“It is a hell of a lot of fun.”

On today’s episode we talk about the nonsensical, psychadelic, batshit insane comic that is Shade the Changing Man. Created and drawn by the legendary Steve Ditko with scripting by Michael Fleisher, this is 1970s weirdness to the extreme. Is there any narrative coherence to the story? No. Is there a hell of a lot of great, crazy art to make you say, Wow? It’s a Steve Ditko joint, of course it does.

In addition, we talk about the life and legacy of Steve Ditko. He’s a complicated guy.

As always, thanks for listening.
