Comic Reader Résumé Podcast #10

Temporary Lay-Off

(February-July 1984)

Internet Archive ◫ MP3 ◫ ShoutEngine

ré·su·mé [rez-oo-mey, rez-oo-mey] noun 1. a summing up; summary. 2. a brief written account of personal, educational, and professional qualifications and experience, as that prepared by an applicant for a job.

In Comic Reader Résumé, I use Mike’s Amazing World of Comics to travel back through time via his virtual newsstand to the genesis point of my lifelong collecting of comics. From there, I can offer a “work history” of my fandom through my active purchasing of (relatively) new comic books beginning in January of 1982, when my interest in the medium went from sporadic and unformed to routine on through compulsive accumulation. To streamline the narrative and keep the subjects at least remotely contemporaneous, I will not generally be discussing what we call back issues: books bought long after their publication date. Sometimes, I will cover a book published on a given month that I picked up within a year or so that date, and I give myself an especially wide berth on this aspect in the first couple of “origins” episodes. We’ll get more rigidly on point as my memories crystallize and my “hobby” spirals out of control into the defining characteristic of my life (eventually outpacing squalor and competing neuroses.) It’s part personal biography, part industry history, and admittedly totally self-indulgent on my part.

This episode includes Best of DC #49, Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #91-92, Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #3-7, Daredevil #209, Blue Devil #2-5, Marvel Team-Up #144 & 146, Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner #1, Marvel Super Special #30, Micronauts: The New Voyages #1, Amazing Spider-Man #258, G.I. Joe a Real American Hero and more! Plus a look at movies from the first half of 1984...

Meanwhile... In A Time Before Dan DiDio's dismissal and Covid-10, Michael Bailey of The Fortress of Baileytude Podcasting Network still joined Diabolu Frank in apocalyptic visions for the 2020 comic book industry. Spoiled the twist ending? Before then, we cover Superman artists* like Jon Bogdanove & Ed McGuinness, Greg Capullo, Helspont & Wildstorm in the New 52 DCU, the fall of John Byrne, and the Speculator Bust of 1993...

Meanwhile... Mr. Fixit & Diabolu Frank talk "Worlds Of DC," meaning the DCEU and DCTV and DC Universe app and a little bit of actual comic books, hence the rare use of the term "Worlds Of DC" because nobody actual calls DC media by that name. Included are Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey, the Berlanti/CW/Arrowverse's Crisis On Infinite Earths (especially Black Lightning,) Wonder Woman 1984, Batman/Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited, and Black Widow.
