Hey there, zany ones! My buddy Dr Anj is back, and we have a doozy of a comic for you! Can Batman and Wildcat defeat the crazed Joker? What does a dog named Spot have to do with this caper?

The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! Marvel Classics Comics 20, 1977 "Frankenstein" w/ Fantastic Comic Fan!

Hey everybody, I have my buddy Ron (Fantastic Comic Fan podcast) back for a short form episode, as a little extra something for Halloween. Most of my content came out every Sunday in October, but I thought it would be cool to have Ron on the show to talk about this hidden gem. This title doesn't get talked about much, but there are a couple of horror books for those of us that are fans of the genre! Interesting creative team that brings a faithful adaptation, and solid artwork. So, tune in to fi

Magazines and Monsters Episode 80, Planet of the Vampires (1965) w/ Scott West!

Hey there all you planetary vampires! My good buddy Scott West is here to help me close out my Mario Bava coverage for the spooky season in 2023! We saved a great one for last, and we couldn't wait to get rolling! After we talk about our history with this film and Bava, we deep dive on this very influential film. This one is very interesting, and for a low budget film, it really does a fine job with its special effects, and the costumes are fantastic. So, join us as we travel to a far away solar

Hey there, forbidden followers! Jeremiah is back, and he's brought along a creepy anthology horror book from DC comics for the spooky season! It's been a while since he and I have had the chance to record, but never fear, we'll get back to more Phantom Stranger after Halloween, but for now, we get to sit down and speak on two scary tales from this lesser-known title!

The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! House of Secrets 105, 1973 w/ Mart Gray!

Hey there, all you horror fiends! For the first time ever, I've got my good buddy Mart Gray on the show! He's a big fan of the horror comics, and tis the season as they say, right? He picked a really fun issue from the House of Secrets, and he and I (and Abel) will try our best to gleefully present the three stories inside this book. Mart synopsizes the first and third stories with his usual dramatic flare, and I cover the second one that's a bit of an odd edition to the comic. But, it does have

Hey everybody! It's week three of my Halloween Mario Bava coverage! My buddy Jeremiah is here with me (we typically cover Phantom Stranger, and other wacky oddities), and we dive headfirst into the madness of this proto-slasher film! It's a bit of an odd one in my humble opinion, but also very fascinating. An interesting cast that we talk about as well as the differences between Bava's previous films and this one. This was a first watch for JJG, and I love it when a guest is coming in raw, wheth

Hey there, all you Batty listeners! My pal Chris Bailey is back, and we're here for the spooky season to talk about some horror themed Batman comics! These books were chosen for two big reasons, and we get into that right away on this episode. From the late Bronze Age or Copper Age, if you will, Gerry Conway really upped the ante with a very creepy story, and then add the atmospheric horror talents of Gene Colan, and you've got a winner. So, join Chris and I on this Halloween themed journey! As

So, don't pick up that telephone, steal a ring from

The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! Adventure Comics 437, 1975 w/ Dr. Anj!

Hey there, all you spirits of vengeance! Dr Anj is back, and we're covering one very sadistic comic book! Normally, we see the Spectre do all the dirty work, but in this story, we get to see the villain employ some pretty heinous acts, too. This issue also brings a slight change in the art team as well, but no worries, it's still top notch. Plus, we briefly hit on the Aquaman backup, as it has a kooky story (Paul Levitz) and great art (Mike Grell). So grab your hypnotizing glasses from the comic

Plus a wonky Aquaman backup story that we'll touch on as well. As usual, you can send any feedback for the show through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licio

We also talk about the elephant...or Superman in the room in this issue as well. What was Fleischer trying to convey with this "special appearance" or was it just a bit of fun

Well, if you've made it this far, get ready, because this third episode is definitely giant sized! Ed is back with me again, and we tackle the final installment of this series. This one is a bit unique that it's all reprints, but they're all recent reprints. Don't worry, Ed and I will explain everything (wink and nod to the Checkered Past podcast)! The stories in this one are top notch for sure, as the list of creators is a who's who of Marvel Comics from the this era. A fantastically hilarious

Hey everybody! It's time for more Marvel anthology comics, and I've got Ed Moore back with me for another round of horror stories!

Don't worry, though, Ed and I had a blast with this oversized book, and can't wait to roll through it with you!

The Bronze Age of Horror Comics! The Demon 1, 1972 w/ Ed Moore (Teal productions)!

Hey there all you demons! It's about time I had Ed Moore back on the show, and we're starting a new series in grand fashion! The King of Comics, Jack Kirby, created so many fantastic comic book characters, it was tough to decide which one to dive into, but then it occurred to me that I own all sixteen issues of this series, plus it's not one that I've seen covered a lot either, so why not jump in. This is a longer episode, as we not only cover the first issue, but our thoughts on Kirby, and our

It stars two of my all time favorite actors, in Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, plus a few other British horror regulars as well!

