    A great show that I’ve been really enjoying. I particularly love the horror focused stuff, although the other comic episodes are really entertaining as well. Looking forward to more episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! Eerie 46, 1973 w/Kirby!
Q: What stood out most about Dracula in this issue, artistically and narratively?
Kirby explains that Tom Sutton's horror-driven, atmospheric black-and-white art elevates Dracula beyond standard pulp, while the use of bat-shaped thought balloons and dynamic paneling creates a moody, cinematic feel that defines the Dracula-in-Earth arc.
Magazines and Monsters Ep 168, Amazing Adventures 20, 1973 w/Derek Kunsken!
Q: What do you think of this splash page?
It's all energy and action, with a very Kirby-esque sense of motion and a composition that draws the eye through the chaos toward the central characters.
The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! The Incredible Hulk 197/198, 1976 w/Evan Bevins!
Q: How do you feel the two-part Hulk story balances horror with superhero action?
The two issues mix moody, horror-tinged artwork with rousing monster battles, and they pull in other strange elements (like the Glob and the Man-Thing) to tilt the plot toward a surreal, pulp-noir vibe without losing the core Hulk dynamic.
The Brave and the Bob! Episode 76, The Brave and the Bold 150, 1979 w/Mart Gray!
Q: What do you make of Batman with eyeballs and the use of heat vision and other powers in this story?
The dialogue about Batman's eyes and the unusual panel choices reflect the era's experimental art style, and while some readers find the visual flair appealing, others may prefer more traditional depictions; overall it's a bold aesthetic choice that fits the 1970s experimental mood.
The Brave and the Bob! Episode 76, The Brave and the Bold 150, 1979 w/Mart Gray!
Q: What do you think of this anniversary issue as a wrap-up for the Fifty-Six era Brave and the Bold run?
The issue reads as a lively, busy celebration of Haney and Apparo's long collaboration, with a guest star who adds novelty while the core dynamic remains Batman chasing a wild, offbeat mystery; it's entertaining, though some readers might wish for a tighter capstone rather than the rapid, multi-thread storytelling.
