Marvel's Declassified

George speaks about his early days as an avid Marvel reader, his engagement with the fanzine community as a teen, and the lasting impression that Marvel stories have left on his life and work. Plus, he reads one of his early letters to Marvel!

To close out this season of Marvel’s Declassified, Lorraine and Evan shift gears to tell the story of Marvel fandom through the years—through the voices of people who were there.

How have visions of the future influenced Marvel's stories? And on the flip side, how has Marvel shaped ideas about the future? From Iron Man's armor to the visionary technology of Wakanda, Lorraine and Evan explore how Marvel has answered these questions.

What are the inner workings of the Spider-Verse? And what happens when a Spider-Man alternate reality spills off the page and into real life? Lorraine and Evan discover all of that and more on today’s episode.

Marvel’s Declassified presents: a bonus, extended interview with legendary Captain Marvel writer Kelly Sue DeConnick!

How did Marvel Knights — a now-legendary imprint created by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti — save Marvel Comics from near-extinction? On this episode, Evan and Lorraine find out from the people who made it happen.

On this episode, Evan and Lorraine trace the evolution of The Hulk through the eyes of his creators, and look at how subsequent comic book runs have added pieces to the puzzle—from carefree Professor Hulk to seedy Gray Hulk to World War Hulk.

In this episode, Lorraine and Evan explore how Carol Danvers’ evolution has reflected wider societal trends—from clothing design to larger questions of agency and power.

In this bonus, extended cut of Evan’s interview with Christopher Priest, they'll talk about what it was like to be a writer and editor on books like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Power Man and Iron Fist at Marvel from the ‘80s to the ‘00s, his friendship with fellow editor Larry Hama, and how Priest committed to finding his own voice as a creator during some of Marvel’s most creative eras.

With World War II and the Vietnam War as benchmarks, Lorraine and Evan look at how Marvel has responded to military conflict on its pages. Along the way, they explore the relationship between art and propaganda, and how a good idea can be used for both good and evil.
