Author, editor, and probable 1950s time traveler Joe Keatinge has been on Marvel by the Month more than any other guest, and with this episode, he's the first to reach double digits! You'd think that might come with some sort of recognition, and you'd be right — you're reading it right now. Thanks, Joe!

For more than 50 minutes of extra content, including our discussions of Thor #206 (the prequel to the infamous Rutland Halloween crossover), the secret origin of Jim Starlin (and why he's one of the only Marvel creators to profit from the MCU), and a grab-bag of non-superhero October '72 Marvels (that Joe insisted that we read, and we're better for it), support us at patreon.com/marvelbythemonth. Subscribers at the $4/month level get instant access to our bonus feed of content that contains over 70 extended and exclusive episodes — with more being added every week!
