Our first episode is here, and it’s a big one! Join Curt and Kevin as they tackle Fantastic Four issues 48-50, introducing two of the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe—none other than that great-granddaddy of king-sized crumbums, the world-devouring Galactus, and his shreddin’ sentinel of the spaceways, the Silver Surfer! Will their combined cosmic might be enough to deliver this titanic tale into that heavenly host of four-color funnybooks … The Comics Canon?
Things discussed in this episode:
- Galactus’ questionable wardrobe choices!
- Stan “The Man” Lee’s passive-aggressive caption writing!
- The senses-stunning synergy of “Joltin’” Joe Sinnott and Jack “King” Kirby!
- The Black Racer: A bridge too far?
- The Fantastic Four as supporting players in their own comic!
- The Silver Surfer: from heel to hero (and this book, which Curt mentions around the 25:00 mark)!
- And the pulse-pounding excitement of superhero college registration!
