Legion Clubhouse #173: Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visinary (Encore)
This week on the show, an encore presentation of our interview with Bill Schelly, the author of Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary. . It will help ensure The Major Spoilers Podcast continues far into the future! OTTO BINDER: THE LIFE AND WORK OF A COMIC BOOK AND SCIENCE FICTION VISIONARY by Bill Schelly Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary chronicles the career of Otto Binder, from pulp magazine author to writer of Supergirl, Captain Marvel, and Superman comics. As the originator of the first sentient robot in literature ("I, Robot," published in Amazing Stories in 1939 and predating Isaac Asimov's collection of the same name), Binder's effect on science fiction was profound. Within the world of comic books, he created or co-created much of the Superman universe, including Smallville; Krypto, Superboy's dog; Supergirl; and the villain Braniac. Binder is also credited with writing many of the first "Bizarro" storylines for DC Comics, as well as for being the main writer for the Captain Marvel comics. In later years, Binder expanded from comic books into pure science writing, publishing dozens of books and articles on the subject of satellites and space travel as well as UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Comic book historian Bill Schelly tells the tale of Otto Binder through comic panels, personal letters, and interviews with Binder's own family and friends. Schelly weaves together Binder's professional successes and personal tragedies, including the death of Binder's only daughter and his wife's struggle with mental illness. A touching and human story, Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary is a biography that is both meticulously researched and beautifully told, keeping alive Binder's spirit of scientific curiosity and whimsy.

In the devastated dystopian dust bowl of what was once America, a mesmerizing stage show called The Sunny-Luna Travelling Oracle comes to Esta's town. When Sunny and Luna take an interest in her, it feels like her ticket out. But these mysterious proprietors are secretly members of a harsh authoritarian order, and they have a hidden agenda: scavenge for mythic texts that hold the last hope for reviving a natural world-and destroy them. Esta is the unwitting key to this strange magic, and she soon finds herself literally transported to a supernatural Wonderland-and the twisted plot of Sunny and Luna.
