With the Comics Code loosening in 1971, monsters came roaring back into the pages of our favorite medium. Kids that grew up reading comics were now making them; many of them were members of the counter-culture. Throw in a desire to do something all-new (and some fads like kung-fu) and you have all the makings of a wild decade of comics.
Join Jacob Balcom & Matt Howell as they explore some of the craziest comics of the 1970s (and early '80s). Each season focuses on a different character.

    S05E29: Marvel Two-in-One #18 - Dark, Dark Demon-Night!

    We end the regular season with a team-up of sorts between The Scarecrow and the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing! Alicia Masters drags Ben Grimm to an art show in the Soho loft of Jess Duncan.
