So the bit on the first comic you read got me trying to remember mine. While I couldn't tell you for sure if these two were the first they are definitely from the first I remember reading at a friends house:
Amazing Spiderman 171
Amazing Spiderman 184
Man I miss those little boxes featuring the characters in the corners of the covers and the great $.30 price tags :)
I still dig Nova to this day as a result of that issue where as a kid I wondered what some strange "Frogman" on the cover was doing to him and Spidey.
I am kind of bummed that my question/request didn't make it to the podcast this week.
"I am kind of bummed that my question/request didn't make it to the podcast this week."
What was it?
It'll happen this week.
Promise.
Awesome. Thanks Devon.
Just met Mike C. in San Diego and really, really liked him. (Plus I've always been impressed with his work.) I'm looking forward to hearing what he has to say on the pcast, and of course hearing the rest of the B-Monk Krew.
Oh, I left my note on the LAST Podcast announcement post.
I love the show, but could the levels be worked on? Having to turn the volume up and down, up and down all through the show.
Yes, that's right: I'm an ungrateful ho. But even so, if you could do a dramatic reading from the Silver Age Teen Titans (reprinted in Showcase form!) from the story /A Killer Called Honey-Bun/, I would burst with joy.
I, too, am an ungrateful ho. BMPC is fantastic, but constantly having to adjust the volume can be a bit trying. Wearing headphones while recording might help - not sure if your set up lends itself to that but the other option is to just build a full studio and record the podcast a la an old-timey radio show. I'd much prefer that. Keep up the good work.
I always thought it was pronounced DEV-on rather than dev-ON....there ya go, I guess...
OMG I am in lust with Blockade Boy purely because of his voice. Is that wrong?
It's Wild Weasel, dammit!
Foley, Wicked Weasel is so much more fun!
I have to agree with that.
And that was a pretty great issue of G.I. Joe, now that you mention it.
Scip, I listened to the podcast at work today and it was wonderful. I loved your description of comics as morality plays. I wish I could make it up to DC this weekend for the sidewalk sale!
Upon enjoying another fine podcast (although it was missing an ineffable something), I am forced to conclude that Black Canary is the awesome, of that there is no doubt; I shall have to find some samples of this Mike Carey's work; Scipio truly is and always shall be the voice I associate with everyone's favourite Green Lantern; Devon is the rare brute who is manly enough to own up to his tears and, finally, I have been bested by Blockade Boy AND THAT SHALL NOT STAND!!!!
"it was missing an ineffable something)"
The Jons, I assume.
They shall return on tonight's podcast.
No.
More like dramatically read Human Bomb.
Can't it be both?
Say...
what if someone wants to contribute a little something to one of these, like a fake ad or a dramatic reading?
Perhaps mail a link to the D.C. Big Monkey e-mail address?
