Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

This week, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) check out a third debut from Image Comics in 1992, The Savage Dragon #1 by Erik Larsen! After the usual creator and character bios, they go through every page of the inaugural issue, then discuss other iterations of the character as well as some more about the series--which continues today! To wrap up, our muckraking duo look at some of the contentious statements Erik Larsen has made over the years--and their contentious responses! It's an episode full of one-liners, smack talk, and declarations, and that's not even in the comic book!

Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@AceComics) decided to re-release their three-part biography of prolific author and co-creator of the Doom Patrol, Arnold Drake! They'll go through his entire life: the innovation, the controversy, and ultimately his recognition as one of the most important comics creators of his generation. If you missed it, here's your chance to catch up! And if you've already listened to these segments, check 'em out all stitched together in single episode format and relive those wonderful memories from late May 2016!

Good evening! In this episode, children of the night Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) investigate a comic book about vampires--Superman vol. 2 #70 from 1992 by Dan Jurgens! After a bibliography of our man Dan, they discuss the secret and not-so-secret origins of Superman before diving into a brief run-down of the issue that preceded this, Man of Steel #14, and then digging coffin-deep in their inimitable style for Superman #70! Later, there's a history of vampires and other great Superman/Robin team-ups throughout DC Comics history. No can hear you scream, in the dark, in the night...so enjoy this episode undisturbed!

BREAK: A Superman toy commercial from the 1990s...forgot the details

Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) bring you another classic episode from way back when Weird Comics History was a segment of the Weird Science DC Comics Dot Com Podcast! This combines two parts from episodes 76 and 77 of that podcast, and they're all about DC Comics' first imprints meant to appeal to independent creators: Piranha Press and Paradox Press! These are relevant to Underground Comix in that it was another venue for people to showcase their non-superhero work, and of course some of the lessons learned from these imprints would be applied to Vertigo later on. So consider this your extra credit work!
