  1. Great episode. I love that the 'bagging and boarding' contest has been such fodder for this show, both in memories and books! Always good to hear Capt. Entropy!

    I think a book with a bunch of pages without words that then turns out to be a dream sequence would be an extremely hard sell. Maybe if Walt Simonson or Frank Quitely drew it, the art might make it worth it. But this sounds like 'worth a thin dime' comic to me.

    The conversation I was more interested in was the 'golden age' of comics. For me, I think that period is more the 15-18yr old time period. Of course, that time for me (based on age) is the middle of the 80s - Crisis, American Flagg, Baxter Legion including 5YL, Denny ONeils Question ; Alan Moore's Miracleman, Swamp Thing, and V for Vendetta; and the post-Legends DC explosion of creativity. All that stuff still sings to me. It was the right time for a more literate comic world to hit me.

    I think similarly, if you are a wrestling fan, the 'best era of Wrestling' is when you were 12-15. That is my sweet spot.

    And I won't comment too much on how a lot of things became less fun once I was married. (And how much things became more fun when that ended!)

    1. i think the key to a good comic book podcast is balancing good conversation about a specific comic book and good conversation about comic-book and geek culture, with a few entertaining stories tossed in here and there.
