I hope you're doing okay Chris, or at least that things get better. I love all the work you put out.

Talking of digital art early days, the pixel art in Japan game developers in the 80s: not only the digital stylus didn't exist , PCs weren't that easy to come by in Japan apparently. So some of the artists at SNK, Capcom,Taito,etc. were drawing a lot high quality art not only by mouse, but they had a lot of repurposed old arcade machines used for creating the games, so those guys were drawing with a joystick! Completely bonkers!

Muhammid Ali-Supes cover laid out (actually drawn, originally) by Joe Kubert. Ali didn't like Kubert, so Adams drew the cover, closely following Kubert layout.

[@JeffWitty]

History of ashcans is a genius idea! I thought they only came about in the 90s as promo material during the flood of new comics. I guess I am mistaken. :)

[@jhop779]

I love these weekly shows with Chris! I learn so much about the history of comics. I never knew that marvel try out book existed.

[@doorsfan173]

Chris, please take care of yourself man. Whether that's a week off UA-cam or whatever else, your mental health is priority #1.
It's been a tough few years for all of us I think. I haven't been in the greatest space, and just took a few days off. I didn't do anything crazy, but it was just what I needed for a soft mental reset.

[@fuzzydunlop_1]

I discovered you when you were on tripleg_comics channel recently. I haven't stopped watching your content since. Great work sir, I'm obsessed 👏

[@sooty_mosquito]

Super appreciate your work, man 🙌 hope you’re doing well ❤

[@ReaperXC]

I'm interested to see if the next Star wars series will tell stories post Jedi up to or past Mandalorian and Poe Dameron. Or if they do between Awakens and Last.
Maybe even a non saga related series.

[@ReaperXC]

Jinn and Kenobi team up pre Phantom menace.

[@jakejupiter5905]

Ryan North next for ASM ???

[@stephenvelez9710]

Best podcast Adam Roche’s secret history of Hollywood, he does a 9 part series on Val Lewton!

[@OneUponADime]

Kindest wishes and take care of yourself

[@stephenvelez9710]

The suit Chris Reeve wore is my fave, but I like this one, minus the upper body padding. Love the S/House of El crest😜

[@aldi404]

Woolworth is also still around here in Germany

[@SparkleLynn2113]

It's awesome to hear you got into comics with transformers too--I'm a bit younger so I got into comics with transformers armada in 04 but still awesome to hear ^^

[@imago1203]

A history of ashcan comics episode would be cool. You could even touch on the Fantastic Four and Dick Tracy ashcan movies!
Been a ComicTropes fan for a few years now, keep up the great work ❤

[@tonythesuperperson]

I subscribe to both 2000 ad’s prog and magazine via their app - it’s good!

[@BionicRambutan]

The Marvel Pull List is a good Marvel podcast, I thought it was an official Marvel podcast 😓

[@kinginthenorth1437]

Death Stick totally sounds like it could be a brand name for a hard drug. Ever watch the Wire, they had people yelling Pandemic and WMD on street corners to attract customers.

[@zoliizs2300]

Wish you the best, man! 🙌🙌🙌

[@josenataliogonzalez3807]

Loveyou show

[@BionicRambutan]

Don’t feel bad if you have to take a brake. If you want to make the algorithm happy just repost old episodes. If people do that on social media, why can’t you do it on UA-cam?

[@artisticflavaz8460]

Thanks for all the hard work you do on both of your channels, Chris! I hope what whatever you are going through that you know you are not alone. Love you man! Double Salute 🫡 🫡
