Welcome to Untold Origin, a podcast where comics and history collide. My name is Al Miller, a historian and lifelong comic book reader, and in this podcast I explore where those two worlds meet. From Marvel Comics icons like the X-men, the Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man to DC legends like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, we will examine how these stories reveal more than just adventure, they mirror pivotal moments and currents in American history. Whether it's the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War to the evolution of feminism and the War on Drugs, Untold Origin uncovers how superheroes reflect our struggles, hopes, and philosophies over the course of our history.
