The Ages of Superhero Comics
Welcome to a reboot of New Wave Comics. This new podcast, Four Color History expands this podcast reach into the history of all comic books.
In my first episode, I take a look into the various efforts to categorize the history of American comic books.
BTW. Grant Morrison came as non-binary during the recording and editing for this episode. So sorry if I used him instead of them.
