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.

Customer Reviews
My favorite comics podcast!!
Matt and Jacob, you guys are the best. I first started listening in 2021 when doing random search’s on Apple Podcasts. I knew about Werewolf by Night but never read any of his appearances. I got hooked quickly and love your guys commentary. I’ve loved old universal movies growing up as a kid, in fact the one I saw being 1941s The Wolfman, so having a podcast like this takes me back.
I’ve gotten a bit behind and am now getting caught up on your Bronze Age buffet, and I’m enjoying every bit of it! I’m sad to see Brother voodoo go but am liking N’Kantu the living mummy. Nothing beats go old Bronze Age monsters! Thank you both for all you do! So til we meet again neath the full moon furry ones, here’s howlin at yah!!🐺🌕
Monster FUN!
A must listen for any monster comic fan! This is an insightful and fun podcast!
Jesus Wept (for more!!)
This podcast has cursed me with a bloodlust for more Bronze Age comic book horror tinged fun, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be sated even after loving this show for 3 seasons. Jacob & Matt do a killer job each week of discussing everything that’s awesome in both the writing and art of Marvel Horror comics from the 1970s.
Their enthusiasm for Werewolf by Night, Man-Wolf, Son of Satan and the revolving door of too easily forgotten villains has led me to purchase waaaay more comics than I can read and now my kid has no college fund left!
Thanks to these two fellas my wallet has had more blood sucked out of it than any of Count Dracula’s victims :) I like to think I’m the better for it and I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough, the interviews are great and insightful and I always get a belly full of laughs each episode and am yearning for more by the end of each episode.
Thanks fellas!!
