Comic Reader Résumé 0022 (May 1986)
ré·su·mé [rez-oo-mey, rez-oo-mey] noun1. a summing up; summary. 2. a brief written account of personal, educational, and professional qualifications and experience, as that prepared by an applicant for a job.
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 Elvira's House of Mystery #6, Fantastic Four #293, G.I. Joe a Real American Hero #50, Marvel Age #41, Marvel Saga: the Official History of the Marvel Universe #9, Masters of the Universe #3, Son of Ambush Bug #2-3, Spectacular Spider-Man #117, The Mighty Thor #370, Uncanny X-Men #208, Web of Spider-Man #18, West Coast Avengers #12, X-Factor #7, and more!

The DC Bloodlines Podcast: Milestone Worlds Collide
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...

The DC Bloodlines Podcast: Black Lightning & Static
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.

Amazing Heroes Podcast: Blackthorne Publishing's Timeline Book Two: Deluxe Graphic Novel Series
Thanks to soft sales and a troubled market, Blackthorne’s 1987 Timeline full color shared universe comic titles failed to launch, shuttering after just two of the proposed ten books shipped their first issues. This is the conclusion of their story, as material is released in various formats and in fits and starts, when it appears at all, beginning the following year. Who will survive, and what will be left of them?

Amazing Heroes Podcast: Blackthorne Publishing's Timeline Color Comics
Episode #5
What if the rollout of a proposed small press full color super-heroic shared universe came out more like an Agatha Christie murder mystery? It's Ten Little Launch Titles, with a host of announced established talents across 1987-- but how many of the names will show up, which titles will actually see release, in what format, and when exactly? Diabolu Frank is on the case, and his suspects include Neal Adams, David Ammerman, Arnel Avetria, Dell Barras, Dante Barreno, Mark Beachum, Norm Breyfogle, Frank Cirocco, Sam de la Rosa, Tony DeZuniga, Jan Duursema, Dennis Francis, Dante Fuget, Mike Gustovich, Mark Wayne Harris, Phil Haxo, Doug Hazlewood, Rich Hedden, Jack Herman, Bob Ingersoll, Peter Iro, Bruce Jones, Michael William Kaluta, Joe Kubert, Victor Laszlo, Tom Mandrake, Lee Marrs, Cliff MacGillivray, Tom McWeeney, Chris Miller, Adrian Moro, Kevin Nowlan, Steve Perry, Jim Reddington, Rico Rival, P. Craig Russell, Dan Schaeffer, Greg & Terry Shoemaker, Jim Starlin, John Stephenson, Greg Swan, Danny Taver, Dan Tolentino, Albert Val, Bob Versandi, Charles Vess, B. J. Weiss, Louis Williams, & Nollie Zamora. Can you figure out the truth before we relay it?

Comic Reader Résumé #15: Summer Job (July - 1985)
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 All-Star Squadron #50, Bananas #31 & 69, Blue Devil #17, Crisis on Infinite Earths #7, DC Comics Presents Annual #4, Dreadstar and Company #5, Elfquest #3, The Encyclopedia of Superheroes, Longshot #2-3, Mad Magazine #264 & 270, Marvel Age #8, 16, 22, & 27, Secret Wars II #5, Nathaniel Dusk II #1, The All New, All Daring Peter Parker, the Spectacular #107, The World Encyclopedia of Comics, and more!

Diana Prince Wonder Woman Podcast #21: Year of the Cheetah- Priscilla Rich in The Silver Age
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...

Cribbed from various internet sources:
Brisco and Socrates Poole head south of the border when the Westerfield Club orders them to recover guns stolen in a train robbery rumored to involve John Bly and his gang. There they find that Dixie Cousins is linked to both the Mexican general and the revolutionaries vying for the guns, and that Pete Hutter was behind the theft. Plus, Chuck Connors talk.

Diana Prince Wonder Woman Podcast #20: Year of the Cheetah- Priscilla Rich in The Golden Age
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.
