In Comic Reader Résumé, I use Mike’s Amazing World of Comics to travel back through time via his virtual newsstand to the genesis point of my lifelong collecting of comics. From there, I can offer a “work history” of my fandom through my active purchasing of (relatively) new comic books beginning in January of 1982, when my interest in the medium went from sporadic and unformed to routine on through compulsive accumulation. To streamline the narrative and keep the subjects at least remotely contemporaneous, I will not generally be discussing what we call back issues: books bought long after their publication date. Sometimes, I will cover a book published on a given month that I picked up within a year or so that date, and I give myself an especially wide berth on this aspect in the first couple of “origins” episodes. We’ll get more rigidly on point as my memories crystallize and my “hobby” spirals out of control into the defining characteristic of my life (eventually outpacing squalor and competing neuroses.) It’s part personal biography, part industry history, and admittedly totally self-indulgent on my part. This episode includes Alpha Flight #36-37, Amazing Spider-Man #278-279, Avengers #269, Batman #397, Captain America #319-320, Conan the Barbarian #184, G.I. Joe a Real American Hero #49, Last Days of the Justice Society Special #1, Marvel Saga: the Official History of the Marvel Universe #8, Misty #5-6, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #8-9, Solomon Kane #6, Spectacular Spider-Man #116, Uncanny X-Men #207, X-Factor #6, and more!

Julia Raul returns to join Diabolu Frank for the finale of our JLMay 2023 / Milestone Media trilogy of episodes. Since the previous shows tended toward paired character spotlights, we have to take a kitchen sink approach now, looking at the first year-plus of the series Blood Syndicate & Icon and the earliest Shadow Cabinet, including its launch event "Shadow War." We also return to Hardware and Static through to the intracompany event "Worlds Collide," restoring our theme and mandate by mingling in with DC's Superman Family of titles (well, the creative teams that aren't afraid to drive through the dark side of town, anyway.) Along the way, we talk Vixen, Black Canary, Green Lantern John Stewart, Steel, and more. In case you missed it, these episodes have covered every story from the trade paperback The Brave and the Bold: Milestone, which means it's time to visit the early issues of Xombi, including David Kim's team-up with the Crispus Allen incarnation of The Spectre from The Brave and the Bold #25 in the story "Annihilating Angel" by John Rozum & Scott Hampton.
JLMay 2023 will cover the third volume of DC Comics' The Brave and the Bold (2007-2010), which ran 35 issues. There's only 31 days in the month, so we'll run a list of all the issues with links to the podcasts intent on covering them until the actual shows turn up, individual or in groups...

Five years later... somebody else covers Legion, because DC Bloodlines is back to Black with coverage of African-American & Latin heroes as part of a multitudinous podcasting crossover event! Julia Raul joins Diabolu Frank for an exhaustive discussion of Jefferson Pierce, A.K.A. Black Lightning, with an emphasis on his 1995 solo series (collected as Brick City Blues) and live action television show of 2018-21. Then they move on to Virgil Hawkins, of the 1993 Milestone Comics series Static (with a brisk overview of its first year) and the 2000-2004 animated show Static Shock. Finally, the two heroes team-up for 2009's "Last Time I Saw Paris" by Matt Wayne & Howard Porter from The Brave and the Bold #24.

From there, I can offer a  “work history” of my fandom through my active purchasing of (relatively)  new comic books beginning in January of 1982, when my interest in the  medium went from sporadic and unformed to routine on through compulsive  accumulation. To streamline the narrative and keep the subjects at least  remotely contemporaneous, I will not generally be discussing what we  call back issues: books bought long after their publication date.  Sometimes, I will cover a book published on a given month that I picked  up within a year or so that date, and I give myself an especially wide  berth on this aspect in the first couple of “origins” episodes. We’ll  get more rigidly on point as my memories crystallize and my “hobby”  spirals out of control into the defining characteristic of my life  (eventually outpacing squalor and competing neuroses.) It’s part  personal biography, part industry history, and admittedly totally  self-indulgent on my part.

In Comic Reader Résumé, I use Mike’s Amazing World of Comics to travel back through time via his virtual newsstand to the genesis  point of my lifelong collecting of comics. From there, I can offer a  “work history” of my fandom through my active purchasing of (relatively)  new comic books beginning in January of 1982, when my interest in the  medium went from sporadic and unformed to routine on through compulsive  accumulation. To streamline the narrative and keep the subjects at least  remotely contemporaneous, I will not generally be discussing what we  call back issues: books bought long after their publication date.  Sometimes, I will cover a book published on a given month that I picked  up within a year or so that date, and I give myself an especially wide  berth on this aspect in the first couple of “origins” episodes. We’ll  get more rigidly on point as my memories crystallize and my “hobby”  spirals out of control into the defining characteristic of my life  (eventually outpacing squalor and competing neuroses.) It’s part  personal biography, part industry history, and admittedly totally  self-indulgent on my part.

This episode includes Amazing Spider-Man #262, Conqueror of the Barren Earth #1, Fantastic Four #275, G.I. Joe a Real American Hero #31-33, G.I. Joe Yearbook #1, Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #3-5, Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #10-12, The New Defenders #141, New Teen Titans #4, Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #99, Robotech Defenders #1, Thing #22, Uncanny X-Men #191 and more!

Year of the Cheetah: Priscilla Rich in The Silver Age

Frank returns after a mere five months off to post an actual second  episode in the same "Year of the Cheetah," featuring another guest cameo  from Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace podcast's Angela! The 2019 release of Wonder Woman 1984 is looking more like 2021, so we guess Warner Brothers plans to hold  out until we at least finish covering the appearances of the original  incarnation of the Cheetah. Gee, we hope it doesn't hurt their pocket  money in the meantime. Our coverage includes Priscilla Rich's two  published stories set on Earth-One during the Silver Age of Comics, Wonder Woman #160 & 166...

Year of the Cheetah: Priscilla Rich in The Golden Age

Frank returns after another year & a half's sabbatical to find... the Wonder Woman: Warrior for Peace podcast had returned from its own year of absence. To celebrate our both running again, Angela has an opening cameo to foreshadow her continuing appearances in a series of Cheetah-centric episodes to tide you over while Wonder Woman 1984 keeps being delayed. I bet Warner Brothers wish they'd just released  the sequel back in November of 2019 as originally planned. But we're  more interested in prequels today, as we travel back to the earliest  stories of the original incarnation of the Cheetah. We cover every one  of Priscilla Rich's published Golden Age stories set on Earth-Two,  including Sensation Comics #22 & 36, Wonder Woman #6, 28, 196, & 230, Comic Cavalcade #11, Crisis on Infinite Earths #5 & 9, and DC Special #3. Most especially, we survey the Wonder Woman newspaper strip from  November 20, 1944-March 30,1945, the most exhaustive and involved  version of the initial Cheetah saga.
