An Incredibly Long Brief History of G.I. Joe Comics! | 0

Brace yourself as your host, Steeven, launches the series with a thunderclap of origin stories, corporate back-room deals, and hard-earned nostalgia. From Hasbro’s humble fabric-shop beginnings to the public restroom handshake that sent Marvel into full-tilt toy-story mode, this is the raucous, unfiltered origin saga of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Ride through the decades: 12-inch dolls, kung-fu grips, file-card biographies, Marvel’s first gambit, Devil’s Due detours, IDW resurrection, and Skybound’s Energon mash-up — all throttled together with Steeven’s trademark wit, weird pop-culture clips, and a feverish, emotional love letter to the eighties. If you want context, you’ll get it. Listen if you like your history loud, your trivia obsessive, and your host gloriously unpretentious. Subscribe, crank the volume, and prepare for a briefing: G.I. Joe was never just a toy — it was the comic that taught a generation how to play. Yo Joe! Another G.I. Joe Podcast is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Conan the Barbarian #5 (Marvel: 1971) | Zukala's Daughter | 9

Prepare your steel and summon your courage because in this electrifying episode, Conan the Barbarian faces his most surreal challenge yet! Host Steeven Or Else dives sword-first into Conan the Barbarian #5, a 1971 Marvel masterpiece by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. In this issue, Conan tangles with Zukala, a flamboyant masked wizard with questionable fashion sense, and his daughter Zephyra, who doubles as a deadly tiger! With a demon tax collector prowling the land and a gaudy dragon-hilted sword on the line, Conan must navigate betrayals, sorcery, and a prophecy of doom that could spell disaster for our favorite barbarian. Marvel as Conan shatters masks, slays demons, and casually loots gold like the unapologetic force of nature he is. Steeven takes you on a raucous page-by-page journey, blending lore, laughs, and irreverent critiques of art that sees demons and tigers defy all color consistency. Plus, hear Steeven’s musings on Marvel’s early attempts to mix superheroes with Hyborian fantasy—and the eternal mystery of Conan’s "costume." This isn’t just an episode; it’s an odyssey into the heart of Hyborian chaos! So grab your cloak, dodge the tiger, and join us for a roaring good time. And remember—never underestimate Conan’s brains, brawn, or ability to walk off with the spoils. Enjoy! The Cromcast Season 18, Episode 9: Conan in Comics with Jim Zub!

Conan the Barbarian #6 (Marvel: 1971) | Devil-Wings Over Shadizar | 10

Brace yourselves, Hyborian adventurers! In this thrilling episode, Steeven Or Else plunges into the shadowy streets of Shadizar to dissect Conan the Barbarian #6, a 1971 Roy Thomas original with jaw-dropping art by Barry Windsor-Smith. This time, Conan faces a city full of scoundrels, a cult of red-robed fanatics, and a not-so-divine giant bat known as the Night-God. When an alluring blonde, Jenna, catches Conan’s eye, he finds himself cracking skulls, melting stolen gold into a suspiciously metaphorical heart, and awkwardly learning the finer points of romance—until cultists crash the date. What follows is a whirlwind of infiltrations, fiery brazier-swinging action, and a midair battle against a bat-beast that would terrify even Gotham’s Dark Knight! Can Conan save Jenna from the clutches of the monstrous Night-God? Will he ever escape the indignities of a yak-horned helmet? And what’s a barbarian to do when his gold—and his girl—vanish into the night? Steeven dives deep into this wild ride, offering insights, humor, and just the right amount of snark about cult logistics and the mysteries of giant bats. It’s a fiery tale of love, betrayal, and the enduring badassery of everyone’s favorite Cimmerian. Tune in, because this episode is a heart of gold (and may or may not be easier to carry)! This issue was published by Marvel Comics in March, 1971. Plus... Bloopers! Enjoy! Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Superman #11: Part Three (1941) | The Yellow Plague | 92

In this episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dive into one of Metropolis’s darkest criminal conspiracies — a case so bizarre, so sprawling, and so brutal that it stretches from hospital wards in the city to the cliffside tribes of South America. It begins like any nightmare: victims collapsing within minutes, skin turning yellow, their minds slipping into panic before death closes in. A 100% fatality rate — and no clues. Or so it seems. When a dying man gasps a single word — Chirroba — the investigation cracks open. Suddenly Clark and Lois find themselves drawn into a deadly web involving a cult of witch doctors, starved wolves, sabotage, and gangsters hiding behind tribal power. Even the police are forced into violence as the plague drives ordinary people to attack with axes, leaving officers no choice but to “put them down.” As Steeven and Ed dig through the evidence, they uncover the shocking truth: the outbreak wasn’t natural at all. From violent outbreaks to dynamite murders, from deception to a desperate chase for the cure, this is a case file unlike anything Metropolis has ever seen. And only one man can bring the criminals to justice — even if he has to drill through the Earth, fling wolves about by the tail, or retrieve a kidnapped prince chained in a cave full of snakes to do it. This is The Yellow Plague from Superman #11: conspiracy, murder, and mystery at Golden Age speed. Tune in… if you think you can handle the truth. Superman #11 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941. The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media. For more nerdy goodness like this episode, visit somanypodcasts.com.

Conan the Barbarian #1 (Marvel: 1970) | The Coming of Conan! | 5

Prepare yourselves for the beginning of an epic journey! In this milestone episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #1, the iconic Marvel Comics issue from 1970 that launched the Cimmerian into comic book stardom. With Roy Thomas's gripping script and Barry Windsor-Smith's early art style (a fascinating mix of promise and raw potential), this first issue brings Conan to life as a young warrior caught in the midst of a battle between the Aesir and Vanir—and an encounter with otherworldly forces that will shape his destiny. Witness the birth of Conan’s comic legacy as he battles winged demons, resists a scheming shaman, and glimpses a mysterious vision of his future—crown and all. Steeven dissects the issue’s breathtaking storytelling, Kirby-esque art, and world-building grandeur, connecting it to the rich mythology of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age. This is more than a review—it’s a celebration of where it all began for Marvel's Conan. Join us for sword-swinging action, fiery commentary, and an unforgettable first step into the untamed world of the Hyborian Age! Conan the Barbarian #1: "The Coming of Conan!" was written by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, Dan Adkins, and Sam Rosen. This issue was published by Marvel Comics in July of 1970. Enjoy!

Conan the Barbarian #7 (Marvel: 1971) | The Lurker Within! | 11

Sharpen your swords and brace your thews, adventurers! In this thrilling episode, Steeven tackles Conan the Barbarian #7, The Lurker Within, a 1971 Marvel classic that blends sword-and-sorcery with a locked-room murder mystery. Conan’s journey through the Hyborian Age takes a detour into Nemedian intrigue when he rescues a damsel, tangles with the law, and gets roped into a high-stakes heist at the infamous House of Relics. But this isn’t your average smash-and-grab. A cursed golden bowl, a treacherous femme fatale, and a slithering, man-serpent horror await our Cimmerian as the body count rises and ancient evils are unleashed. Steeven dives deep into the differences between this issue, Robert E. Howard’s original story The God in the Bowl, and later adaptations. He serves up a feast of lore, humor, and analysis, including Conan’s knack for upsetting city guards, smashing through mysteries, and proving (once again) that greed and betrayal are a barbarian’s best motivation. Prepare for action, horror, and a giant snake-monster you’ll never forget. It’s Conan at his most dangerous, and Hither Came Conan at its most entertaining. Tune in now, or face the wrath of Thoth-Amon! Enjoy! Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media. For more nerdy goodness from me, visit somanypodcasts.com. Got questions or comments?
