Hey there, space travelers! Please join Ed Moore and I, as we start this journey covering the classic Rom Spaceknight series by Marvel Comics! The "Romnibus" volume one just came out earlier this year, and Ed and I decided to cover some Rom! It really is one of Marvel's best from that era, and we reminisce about the comic, and give some background on the toy as well! So grab your neutralizer and a...

Hey there, zany ones! My buddy Professor Alan from the Relatively Geeky podcast network is back and he brought a wacky comic to talk about! This World’s Finest is really off the chain, but don’t worry, we know exactly what Bob Haney was doing here…maybe. Download and listen in and hey, if you can figure out this comic, please write in! As usual, If you’d like to leave any feedback for the show, yo...

Hey everybody! It's time for more wolf action, as Al Sedano is back, and we've got two special issues to talk about! It's the first two appearances of Moon Knight!

As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email...

Hey there, all you vampire slayers! A very cool episode today (if I do say so myself!), as Bill Bere from the Bat-Pod is here with me to discuss one of his favorite characters in Blade the vampire slayer! I've talked about Blade before in the pages of Tomb of Dracula, but these stories are from the black and white magazines from the Bronze Age! Sometimes these magazines were a little more hardcore...

Hey everybody, my good pal Karen is back, and we've got a fantastically creepy film to talk about on this episode. Its the creepy kid sub-genre where going to focus in on in this episode, and it's a fantastic example of British horror! After talking about this film, Karen and I talk shop for a bit (Planet 8 that is), and their recent episodes (including Roger Corman!). So hit that download button...

Hey there, zany ones! My good buddy Evan Bevins is back, and we've got w two part story we affectionately call..."The Ruby Ryder Saga!" OK, we don't actually call it that, but we would've if we thought of it at the time. All kidding aside, we have a fantastic time talking about these two comics, and give all the praise to the creative team (Haney and Aparo)! So strap on your seatbelt, because the...

Hey everybody! The show is back, and even though there's chaos all around me right now (trying to figure out tech stuff I have no clue about), I'm getting things done...for now. As some of you may know, my good pal and Tomb of Dracula cohost, Scott West, is going through some tough times right now, so while he's taking care of some family business (link to a GoFundMe below), I've recruited a few o...

Hey everybody! Dr. Anj is back as we've extended our coverage of The Spectre! We have a fantastic issue of DC Comics Presents to talk about, and it's a doozy!

As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so throu...

Hey there all you phantoms! My good pal Jeremiah is back with me and we have a couple of solid issues of the Phantom Stranger to talk about.

All this and more await, so download and start listening! As usual, if you'd like to lave any feedba...

Hey everybody, my pal KGB is back, and we're here to check out the final issue of this fantastic mini series! Krona is really ramping up the body count, and Hal and the rest of the Corps looks down and out. But, don't count them out, as they show Krona and the universe what the Green Lanterns Corps is all about! So charge up that power ring, and head out into space, and join the Corps! As usual, i...

Hey all you werewolves! Monster Matt Patterson is back, and we've got a fantastic movie to talk about! This one predates the much more famous "The Wolfman" by six years! It's seemingly a forgotten film by most, but don't overlook it, as it has some very redeeming qualities and laid the groundwork for future werewolf films. Matt and I have a blast talking about this one, and it definitely should be...

Hey there, zany ones! My Phantom Stranger cohost (on my Bronze Age of Horror Comics podcast), Jeremiah, has joined me to talk about a fun story that teams up Batman with the Stranger! This one involves crooks and voodoo, so you don't dare miss it...or JJG will make a voodoo doll in your likeness!

Hey everybody! My pal Dallan is back (after a way too long hiatus), and since he's one of the biggest Conan fans I know, I couldn't wait to talk about the best barbarian around. Dallan picked this fantastic issue of the Savage Sword of Conan magazine, and we have an awesome time talking about it. So, hit that play button and join us! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you...

Hey there, zany ones! My pal Clinton (Coffee and Comics, Days of High Adventure podcasts) has stopped by to talk about a Bob Haney gem from Worlds Finest! This was a cover I’d seen many times before but never read! Huge thanks to Clinton for giving me the nudge to read and talk about it. It’s a glorious Haney romp! So, join us for a lot of laughs as we discover what in the world a Trillig is!

Hey everybody! Monster Matt is back, and we’ve got a favorite comic from his youth he wanted to discuss. He definitely didn’t have to twist my arm, as I’m a huge fan of The Defenders, too!

Hey everybody, it's time to get your silver bullets ready, because Al Sedano and I are hunting a werewolf! This time around we've got a couple of stories that are very contrasting! Both have their strong points and failings, but we had a blast as usual. So, get ready for some action in this realm and another! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email a...

Hey there, zany ones! My pal Evan is back, and we have one of the zaniest comics ever written by Mr. Haney. Batman goes up against a fiery female named Ruby Ryder! No, she doesn't do adult films, but she is a female tycoon that rivals Bruce Wayne! This story has some of the wildest dialogue and kooky situations that you'll ever see. So jump on the crazy train along with us, and be ready! As usual,...

Hey there all you demons! Ed is back and we’re finishing off Jack Kirby’s The Demon! We originally had plans for one more episode of coverage (16 plus a DCCP issue), but decided to squeeze these three books together so we can move forward with another project (announced at the end of this episode!). But don’t worry, we give Etrigan a good send off! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback...

Hey everybody! My buddy Mike is back, and we're back with our journey through the Hammer films Frankenstein series! This fifth installment of the franchise has some really high moments, but one that just doesn't belong, but no spoilers, as we get to that about 3/4's of the way though the conversation. So, get your scalpel sharpened, and get ready for the show! As usual, if you'd like to leave any...

Hey there all you phantoms! Jeremiah is back, and we've got a duo of issues to talk about in this episode! These issues are very strong material, and we gush over them for the duration. They're both vastly different stories, but strong for sure. So, don't touch that dial, just sit back and listen in! As usual, if you'd like to leaver any feedback, you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonster...

Hey there, zany ones! It's time to dive headfirst into another Brave and the Bold adventure! My pal Terry is back here with this fun pick, so get ready for a good time. Batman must bring in the traitorous Green Lantern, but the Commies aren't about to let their newest ally go without a fight! Psychedelic torture, green tea, and Batman shooting a gun...? This one has it all! As usual, if you'd like...

Hey everybody! My good pal Ed Moore is here and we've got two crazy issues of Jack Kirby's The Demon to talk about!

Hey everybody! Ross is back, and as always, I've found an insane comic for us to talk about! No, not Zany Haney, but by Gardner Fox! Ross and I have a blast with this one, as we talk about well, gorillas, IEDs, and and terrible schemes concocted by apes. As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Bi...

As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com o...

Hey everybody, Ranger Gord (Prairie Justice; a Greg Saunders Vigilante podcast) is back! He's super excited to talk about this movie, as he's a big historian, and fan of the plot as well. This was a first time viewing for me, but not Ranger Gord! He's a huge fan of this one, and a huge historian as well, so we have a great time discussing this timepiece. As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedba...
