Marvel's Cosmic Comics: Star Wars, John Carter, Rom, Micronauts, And Beyond!

Star Wars continues as we enter to back half of the adaptation of the first movie!

It's another brand new series, this one based not on a book, movie, or toy...but on a REAL PERSON! But it's still set in the Marvel universe!

Marv Wolfman continues his original John Carter story, "Air Pirates of Mars" as John Carter continues his own quest and we continue our exploration of this fantastic series!

Godzilla continues his rampage across the Marvel universe's North America!

The journey began with Jack Kirby's 2001. Now, his 2001: A Space Odyssey comic ends with issue #10.

Our journey through the Star Wars movie adaptation continues as we start a new month: cover date September 1977!

Godzilla stomps on the scene as Marvel develops a new series based on the Toho's king of all monsters and the Marvel universe must cope, sending in some of S.H.E.I.L.D.'s best and brightest!

Wolfman's fantastic John Carter story continues!

Jack Kirby continues his bonkers run on 2001: A Space Odyssey, continuing to distance himself from the source material, and also continuing to grow Ben's appreciation of him.

Beginning a new cover date month to cover, we jump back into the Star Wars action with Star Wars issue #2!

Wrapping up coverage of July 1977, Ben takes a look at some of the extra materials found in the comics, like ads and publishing notices.

2001: A Space Odyssey may not seem like a natal match for a comic series by Jack Kirby, but Kirby takes it and makes it his own, expanding on his own ideas of the mythology the source material never intended!

In this episode, it's the FINAL issue of Marvel's Logan's Run series, and it ends on a cliffhanger! With no resolution. Ever. Cue the sad trombone.

Finally! We get to talk about Star Wars, issue #1, the first part in the SIX PART adaptation of the first Star Wars movie!!!

As we lead up to the Star Wars series, we look at John Carter: Warlord of Mars, a sci-fi series that inspired Star Wars!

A close look at Logan's Run, the comic series that adapted the movie and then started out on it's own path with some new stories.

Before we dive into the Star Wars era, we look at some comics leading up to the Star Wars series, beginning with jack Kirby's 2001: A Space Odyssey, from the adaptation of the movie to the first seven issues of the comic series!

The beginning of a comic podcasting experiment: using Star Wars as a guideline, we're going through almost all of the comic books based on licensed properties that Marvel Comics published while they were publishing Star Wars, from 1977 to 1986.
