FLASHBACK! One of the most acclaimed Marvel runs of the 1980s was by Walt Simonson on The Mighty Thor. He began writing and drawing it with #337, continued through to #367 (with a quick break in the middle), then gave up art duties but continued writing through #382. This run set aside Dr. Don Blake, … Continue reading #627 Walt Simonson's “Thor”

The holidays are a time for looking back, so this week we're doing exactly that. We're talking about the ones that got away—the Sidebar guest interviews we sought out that never quite happened. We won't spoil every name here, but let's just say David Mazzucchelli, Jeffrey Jones, and Bill Sienkiewicz were among the many heartbreakers (kidding… mostly). We close out the conversation with a wish list of guests we never even got the chance to invite on, such as Serpieri, Claire Wendling, and Walt Simonson. Looking back on this era reminded us just how magical that run was—a stretch when incredible creatives were joining us week after week, and we loved every minute of it. So, join us for the final pod of 2025 as we walk down memory lane and share a few behind-the-scenes stories.

Once again, we go back to the 1970s for an obscure DC hero named...Manhunter!Manhunter (aka Paul Kirk) plays the world's most dangerous game  -- hunting criminals -- amid international intrigue and machinations with all the twists and turns that you might see in a classic James Bond film.  With the exception that Manhunter dies and is resurrected, but with a major twist...he goes up against an army of his own clones!This series, which played out as a backup story in Detective Comics, was the work of veteran writer and editor Archie Goodwin, and was an early work by a young penciler named Walter Simonson.  Together, they crafted a saga that while short-lived, had an impact on comics fandom, and set Walt Simonson on the path to other things (Thor, etc).Your dangerous hosts are Brad Page and Chris Karam

We break down issue 51: Resurrection of Evil from June 1981! There is a new super weapon being constructed called the Tarkin. Our heroes are sent to bring down this technological terror, and at the same time there is a plot within the Empire to kill Darth Vader!   In the past, Marvel has tied-in Kenner action figures and playsets. Is that what they are doing here with the Scout Walker vehicle? Or was it because they wanted to feature the cool 2-legged walker seen in The Empire Strikes Back for 2 seconds.   Today in Star Wars History   Disney+ streams the episode, “Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa” from The Book of Boba Fett which Guest stars Danny Trejo as the Rancor Keeper. (Does Danny Trejo make an appearance in this episode's Marvel comic?)   In “The Streets of Mos Espa” the Hutt Twins come to Boba Fett's palace and offer their apologies for sending Black Krrsantan to kill him.   This Book of Boba Fett  episode also features the BEST Behind the scenes Easter Egg ever! During the speeder chase where the mods were pursuing the Mayor's majordomo, one of the mods crashes through a Ralph McQuarrie painting of Jabba's court from Return of the Jedi.     #51 “RESURRECTION OF EVIL"   Release Date: June 16, 1981 Writer: David Michelinie Artwork: Walt Simonson, Tom Palmer Cover Art:  Walt Simonson   General Rieekan receives word from Rebel spies that the Galactic Empire is constructing a new superweapon known as the Tarkin. Realizing the danger the new weapon poses, Rieekan sends for Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Lando C and the droids. The Rebel heroes are sent to infiltrate the Tarkin, however Darth Vader observes as they arrive and sets events in motion to capture his long sought after adversary, Luke Skywalker.

We break down issue 51: Resurrection of Evil from June 1981! There is a new super weapon being constructed called the Tarkin. Our heroes are sent to bring down this technological terror, and at the same time there is a plot within the Empire to kill Darth Vader!   In the past, Marvel has tied-in Kenner action figures and playsets. Is that what they are doing here with the Scout Walker vehicle? Or was it because they wanted to feature the cool 2-legged walker seen in The Empire Strikes Back for 2 seconds.   Today in Star Wars History   Disney+ streams the episode, “Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa” from The Book of Boba Fett which Guest stars Danny Trejo as the Rancor Keeper. (Does Danny Trejo make an appearance in this episode's Marvel comic?)   In “The Streets of Mos Espa” the Hutt Twins come to Boba Fett's palace and offer their apologies for sending Black Krrsantan to kill him.   This Book of Boba Fett  episode also features the BEST Behind the scenes Easter Egg ever! During the speeder chase where the mods were pursuing the Mayor's majordomo, one of the mods crashes through a Ralph McQuarrie painting of Jabba's court from Return of the Jedi.     #51 “RESURRECTION OF EVIL"   Release Date: June 16, 1981 Writer: David Michelinie Artwork: Walt Simonson, Tom Palmer Cover Art:  Walt Simonson   General Rieekan receives word from Rebel spies that the Galactic Empire is constructing a new superweapon known as the Tarkin. Realizing the danger the new weapon poses, Rieekan sends for Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Lando C and the droids. The Rebel heroes are sent to infiltrate the Tarkin, however Darth Vader observes as they arrive and sets events in motion to capture his long sought after adversary, Luke Skywalker. But little does the Dark Lord know that some of his own men are secretly plotting against him due to his vicious punishments imposed against their fellow Imperial officers.   We take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.

