We're wrapping up 1963 this week with our Variant Cover episode! Dave and I read your feedback, talk about the poll results, and discuss the difference between Silver Age Marvel and DC, how "canon" these early versions of the characters are, and what we think of Stan Lee's understanding of science. And stick around for deleted scenes and outtakes from the 1963 recordings!
This week's episode is Marvel Year Two: 1963 Variant Cover, due out tomorrow 2/4/19.
The comics we're covering for Marvel Year Three: 1964 Pt. 1 are:
Tales of Suspense #50, #54 to #55, #57
Avengers #4
Uncanny X-Men #4, #7
Journey Into Mystery #108
Daredevil #1, #4
In addition, $3+ Patreons will get access to Extra Issues, the bonus newsletter that fleshes out each year's readings. This upcoming issue will cover the introductions of Radioactive Man, The Impossible Man, Tyrannus, Jack Frost, and many more. Since the format switch, I'm trying to get 1963 out ASAP, and get on a regular schedule with 1964, but things might be a bit late to start, sorry!
