Mini-episode: Tribute to Glen Hammonds, the most important man in Outlaw Comics
This one’s a mini-episode, with me going solo again to talk about the late Glen Hammonds, a hidden figure in the development and popularization of Outlaw Comics. Hammonds, who passed away of pancreatic cancer in 2020, was the proprietor of the comics retailer, wholesaler, and publisher Raw Comics and was a legit patron of the Outlaw Comics arts, spending thousands of dollars a year commissioning art to help the artists make a living.

Ronin: Looking back at Frank Miller's most quietly influential work
We’re finally diving into Frank Miller’s Ronin this episode. Love him or hate him, you can’t really talk about the Dark Age of Comic Books without talking about Miller. His work on Daredevil and Dark Knight Returns are two of the most important touchstones for the emergence of the period. But Ronin is arguably more important. Music: https://krudler.bandcamp.com

ElfQuest invented modern comics storytelling
We're joined by artist and illustrator Elinore Edge to talk about the first two volumes of ElfQuest: The Original Quest. We talk about the epic series' themes of home and belonging, Wendy Pini's incredible art and how it stood out against a sea of "house style" art from the big two, and how ElfQuest was the first comic to follow what is now the standard storytelling structure for most comics, especially independent comics.

Grendel: The early years
We couldn't help it. We weren't going to read Grendel so soon, but irresistibly drawn to Matt Wagner's masterpiece. Once he started reading, he couldn't stop. Klint was soon sucked back into the world of Grendel too. In this episode, we look at the earliest Grendel stories from Comico Primer, the original black and white series, and the classic Devil by the Deed.

Manhunter by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson had ninjas, clones, and a healing factor years before it was cool
This episode we dive into <em>Manhunter</em> by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson. This was essentially a Dark Age comic that happened to come out in the early Bronze Age (1973). This comic was ahead of its time in many ways. Credits: Hosts: Klint Finley and John Ekleberry Music: krudler.bandcamp.com Full show notes and transcript: https://sewermutant.com/podcast-manhunter/
