Those last issues of Kid Colt/Rawhide are very tough to find in any kind of nice shape - very impressive! 9.8 Lady Cop, even more impressive! You'll have to bring that to show and tell some time. Thanks for the channel plug, and great show as always gentlemen!

Unlike many other collectors, I like when a book's previous owner has stamped their name (preferably discretely) on the comic and love it if they have filled in a coupon (but not removed it); that's real provenance and I feel privileged to be such a comic's caretaker.

Jack Keller not only was the main interior artist for Kid Colt, like so many Marvel artists of the time he moonlighted for Charlton drawing the interiors for most of their Hot Rod & Racing Car comics.

[@timothymarkin4481]

I read that Jack Keller set a record for drawing one character the longest in Marvel history with his tenure on Kid Colt.

[@coreycharles9270]

Nice show guys! I love the wide range of genres you cover.

[@reprintranch]

I really enjoyed the discussion of Kid Colt, Outlaw - Jack Keller wasn’t half-bad. One of these days I’ll whomp up a T shirt with a fake early 60s cover for “Kid Colt, In-law,” where Estelle Gedde is yelling at the kid to clean his boots before he comes into the ranch house, no matter how close behind the posse is.

[@nestormcdade13]

Great show as usual guys! I laughed very hard at hiding your true music loves from judging eyes! Lol. Growing up in SE DC loved hip hop but also loved Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd! I got it honest though. My mom grew up in the projects and loved both the Four Tops and The Rolling Stones. Her brother my uncle had every PFunk album and Kiss album! Much respect Richard!

[@zachbrobst9473]

I love Bruce Timm's work. I've been kicking around the edge of the rabbit hole for a while now. Just a matter of time till I take the dive

[@antonmassopust568]

🎉 happy birthday

[@juliusmaloney]

Kid Colt Studios. 😝😂🤫🌵

[@BronzeAndModernGods]

BOOM! I’m sort of ashamed I didn’t make that joke.

[@nighttigercomics7323]

There were DC Comics Whiz Kid comics book inserts also in the 1980s.

John I’ve been collecting comics since the mid 70’s and I can tell you I’m right there with you on Jack Kirby. I hated his work as a kid. His square fingers and giant frog mouths on his characters just really turned me off. I thought his art was weird and over the top. I was a much bigger fan of John Buscema, John Byrne and John romita. Now I see John romita jr doing the same thing with very blocky characters and square fingers. As an adult I appreciate what he was doing and admire his composition and detail but I will always like the 3 J’s better.

[@DeenTV-yt]

John, good job of controlling your desires of collecting that which is lacking from your Marvel Boy books, knowing in fact, you might not get the chance ever again to buy it especially for that price, Suze Orman has smiled

"genre" comics all but died out by 1979. "Anthology" books had also died out that decade and that's not a coincidence. Historically the two were strongly tied together. Some of the "character" titles survived into the 80s (like Sgt. Rock), but their days were numbered. This also ties into television and movies but comics were hit the hardest (right after the pulp magazines). The 1970s was the big transition decade... all the ideas so popular in entertainment (not just comics) from the 1930s were vanishing.

[@Vexer-rl9fq]

That Miles joke... You guys have really dragged that joke out... for Miles. I'm sorry I had to. I'm an idiot. As for westerns, that's a pass for me. That was always my dads thing. I remember being tortured as a kid watching Shane and other western movies. I've grown to like some western movies but couldn't see myself buying western comics.

[@fjleone2169]

I don’t think that the Bronze and Modern Gods affect will actually kick in for the Whiz kids comics.

[@xenaluck]

Sad to say, Westerns will have no audience. todays kids don't play cowboys and indigenous peoplekind anymore.
