Jacked Kirby

Returning to the program, Hollywood special effects veteran, comic book fan, and all around cool dude BART MIXON brings with him a twisted tale of the macabre for us to discuss; Joe Simon & Jack Kirby’s story ‘The Greatest Horror Of Them All’, from Black Magic issue 29 (April, 1954). Plus we talk about some movies...

We start our annual month of spooky-centric Kirby stuff, JackedTober, with a really wacky “space vampire” story from Marvel Comics’ Captain America annual 3 (1976). Join us as we sink our teeth into ‘The Thing From The Black Hole Star’! Bust out your pumpkin stout, sit back, and enjoy!

Check out what...
