Amir and Jason are back at it with their look at Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four. This time: the first appearance of the Black Panther in an Afro-furturistic tale of pure action and suspense. Also, we get a lot of Wyatt Wingfoot in this comic, and Amir and Jason agree: We want more Wingfoot!

Amir and Jason are back looking at the exquisite Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four run with a review of one of the most beloved comics of the Silver Age, FF 51's "This Man This Monster." This comic finds Lee and Kirby at the height of their powers, teaming up to deliver a story with a perfect balance of story and art, of pathos and power, and it also has the Kirby Exquisite on full display. If you love this comic, you'll love this chat!

Last time Amir and Jason discussed Jack Kirby's greatest comic story. Well, this one ain't too bad either, as they explore the sublime Silver Age Marvel Fantastic Four #50!

Continuing our look at the brilliant Galactus saga in Fantastic Four, Amir and Jason dig into the incredible range of work Jack Kirby delivers in FF #49. Do comics get much better than this? I say thee... nay!

You don't need a long summary for this one. This time Amir and Jason discuss one of the finest comics of the Silver Age, Fantastic Four #48 (1966). Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Amir and Jason dig into the very first Jonah Hex story, loving John Albano's nihilistic and nasty story and Tony DeZuniga's amazing artwork. It's an great listen about a great comic!

For the first time, Jason and Amir are trying out a combo episode of Classic Comics Cavalcade as we discuss the majestic art in the Miracleman Artisan Edition. We think it's a good listen, but we think you'll also enjoy the video posted to YouTube. 

Steranko hit comics like a bolt of thunder when he took over the art, writing AND color work on Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD. But that was back in 1967-68. How do those comics read 55 years later? Well, spoilers, they're still pretty damn fantastic. Join Amir and Jason as they discuss the work of one of comics' greatest innovators.

Amir and Jason dig into Nick Fury's two first appearances in the Silver Age, with a look at Sgt. Fury's debut in Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos #1, and Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD's first appearance in Strange Tales #135. It's the same character and the same art team on both, but why do these two comics feel so dramatically different? It's a fun examination of the genius of Jack Kirby - and the dauntless energy of Nick Fury too!
