If you know Daredevil, you should know the name Roger McKenzie. Roger was the writer during a redefining Daredevil run in the 80s with Frank Miller. But he's also done so much more! He started with Warren Publishing in the 70s, writing for series like Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella. He did some work on horror and western titles for DC, before moving to Marvel. There, aside from Daredevil, Roger wrote the Battlestar Galactica adaptation, Captain America, and Marvel Fanfare. He's also written for a variety of indie publishers, including Pacific, Comico, Sirius, Pied Piper, and Eclipse.

A fount of superlative editorial skill and knowledge, you may know Diana Schutz from her 25 years at Dark Horse Comics, where she oversaw such game-changing series as Frank Miller's Sin City, Mike Mignola's Hellboy, Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo, Paul Chadwick's Concrete, and Matt Wagner's Grendel, to name but a few. Of course, we rewind all the way back to the beginning, where Diana started her comics career at a Canadian shop earnestly titled The ComicShop. Diana then created a comicsw newsletter called the Telegraph Wire and contributed to various fanzines and conventions, before she was hired at Marvel for a short stint. Then, it was on to Comico, during that imprint's heyday, and ultimately Dark Horse. What a career, and we barely scratch the surface!

You can find and follow Diana on Facebook.

The (returning) guest may be Jack C. Harris, but the topic of today's episode is none other than Steve Ditko, one of comics' foundational creators. In his new book, Working With Ditko, Jack looks back on his many collaborations with the illustrator extraordinaire on titles like The Creeper, The Demon, Wonder Woman, and Legion of Super-Heroes. The Bandits get into it all, from the nature of their collaborations to Ditko's ideas and creative process. Did you know Ditko even redesigned Batman's costume? Listen up, Banditos: this one is history in the making!

Get your own copy of Working With Ditko from our friends at TwoMorrows Publishing: twomorrows.com.

They came out of nowhere, like a jolt of lightning in 1990. Packs of trading cards, but instead of featuring sports heroes, they were the heroes of the Marvel universe. That's right, we're talking Marvel trading cards with the two guys who did the heavy lifting for those early 90s sets: Bob Budiansky and Tom Brevoort! Celebrating the 34th anniversary of the first set (why wait for a round number?), we get into everything cards: how the project came about, how (and by whom) they were designed, making character decisions, soliciting the art, and where exactly they got those back-of-the-card stats. 

It's a crazy tale, and one we're excited to share with you! Thank you to David Harper and his 2014 article "The Secret Origin and Lasting Impact of the Marvel Universe Cards" (on SKTCHD) for inspiring this episode.
