Longshot's look was based on Kajagoogoos (80'ties band) singer Limahl. Arthur Adams was not a Golden rip-off...both were from the school of Will Eisner much as Ploog and several others. Good show, guys.Copenhagen Con next year? : )
The Detective Comic from show and tell has a letter published from a friend of mine he wrote when he was a kid. CBCS let him sign it and they graded it and authenticated his signature. It’s pretty cool
The fight over the Peach Momoko cover reminds me of the famous footage from here in Sydney several years ago of two women fighting over the last pack of toilet paper in the supermarket during our Covid lockdown. If we're locked down again I won't fight for the toilet paper, I'll just use copies of Spawn. I remember that Warlord/Green Arrow meeting, Grell definitely played it for laughs. And I agree John, when Grell was writer and artist on the title, Warlord was great fun and touched on all the conspiracy theories of the 70s like the Bermuda Triangle, von Daniken's alien gods and Atlantis and other lost civilizations. Does this mean that the Paramount movie/s will feature Phoenix, the Grim Ghost and Wu Teh as well as the previously announced Devilina? And a Wu Teh action figure, really? As John points out, only one issue published! Further, I still don't understand why Paramount chose Devilina as the kick-off character. On the other hand, with so few comics published, it's not hard to collect every comic from Atlas-Seabord (except for the hard to find Gothic Romances b/w magazine). Richard, I too was dumbfounded after finishing Alan Moore's "The Anatomy Lesson" all those years ago. But I'd also like to acknowledge the earlier issues by Martin Pasko and the wonderful Tom Yeates every one of which I really enjoyed. Thanks for another great show guys.
The line for that Peach Spawn book at NYCC was LOOONNNGGGG and crazy. You've obviously heard about the fight, which I missed, but the line literally clogged up the con. It was a pain. Overall NYCC was fun but it seems like the actual comic book vendors seem to shrink every year. The highlight for me was getting my X-Men 1 signed by Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Chris Claremont. Sidenote I did finally get a copy of Marvel Super Heroes 20, but only at a CGC 5.0.
Richard mentioned a few excellent stories by Alan Moore. Moore's Supreme series was also excellent. The story is hard to find but there is an out-of-print set of trade paperbacks of the Supreme series.
As a follow up to the MEGO Atlas/Seaboard toys, I forgot to mention that in the back of the toys are reprints of the comics (if I'm remembering right). Just FYI...
I was wondering, as you talk about that Thor book and the reveal of doom and his face, is there an anthology of all the different Dr doom appearances? That would truly make an amazing book in and of itself.
Question for the experts! We are seeing more and more reprints and facsimile editions come out. Does it hurt the value of the original books or specific reprints like Golden Record? I imagine it is book dependent but curious about your thoughts.
When DC took Vertigo out back beging the barn and unceremoniously shotgunned the imprint for no apparent reason, i was so mad that i seperated all my Vertigo books out into their own short boxes
Thoughts on the captain America run ending at issue 16? I read the first six issues of the series. I thought it was extremely boring. From fixing up his apartment complex, to going to a theater, then traveling to another dimension. Give us a cap book of him doing some street level fighting.
1:53 somebody on Instagram already posted an UNSIGNED copy. When asked how the6 got it, they said their LCS hooked them up. So obviously there are unsigned copies that being held by someone/people. 4:03 I know you say to “stay classy” but at the end of the day, you wouldn’t speak up if someone was cutting the line? You just allow people to step in front of you? I speak up and say something. If the6 want to get tough over it then I’ll have no issue swinging away.
Expected Agatha to actually be the Agatha Harkness that Stan and Jack created. Which is justified because it bears the Marvel label. By all accounts, the show is Marvel in name only. Why do that if not to trick MCU fans into watching it? And nobody likes to be tricked.
39:28 the PWEI reference made my heart happy

Bruce Wayne city planner. I'm in stitches. Bruce Wayne land survey I'm all down
Great book Richard that MSH 20 is a square bound with a black cover so 9.6 is AMAZING!!!
This is the highest graded comic show I watch, apart from 5 others!
This made me laugh harder than I’d like to admit!
300 were signed. Shops got unsigned versions of that spawn 357. They are popping up as well.
The line at the Atlas booth was like 200 people long it was crazy

that 9.6 doom is insane

There is a video I watched on RUclips of an interview Brick Mantooth did with the toys' creators/designers and the owner of MEGO.

39:50 ♫ Alan Moore knows the score --- CAN YOU DIG IT? ♫
Once again we see Bronze and Modern Gods is the hippest comic podcast on the planet.
cue flames "by gawd, its Kane, its Kane!!!"
If I can't have an Atlas *Vicki* figure, I'll take none at all...!

The fight was over the Peach Spawn

Guys there was no fist fight that was fake news
As for Agatha, I refuse to watch a show about the Fantastic Four's nanny. Plus I hated WandaVision...

No Absolute Legion of Super-Heroes? Guess the future is dead 😢
Yes there is 1st appearance of Marjorie in spawn 357 a new villain
Oh and it wasn’t really a fight some pushing some dude touched someone’s girlfriend nerd shit 😂
