Attention, true believers! We’ve just dropped a very special, no-nonsense, get-in-get-out episode of Grown Ass Men, all about the new work by our friend J.M. DeMatteis. JM makes his pitch for why you should support his new Kickstarter, and also talks about what can happen when hundreds of people contribute to the world of a single fictional character. Music by Adam Bernstein, natch. Oh, and here’s the link to that Kickstarter: http://kck.st/460rQ64

There are men who carelessly skip over the letters pages in old comic books. But that’s not Doug or Adam. And it certainly isn’t JM DeMatteis, our charming, returning fan-favorite guest. On this episode, we all dive into the best letters ever published in comics, (yes, including the first writing George RR Martin ever had in print) and JM talks about his path from fanboy to letter-writer to comics scribe extraordinaire. It’s a good one!

When Alex Maleev paints Daredevil, you can feel the sweat in that red suit. When he sketches Miles Morales you might get worried Miles is gonna fall off that building. We know and love his art from Spider-Woman, Moon Knight, Batman, Hellboy, and the Scarlet series, many created with Brian Michael Bendis. But we also know Alex because he lives here in Brooklyn and we were lucky enough to sit down in person with Alex to talk about his gorgeous new series Masterpiece. Also, to talk about why he loves the UFC. Music by Adam Bernstein!

On this episode, find out why Doug and Adam will NEVER interview Jim Steranko—and why we love him anyway. Artist, writer, historian, magician, escape artist, musician, character designer of Indiana Jones, character designer of Coppola’s Dracula, and owner of an amazing head of hair, there is only one Steranko. We met him at Comicon this year and here’s the story of the handshake that almost cut off the circulation to my whole arm. With music by Adam Bernstein, natch!

Sure, you’ve heard about Dr. Wu. Peg. Josie. Rikki, who really shouldn’t lose that number. But here’s a question: What do they look like? Well, wonder no more. In this episode, Doug and Adam sit down with the amazing artist who decided to paint every Steely Dan character. You read that right. Joan LeMay has painted ALL of the characters in Steely Dan’s songs in the book she created with the very talented Alex Pappademas. And Joan was just as much of a fun, unpredictable character as any of her subjects. Listen, download, like, subscribe and we promise Mr LaPage will be your man.

On the 101st Episode of the Greatest Comic Book Podcast of all time, we dive into uncharted territory: Power Records! In the 1970s, you didn’t just want to read your comics. You wanted to hear them, too. That’s where Power Records came in, creating comic books for your turntable, and this episode plays all the hits, from the Six Million Dollar Man vs Santa, to the Planet of the Apes, to Spidey vs Little Women. Elevating the conversation is the fabulous Kevin Maher. Kevin geeks out as only he can do, and also explains to us why these little 45 RPM records were actually good for kids! As if this isn’t enough, you’ll also get the superhero earworm you didn’t know you needed (by Adam Bernstein and Sam Mastandrea), but you really do need it. Put the needle on the record!

The greatest sci-fi movie of all time. The greatest comics creator of all time. The power of Marvel Comics. Bring them all together, and what could go wrong? Everything. On this episode, we crack open the mystery of Jack Kirby’s weirdest sci-fi comic, tell stories about Stanley Kubrick, propose new ideas for tattoos, and Adam Bernstein gets operatic. With special guests, Dave Baeumler, Sam Mastandrea, and Julian Darius. What’s not to love?

On our latest episode: The world’s greatest comic book shop opens its doors for the Grown Ass Men! We toured the amazing Metropolis Collectibles and invaded the sanctum sanctorum of suave head honcho Vincent Zurzolo to see the collection and hear stories of Vincent’s career, Harry Houdini’s handcuffs, Nicolas Cage’s stolen comics and tons more. Vincent’s theme by Adam Bernstein!

It started with an irresistible tweet: What are your favorite runs in comics? It’s the kind of easy/hard question grown ass men love to ask themselves, and this time it was being asked by writer Jimmy Palmiotti. Adam leapt into action, contacted Jimmy, and we made our lists. The conversation was a total pleasure because Jimmy’s not only knowledgeable and funny, he’s also a total fanboy of the comics he loves. We covered our favorite runs as well as some of the great work he’s done with the amazing Amanda Conner. Thanks for being on the show, Jimmy!

It’s time for the official G.A.M. review of Matt Reeves’ The Batman -- and, to cover every Bat-angle, we’re pulling in Sam Mastandrea plus Bat-Authority Sean Wasson. This is also the ONLY podcast anywhere that will musically connect Paul Dano’s Brian Wilson with Paul Dano’s Riddler. Enjoy the Bat-earworm!

To capture the amazing life of Steve Gerber, we went way beyond Wikipedia. We got great stories from the one and only Mary Skrenes (his writing partner on Howard the Duck, Omega the Unknown and more) along with Gerry Conway, Scott Edelman and JM DeMatteis.

“The idea that (Stan Lee could say), ‘Hey kids, write in and you can be part of this giant cultural project’ is transparently a lie -- and it also turned out to be true.” On this episode of the Grown Ass Men podcast, Douglas Wolk, author of All Of The Marvels, proves you can be super-nerdy and super-eloquent at the same time as he tells us about reading EVERY SINGLE MARVEL COMIC. He also sings a song about it! Pure pleasure, this one. Enjoy.

Grown Ass Men have been fans of Shang Chi and his Master of Kung Fu comic since it came out Dec 10, 1973. Well maybe we discovered it in 1974 but we, like so many other fans, regard these books as some of the best in the Marvel canon. When the new Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was released, we were first on line.
In this episode we review the movie, plus chat about our correspondence with the great MOKF artist Paul Gulacy. It's a good one and you don't want to miss it!

"Lets just say, whatever few bits of cool we had have been destroyed."
Yup, this is our nerdiest episode EVER, which is saying a lot. Grown Ass Men drove to Long Island, Maine and upstate New York just to look at peoples comics. In Maine, we did end up at a Comic Book store, so while that's not that unusual, it was still incredibly nerdy. But, we know you understand and want to hear all about it. -
It comes down to this - Do you prefer Spiderman or the Thing?!
Join GAM as we geek out about the classic Marvel Team-Up and Marvel Two-In-One comics from the 70's. We debate what's better, the strange Super-Villain Team-Up books and the team-ups we hoped for but never came to fruition.
Don't miss it!
