Have we really been living in "The Modern Age of Comics" for over three and a half decades now? Or can we identify a distinct historical age for the first 15 years or so? This introductory episode contains an overview of the so-called ages of (American superhero) comics, a mission statement for the podcast, and a chance to get to know your hosts better. (Think of it as our own exclusive Issue #0.) Start here if you're interested in this sort of conceptual overview, but feel free to skip if you just want to dive right into the actual episodes.
