarian and Space Ghost (for Dynamite Entertainment). We also deep dive into his artistic process, Jack Kirby and Silver Age comic influences, "meeting" Captain America in The Avengers in the Verocity Trap, and Mike takes a moment to remember his friend Darwyn Cooke.

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.
