Episode 26: The Reason I Should Never Have Been Allowed to Write Comics

from Why Not Say What Happened? · host Scott Edelman

Rereading my mid-'70s run of Captain Marvel teaches me why I should never have been writing comics in the first place — but it also causes me to reminisce about how I rescued Rick Jones from the Negative Zone, the way the success of Crazy Rich Asians caused Captain Marvel reshoots, the travesty of the Teen Brigade's return, George Tuska's unseen Wonder Man, why I believe in back-shadowing, not foreshadowing, and more.