 For this extra spectacular season closer, we decided to invite our buddy @jayrollinsart on to talk about one of his all time favorite comics. And he straight up blew our minds into smithereens with ROBOCOP VS THE TERMINATOR by Frank Miller & Walt Simonson. It's over the top in all the best ways possible, truly capturing the nature of both franchises and throwing in a few extra nukes for good measure.

An extra week between episodes takes us off the beaten path of our regular coverage and into a hidden dinosaur kingdom inside the hollow Earth, where Walt Simonson and Lee Weeks pit pulp hero Tarzan against the Predators of film fame in a four-issue Dark Horse Comics limited series from 1996. Along the way, we'll pontificate about the finer points of Edgar Rice Burroughs' often problematic pop culture icon, speculate about the recurring bit of X-Men lore that probably has its roots in Pellucidar, and pitch our own "Predator vs. ______" crossovers.

Paul Kirk, Manhunter, teams up with Batman to take down the evil Council! Join David and Peter as they cover this ground-breaking series from Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson.

Walt Simonson is here and he's doing his best to try and clean up the mess he's been left!  The Avengers fight the Masters of Evil, Loki plots, and its civil war amongst our heroes!

It's the end of the Liefeld era on the Avengers, as Walt Simonson gets invited back to try and clean up a mess....again.  He'll do his best, but with only five issues to work with, can he put this book on a good path to bring it in for a satisfying finish?

Yes, it would have been nice if I made the 6th episode an episode on the Sinister Six. Yes, it is bothering me.

On this week's pod, we build an unofficial hall of fame to one of the greatest to ever do it — Walt Simonson. We include seminal works like his run on The Mighty Thor from the 1980s, his Manhunter backup stories from Detective Comics, and his art for one of the first Marvel-DC crossovers, The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans. Our discussion also gets into his unforgettably unique signature (in the shape of a dinosaur) and his quick cameo in the first Thor film from 2011.

Dan Panosian does it all: pencilling, inking, writing, advertising, video game designing... the list goes on. But like most of our guests, he's a comics guy at heart. Starting with Neal Adams at Continuity and Walt Simonson and Ralph Macchio at Marvel, Dan's inking work soon caught the eye of the X-Men editors, and he was off to the races! After runs on Uncanny X-Men and Alpha Flight (among others), he was recruited to Image, where he worked on the big guns like Spawn, Cyberforce, PITT, Prophet, Savage Dragon, and Wetworks. Branching out from inking, Dan pencils and writes too, taking on assignments across the industry, from Dark Horse and Dynamite to Boom! Studios. To see what's coming from Dan next, follow him on X and Instagram @UrbanBarbarian._____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

In the 1980s, Jim Shooter was editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics for nine years. During his run as editor, Marvel produced Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run on the Uncanny X-Men, Byrne's work on Fantastic Four, Frank Miller's series of Daredevil stories, Walt Simonson's crafting of Norse mythology with the Marvel Universe in Thor, and Roger Stern's runs on both Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man. He wrote the iconic Marvel event Secret Wars which was tied into a toyline. Secret Wars led to the creation of the Spider-Man black costume. It was one of the biggest crossovers to date and a storyline that is expected to be the focal point of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Six. This episode was recorded live at Fan Expo Philadelphia 2023 and includes commentary on the state of comic books and the growth of the superhero genre. Shooter also comments on the black costume eventually turned into the iconic villain Venom.

On this episode, we shine the spotlight on Thor's right hand man, BALDER! To help us breakdown Walt Simonson's "Balder the Brave" limited series we welcome TOM TORMEY (Cosmic Comic History). We learn what can happen when an Asgardian boy scout meets a Nornheim goth girl. A bizarre love story that involves magic enchantments, talking to animals, frost giants, and all sorts of sword and sorcery nonsense!
