#187: October 1972 (w/Joe Keatinge) - "A Stranger Walks Among Us!"

Author, editor, and probable 1950s time traveler Joe
Keatinge has been on Marvel by the Month more
than any other guest, and with this episode, he's the first to
reach double digits! You'd think that might come with some sort
of recognition, and you'd be right — you're reading it right now.
Thanks, Joe!


For more than 50 minutes of extra content,
including our discussions of Thor #206 (the
prequel to the infamous Rutland Halloween crossover), the
secret origin of Jim Starlin (and why he's one
of the only Marvel creators to profit from the MCU), and a
grab-bag of non-superhero October '72 Marvels
(that Joe insisted that we read, and we're better for it),
