A Super Talk With Mike Carlin pt 1

In Part 1 of this conversation, Mike Carlin takes us back to where it all began, starting with his 1974 internship at DC Comics under legendary editor Julius Schwartz and the early lessons that shaped his editorial instincts. Carlin then charts his path into Marvel Comics, breaking in through the irreverent Crazy Magazine before landing as an assistant editor under Mark Gruenwald, where he worked on powerhouse titles like Thor and Captain America.Then he takes us to the jump to DC where his legendary run as Supermn editor began. It is a candid, ground-level look at Carlin’s formative years, learning the craft, navigating the bullpen, and building the foundation for a career that would eventually reshape Superman and beyond.