I'm slowly dipping my toe back into the horror anthology realm, and Luke picked a really fun book. This one contains one new story and three reprints from the Atlas era of Marvel.

But, we'll also be talking about the remake from 2006 as well (Yes, the bees!). The original stars one of our all time favorite horror actors, in Christopher Lee! This film is one of a kind, and really ramped up the craziness, especially in the folk horror sub-genre.  As usual, you can contact the show by email at Magazinesandm

Magazines and Monsters Episode 14, Savage Sword of Conan 7, 1975

Hey everybody! In this fun episode, I had my buddy Clinton Robison (Coffee and Comics, Days of High Adventure) stop in, and we both love to talk some Conan, so we chatted about one of our favorite stories! This character had a great run at Marvel comics, with not only a conventional comic book, but also in the line of black and white magazines as well! We'll talk about this story, and our thoughts in general on Conan and the sword and sorcery genre as well!  As usual, you can contact the show th

Magazines and Monsters Episode 13, Dr Doom in "...Though Some Call it Magic!"

Hey everybody, get ready for another episode of Magazines and Monsters! This episode is one I've been really looking forward to because I was able to sit down with my good pal, Professor Alan, from the Relatively Geeky Network! And as he's contractually obligated to do so, we had to talk about Dr. Doom! This story is one that is part of the character's incredible foundation, and is a must read (Astonishing Tales 8, 1971, Gene Colan Tribute book, 2008).  As usual, you can contact the show with fe

Magazines and Monsters Episode 10, City of the Dead (1960)

Hey everybody, Herman and I are back with more horror for you! This time around, we're talking about a proto-Amicus film (by Subotsky and Rosenberg), called City of the Dead (1960, Horror Hotel in the U.S.)! We really love this one for a few different reasons, but none bigger than the fact that Christopher Lee is the star! Witches, zombies, sacrificial daggers, and a burning at the stake! Join us, if you can stand the heat.   As usual if you have any feedback you can email the show at Magazinesa

Magazines and Monsters Episode 9, The Brave and the Bold 149, 1979

Welcome back to another episode of Magazines and Monsters! This time around, I'm covering a zany comic from the Bronze Age of DC comics! My partner for this one is Sean Ross, from the Pulp 2 Pixel network, and podcasts such as Secret Wars and Beyond (The Squadron Supreme coverage was great!) the Never Ending Reading Pile, and now the co-host of the Bat-Pod. We're covering The Brave and the Bold 149, 1979! This comic has my favorite DC creative team in Bob 'Zany' Haney and Jim Aparo! The insane m

Magazines and Monsters Episode 8 - Night of the Eagle (1962)

Hey everybody! Herman and I are back with another film discussion! Night of the Eagle (1962) is a good one from a smaller studio (as in not Hammer or Amicus), but really delivers the goods! The film is actually based on a very good novel, Conjure Wife (by Fritz Lieber, and we'll talk about it, too) about witchcraft in the setting of a small British university. If you haven't seen this film yet, definitely give it a watch before listening in (spoilers ahoy, as usual). The film stars Peter Wyngard

Magazines and Monsters Episode 7, EC comics; Shock Suspenstories!

Welcome to the latest episode of Magazines and Monsters! In this episode, I'll be talking with Mike (his twitter - ComicsintheGoldenAge), from the Comics in the Golden Age Podcast! Mike and I will be discussing three incredibly awesome stories from EC comics title Shock Suspenstories (two from issue 6 and one from issue 5). These tales of horror were groundbreaking to say the least, especially when you consider they were published in 1952! Get ready for the gore, as Al Feldstein, Bill Gaines, Wa

Magazines and Monsters Episode 6, Unearthly Stranger (1964)

Hey everybody! I'm back with yet another discussion about a film. This time, I'm welcoming a brand new guest! Karen, from the comic book blog (1/2 Karen, 1/2 Doug!) Bronze Age Babies, and she's also a co-host of the Planet 8 podcast, and even has her own solo blog, Echoes from the Satellite! She is without a doubt one of the biggest sci-fi fans I know, so I asked her to come onto the show to discuss this rare British film from the 1960s! We dive into this one and try to dissect what the film is

Magazines and Monsters episode 5, Salem's Lot (1979)

Hey all you ghouls! I'm back with another movie review with my old pal Herman Louw! This time out we will be talking about one of our favorite television productions, Salem's Lot (1979/80)! This two-part movie from director Tobe Hooper took some liberties with the source material (the Stephen King novel), but is still an outstanding representation. Join us for a dive into this vampiric masterpiece, as we dissect and applaud it, and the novel as well!  As always you can send feedback to the show

This time, we'll be taking a ride on the Amicus Studios express, and dive into Dr. Terror's House of Horrors from 1965. The first of their Portmanteau (anthology) films, and quite possibly the best...? We'll give our thoughts on this one, and even preview what we'll be up to in our other adventures!
