Paul KienHOST
She marched me right back into the store to make sure I paid for it properly so I wouldn't run out and steal it.
Paul KienHOST
But for DC, we also had the first appearance of Sean's favorite Legionnaire Tyrock in Superboy and the Legion number 216 and the return of the Metal Men in number 45 by Steve Gerber and Walt Simonson.
Paul KienHOST
That book had been canceled back in 1973 and the revamp was part of Conway's Corner.
Paul KienHOST
So that's kind of neat.

speaker_4HOST
Naturally.
speaker_3HOST
So they hire Steve Gerber to write this 40-page epic where Kiss literally fights Dr. Doom and Mephisto.
speaker_4HOST
But the story itself-
speaker_3HOST
Right.
Evan BevinsGUEST
... was just some random issues of Daredevil.
Evan BevinsGUEST
And, uh, I know to, uh, to pick up a, a theme we seem to, uh, have, uh, inadvertently, uh, Steve Gerber wrote a few of those.
Billy D.HOST
Mm-hmm.
Billy D.HOST
He did, which means they're very weird.
Ben VerschoorHOST
Yes.
Ben VerschoorHOST
The film is Howard the Duck, the 1986 superhero, question mark, comedy, question mark, directed by Willard Huyck, written by Huyck and Gloria Katz, and executive produced by George Lucas, adapted from the Marvel comic series created by Steve Gerber.
Ben VerschoorHOST
It stars Chip Zien as the voice, Ed Gale and Jordan Prentice as suit performers, and several puppeteers as Howard the Duck, an unremarkable duck from Duck World, which is like Earth but with ducks instead of humans.
Ben VerschoorHOST
One night Howard is sucked out of his parents' apartment and dropped on Earth.
speaker_1HOST
But when you examine the mechanics of the Korvac Saga, the claim holds immense weight.
speaker_1HOST
Michael Korvac debuted in Giant-Size Defenders Number Three in 1974, created by Steve Gerber and Jim Starlin.
speaker_1HOST
His origin is entrenched in bizarre 31st-century sci-fi lore.
speaker_0HOST
He was a computer technician in an alternate future Earth that had been conquered by a reptilian alien race known as the Badoon.
Rob MacfarlaneHOST
Yes.
Ben GrovesHOST
Where Howard the Duck was first conceived by Steve Gerber.
Ben GrovesHOST
Yeah.

For Marvel Comics.

Ben GrovesHOST
We'll get into George Lucas.
Jeff MayHOST

Jeff MayHOST
Famously, Steve Gerber.
Jeff MayHOST
But he's like, we need to fix this shit.
Jeff MayHOST
And he starts doing things like bringing in Chris Claremont and John Byrne on X-Men.
JohnHOST
Marvel B titles, maybe even C titles from the 70s, starting with one of my favorite runs of all time, The Defenders.
JohnHOST
Here's issue 31, the Steve Gerber run of The Defenders, which is...
JohnHOST
Almost a satire of comic books.
JohnHOST
It is not meant to be taken seriously whatsoever.
JohnHOST
being tossed around from person to person, literally.
JohnHOST
It's the most bizarre stream of consciousness.
JohnHOST
Steve Gerber was not into drugs.
JohnHOST
He was not a druggie, so this was done just purely from his imagination.
WillHOST
And so the tagline, the intro-
Jason AaronGUEST
Along, along with Alex Toth and Steve Gerber.
WillHOST
Alex Toth.
WillHOST
That's right
Jason AaronGUEST
I mean, they're, they really have no canon.
Jason AaronGUEST
I mean, everything I was doing, I, you know, I...
Jason AaronGUEST
Steve Gerber definitely had plans and I, and thoughts about their origins.
Jason AaronGUEST
