Giant Sized GOCA - The Roland Mann Interview about Marvel, comics and humidity (Part 1)

from Guys Of A Certain Age · host Guys Of A Certain Age

This week's episode is extra big and extra special because it features comic book writer/editor/publisher Roland Mann of Silverline comics. Roland talks about his career in the comic book industry that started in a grocery story somewhere in 1970's Mississippi and took him to Marvel comics. Never fear True Believers because Geeks Of The Week is also in here! Jay explains his Geek of the Week process, using a metaphor.  Then he tells a story of a Hot Wheels car - a story that’s only about ten years old, which for him is almost like a current event.  Art brings everybody up to speed on a Widow who’s now saying to Disney, “You’re dead to me,” yet still hoping for an inheritance.  But wait, is Robbie also reaching into the past for his GOW? All the way back to 1975?  Was he even out of diapers then? Rest assured, old or not, his discovery is Fantastic.   [Robbie's note: The cool Fantastic Four radio plays from the early 70's can be heard at Archive.org. Much more fun than some weird Hot Wheels stuff.]
