    Oct 25 2025

    We're joined by Grace to talk about FRIGHT, written by GARY FRIEDRICH with art by FRANK THORNE. This may have been a Tomb of Dracula clone with a younger twist. We'll never know, but we know David Anthony Kraft was waiting in the wings to take over writing duties...but it wasn't meant to be.

  • S07E16: Atlas/Seaboard - Wulf the Barbarian (w/ Jared from Swords & Scrolls!)
    Sep 13 2025

    For our final season, we're covering the short life of Martin Goodman's Atlas/Seaboard comics by reviewing all the debut issues from their line.

    We're joined by Jared from the SWORDS & SCROLLS podcast to talk about WULF THE BARBARIAN, written and drawn by LARRY HAMA with inks by KLAUS JANSON. Hama created a character who's a "barbarian" in name only. "Wulf the Warrior" would have been a better name, but we suspect the shot-callers were chasing Conan's audience.

  • S07E14: Atlas/Seaboard - Vicki
    Aug 16 2025

    Martin Goodman wanted to offer a robust & varied line of comics to compete with Marvel, DC, et al, so he needed a teen-humor mag. He used the art from Tower's TIPPY TEEN (1965-69) and only changed the main character's name...et voila...something to compete with Archie and the gang!

    We briefly talk about the history of Archie and its clones and then proudly present THREE Vicki stories Power Records-style with real teens as voice talent, sound effects, and original music.
