This time out, we've got a selection of segments that I did for other people's podcasts. First up is a segment on Space Family Robinson Comics #1, originally produced for SciFiDig. Next is a segment on the Old Time Radio Show, The Many Lives of Harry Lime that I did for The Book Cave. And last is a segment on comics for the iPhone (and other devices of that ilk) for Indie Comic Book Noise.

Lyle, Van, and I are back to talk about the Superhero titles from Marvel cover date July 1962, Fantastic Four #5, and Incredible Hulk #2. Besides a rundown of the stories and our comments about anything and everything in the issues, Van tells us about some of the other things that were going on in April 1962, when these issues were probably actually on the newsstand. If you'd like to read along with us and be a (sort of) part of the show, you can read these issues in: Marvel Masterworks Fantastic Four Volume One Marvel Essentials Fantastic Four Volume One Incredible Hulk Masterworks Volume One Incredible Hulk Essentials Volume One Marvel Digital Comics Online Marvel Comics Digital DVD sets (this Amazon page pretty well summarizes the sets, but buy from your favorite bookstore)

Disclaimer 1: Mark asked for this (look here) so any complaints should be directed at Mark and not Stephen and I! Disclaimer 2: All opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of the participants (well they are, but we'll never admit it!) First up, some TV talk. A bumper from Ric Croxton of the Book Cave Podcast (of which I've been a guest twice now!) Then some comic talk, and we eventually even get to our BOP's (the bottom of the pile - the book we saved for last)

Lyle Tucker, Van Reid, and I, summarize and discuss the 4th issue of Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk #1 as well as set the stage with other events that were going on at the time that these issues were on the newstand. Other comics that were cover dated May 1962 can be found here at: My Comic Shop   Please leave comments here or email me at: komicskast@gmail.com

This time out, due to a major cold, I decide NOT to highlight what's going on in the rest of the comics universes, but jump right into our recaps and comments regarding the two superhero books that Marvel put out in January 1961, Fantastic Four 2, and Tales to Astonish 27 (the latter has only a marginal superhero connection, but you'll hear all about that!) I'm joined by my good friends Lyle Tucker and Van Reid, and even if no one listening enjoys this, I can tell you, I DID! My favorite sources: Grand Comic Book Database Marvel Month by Month

Since Marvel didn't publish any superhero titles cover dated December 1961, it's given me the chance to take a look at the comics of other publishers from that month. Neither of the books is a superhero book either, not that there weren't some being published, but both Turok Son of Stone 26 and Sea Devils 2 have a bit of Sci Fi, fantasy to them. I also talk a bit about a comic that's very special to me, and why: Superman Annual 3. I want to thank my friend Stan Jones for loaning me the Turok comic.

After a four month hiatus, KomicsKast is back with the first of what we hope will be many, breakdowns of comics by month. While the focus is on Marvel, we'll be talking about comics from many different companies. This time it's November 1961, the month Fantastic Four #1 came out (cover date).

I know, it was just yesterday that I uploaded the last audio blog, but I had a lot to say! This time I talk about (review?) Volume One of the Complete Gasoline Alley Dailies (Walt and Skeezix), and Volume One of the Complete Dick Tracy.

This time I discuss my errant ways, Classic Comic strip groups on Yahoo, and the ComicZeal comic reading program for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

And not only are we back with a new BOP, but Aaron Macom joins us live from the Mid Ohio Con (okay, he's actually in his car at the Mid Ohio Con, but give us a break!). Aaron's Flickr page of photos from Mid Ohio Con.Chad CicconeAfter Aaron gets done (and if you know Aaron, you'll know why we had to wait until he was done!) Jon, Stephen, and I talk about our BOP's (which you may recall, stands for Bottom of the Pile or the thing that we saved for last - the best).

I think the subject line pretty much says it all except for the links:http://goldenagecomics.blogspot.com/http://asgardpress.com/

I think the title of this episode says it all! I pretty much tell you about all the "STUFF" I bought in the the last week!!!

Besides the new Marvel direct to DVD feature Next Avengers, I talk about my thoughts on Opening Atlantis by Harry Turtledove (after finishing it) and first impressions on starting Sebastian Faulk's new Bond novel, Devil May Care. Also my thoughts on the comic collections, Where's Dennis by Hank Ketchum, and Tall Tales by Al Jaffee.

Comics and books I got at the comic shop this week, comics and books I got in the mail, and comics and books that I picked up at the con last week. Noel Sickles, Chris Sanders and Kiskaloo, and understanding what's going on in Atomic Robo...

My recent visits to the chiroprator, an Iron Pigs ball game this weekend, the comics I bought last week, a book I'm reading, and one I'm listening to, and some comics I won from the Comic Book Attic podcast (comicbookattic.libsyn.com) arrived.
