Ep.407 - Turning Japanese

from Battle Of The Atom: An X-Men Podcast

Episode Notes The Editor in Chief of Marvel Comics once did an elaborate deception, pretending to be a Japanese Manga writer named Akira Yoshida, in order to skirt internal rules and write some of the biggest weeb comics in Marvel's history. Everyone involved still gets mad when you bring it up because the consequence was more or less the dude taking a year off to write a comic about how much sex his always has. But look, what are you going to do but laugh? It's not like we live in a country trying to stifle free speech.
