Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso




     "POW!" "BAM!" "ZAP!" The incredible iconography that best represented the bombastic battles that were willfully waged across the pulse-pounding pages of the Silver Age of Comics! Hop on your comic treadmills and join Richie and Joe for a raucous race back to the swingin' sixties as they pay tribute to the men and women who brought to life the four-color images that defined an unparalleled era of comic book art!      


From Jack "The King" Kiby to "Genial" Gene Colan, from the ultra-realistic renderings of Neal Adams to the "strange" designs of Steve Ditko, and a plethora of pages and panels that thrilled a generation of boys and girls, you will embark on a journey of wide-eyed wonderment as related by two guys who purchased their "funny books" off a spinner rack! That's right, a creaking wire, metal rack that every time it was turned could summon a swarm of crows!      


Bring a scorecard to this podcast pilgrim!  You are gonna need it to keep track of all the artists Rich and Joe praise with enthusiastic embellishments!   


To coin a phrase: "Face it, tiger, you just hit the jackpot!"
