Episode 77 - Jack Kirby Tribute - Week of 8/30/17

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion on the 100th birthday of comics legend Jack Kirby. Kirby is at least partly responsible for a huge chunk of what we know of today as Marvel Comics, and he did some groundbreaking work for DC as well. And as always, our picks of the week.

 

What we're up to this week:

Begun research for a future "secret project" - watching some cool movies

Les' Big Bag o' Nothing® - quiet weekend, scifi meetup, nothing exciting

Quick trip out of town - glad to be home & recording

 

Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World and Make Mine Indie! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. And check out tons of great indie comics in the MMIndie catalog. And thank you!)

 

Thanks, Jack, for all of the amazing contributions to the many worlds we still know and love today in comics :-)

Shoutouts:

A fond farewell to comedy legend Jerry Lewis, who died this week at age 91 - condolences to his family and friends, and thank you, sir, for all the laughs

[Note: slight hiccup in the audio here; Thomas was saying that he didn't think he'd ever seen any of the films from when Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis actually worked as a team. -m]

Eddie Medina, who gets a shoutout for not being on this week's show (just kidding, of course - we asked him to join us, but he wasn't able to do so this week. Perhaps next time…)

Manny the Martyr - thanks for letting us use your music

#PodernFamily - an awesome group of indie podcasters supporting each other
