Jim CannonHOST
In that same introduction, Gold also mentions coming up with the idea of emphasizing Oliver Queen's age in the new series.
Jim CannonHOST
Over in Teen Titans, DC's most popular book, Marv Wolfman had introduced the infant daughter of Roy Harper and the supervillain Cheshire.
Jim CannonHOST
Roy Harper, of course, is Green Arrow's psychic and ward, also known as Speedy, or eventually Arsenal.
Jim CannonHOST
In some way, this made Oliver a grandfather? And that led to the other major themes of this series, in particular how Ollie relates to his girlfriend Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary.
Peter RiosHOST
And then I also noticed, again, on social media, this huge setup, I won't say who it's from, of really cool things.
Peter RiosHOST
Pokemon cards and... giveaways and and you know um comics that were like you know meant for kids you know the the dc cartoon characters or scooby-doo or whatever one of them was like the first appearance of house of secrets uh the the issue of house of secrets that had the first appearance of swamp thing and i was like that might be stretching it just a little bit but the thing that they really had on there was the first issue of New Teen Titans from the Baxter run, Volume 2, Wolfman and Perez, which very clearly has the implication that Nightwing and Starfire were in bed together because they're naked.
Peter RiosHOST
And very clearly, like, suggesting that they probably were having sex or about to have sex.
Peter RiosHOST
And it was something that even in the letter columns, people were reacting to.
16 MINS LATER
Peter RiosHOST
And then you factor in what Superman did in DC KO, where instead of reshaping the universe from the very beginning to his perfect vision, he just released all that alpha energy into the DC universe as we knew it and allowed it to continue, like got rid of the dark side presence and everybody was now filled with like, the alpha energy so that we could all share in everybody's vision and when i open this up i'm like crisis crisis so that's amazing that's amazing and really what i should do is check um let's see it would be issue number 11 because they do um copy that same first issue because, you know, the anti-monitor went back to the beginning of a time and reset the universe in his image and the whole implication that Throughout the origins of the DC Universe, every time Crona wanted to look at the origins of the DC Universe, there was always a prophecy like, don't do it, there's going to be great destruction.
Peter RiosHOST
And then he would see a hand forming the universe, and then there would be an explosion.
Peter RiosHOST
So it's like Marv Wolfman and George Perez, it's like them saying, okay, the reason why that prophecy was always destructive is because what they were doing was looking back to the Anti-Monitor doing it.
Peter RiosHOST
And that's the scene that you see in Crisis 10 with the Harbinger, I mean, with the Anti-Monitor, with his hand forming the universe, Crona is looking, and then the Spectre comes and wrestles with him.
Cory StrodeHOST
We do not have anybody listed as editor-in-chief because at the time, that's not, they did not put that on there.
Cory StrodeHOST
But Marv Wolfman was the editor-in-chief of Marvel.
Cory StrodeHOST
And this was the January 1976 issue.
Cory StrodeHOST
Your splash page is very much a symbolic splash page of Captain America and Falcon being, you know, reacting, and a giant mouth behind them.
David PriceHOST
Wherever you put Deathstroke, I'm going to check it out.
David PriceHOST
And I'm going to check out every run, whether it's the original that Marv Wolfman and Steve Irwin drew, or the...
David PriceHOST
The Priest run, I was not a fan of the Tony Daniel run because he was de-aged, he was younger, and I didn't think the vibe.
David PriceHOST
So I didn't stick around for that.

Gene Colan drew the series from its first issue.
speaker_0NARRATOR
And when writer Marv Wolfman arrived with issue seven, the two men began a six-year partnership that produced one of the most engrossing and thoughtful comics in history.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The cover of each issue proclaimed Tomb of Dracula as Comic-Dum's number one fear magazine.
speaker_0NARRATOR
And for once it looked like that was true.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ace writer Marv Wolfman and brilliant penciler Gene Colan, along with inker extraordinaire Tom Palmer, worked together on Tomb of Dracula until the series ended with issue 70.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Wolfman's run alone lasted 64 issues, which was a rare and long run for the Bronze Age of Marvel.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Along the way, that creative team introduced a wonderful set of supporting characters.
speaker_0NARRATOR
All of them are full of quirks and complications, vendettas and angers.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
And, you know, since this is a gay comic book series, uh, there's a homo gay thing going on in there.
Bill ZanowitzHOST
You can take a look at Kevin Altieri and Marv Wolfman's comments about how, what they could get away with, but, uh,
Steve MoreyHOST
they were roommates.
Steve MoreyHOST
They were, no, there is,
Swain HuntHOST
Kind of, kind of.
Swain HuntHOST
I mean, the idea is, you know, I know he's a throwaway character by Marv Wolfman.
Swain HuntHOST
He didn't mean much to him because he didn't mean nothing to me.
Swain HuntHOST
But later on, he kind of got a chance to become, in his latest incarnation, became the source of the Supreme Earth once Stephen Strange stepped down.
Paul SiebertHOST
You know, the writer primarily worked on boys shows.
Paul SiebertHOST
I noticed that Marv Wolfman of the New Teen Titans fame did a couple of episodes of this.
Paul SiebertHOST
A lot of the writers worked for G.I. Joe.
Paul SiebertHOST
So I think this is writers who primarily work on boys media, not sure exactly what to do for a girl's show and kind of throwing stuff at it.
EJHOST
If there are any other Teen Titans members that have surfaced so far, let me know in the comments.

EJHOST
And again, sorry for my audio listeners.
Nick SmithHOST
All right, so let's go to our B's story.
Nick SmithHOST
This one is called One Little Indian, written by Marv Wolfman, illustrated by Gene Cullen, inked by Dan Atkins.
Nick SmithHOST
We'll preface this by saying that comics and the culture of America in general was less sensitive to racial stereotypes in the 60s, and so the term Indian was used universally used for native or indigenous Americans with little care for which native nation they came from.
Nick SmithHOST
Likewise, we have a depiction of a Romani woman being referred to as a gypsy, complete with the stereotype of her being a fortune teller, right? And that is something that, again, they were less sensitive to back then.
