Random Acts of Comics

Spider-Man Clone Caucus pt 1

Many have written of what went on in those meetings, of the hushed plans formulated behind those closed conference room doors. Speculation, all of it. A patchwork legend sewn from snippets of overheard conversations, misinterpreted mutterings, and muted tirades heard through thick skyscraper walls. But never from the writers who were actually there, doing the work, bleeding the blood, crying the tears. Until now. * There is a 'ding' sound on Terry's channel. Have no idea why. Maybe he was baking potatoes? Also, Howard Mackie is the one who sounds like RFK Jr.

Walter Simonson, Part 2 — The second in a series. The master storyteller is back in the studio to give us the incredible behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the original ALIEN graphic novel and how he was able to draw it without having seen the movie. Also, the Sinking of the Bismarck.

*This episode features a moment from "Sway" by The Rolling Stones

Mark Chiarello—"Mark swung his chair around to face me as I entered the room, a look of wild concern on his face. I had Johnny, the Rousseau kid with me, we were looking for lunch. 'Hey, Man!' Mark said, 'Where did my podcast go? I've listened to every episode now three times!' And that's the only reason we brought the podcast back. For Mark."

John Burgin -- I once told John that he looked a bit like Sir Alec Guinness and I think I hurt his feelings 'cause all he knew was old Obi-Wan Kenobi Alec Guinness but I was talking about young Alec Guinness from, like, the 50s when he was in all those hilarious Ealing movies that Nick Cardy made me watch. Take a look. I'm not wrong. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Pal.

The first time I met Cully was when he came to play volleyball with our old Woodstock volleyball gang. He was new and just visiting, so we took it easy on him. But in truth he was crap. I truly believe though, that if he had lived closer, he could have been one of the great ones. Maybe even go professional. But he code to stick with art instead. So we'll never know.

Ahoy, Gang! Here is a free taste of one of our premiere shows on our Patreon called, "Does This Come In Chromium with host, Matt Anderson! On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Matthew Dow Smith (writer/artist THE OCTOBER GIRL) turn out the lights to find out if the story contained within the pages of 1993's THE SPECTRE #13 shines brighter than its glow-in-the-dark cover. How is it that a comic published in 1993, set in a fictional country, featuring (the always cool) Count Vertigo, and starring a character with god-like powers can feel so relevant and relatable to today? Plus, Matt shares his opinion that the duo of John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake make for one of the greatest collaborations in all of comics (actually, this is not an opinion - it's an undeniable fact), while Matthew shares his true feelings on The Spectre (you'll have to listen to find out what they are). Also, they discuss Matthew's time as artist on the DAY OF JUDGEMENT series (written by Geoff John) and what it was like helping create a brand new Spectre. This is a jam packed episode - so don't miss it! Contact the show: [email protected]

Ahoy, Gang!

Here is a leaked episode of our exclusive RAOC Bookclub series available on our Patreon.

Todd is joined by John Pasquini, as they embark on a deep dive of Batman & Robin : Year One by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee.

Darryl Banks—There's a difference between a firm handshake and a hard handshake. One is a gesture of acknowledgement and respect. The other is a cowardly attempt to assert some measure of dominance. Bullies do this. Darryl Banks' handshake is a furtive invitation to a journey of enlightenment and peace. But…will you accept…?
