   Episode 24: Sandman (William "Flint Marko" Baker)

   Not a hoax, not a dream...in this episode, a character dies! And...gets better. Merry Christmas! My present to you: this episode. It's, uh, not holiday themed, really, except maybe in a It's A Wonderful Life kinda way as there's a story about retrospection and redemption. The comics: Amazing Spider-Man 4 (1963), Amazing Spider-Man 217 & 218 (1981), and Marvel Two-In-One 86 (1981). Episode art by Steve Ditko, from Spider-Man 4. Further reading & references: All of the Marvels by Douglas Wolk (talks about how early Spider-Man villains are corrupt father figures to Peter) Mysterious Travelers: Steve Ditko and the Search for a New Liberal Identity by Zack Kruse (yes, yes, I'm aware that Ditko was an Ayn Rand fan (ugh), but I don't go into it because this book muddles the popular conception of how this influenced his work) Patreon: patreon.com/notadreampod (patreon.com/notadreampod) Mastodon: @bookybookman@retro.pizza Twitter: @notadreampod Instagram: @notahoaxpod Email: notahoaxpod@gmail.com Music: Big Boi Pants by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com - used with Creative Commons license Sound clips: All-Star Superman (2011), Justice League Unlimited (2004 - 2006), Batman Beyond (1999 - 2001), X-Men: The Animated Series (1992 - 1997), The Dark Knight (2008), Spider-Man (2002), Superman (1978), The Transformers: The Movie (1986), Justice League (2001 - 2004), Doom Patrol (2019 - ), WandaVision (2021), X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men (1989), Spider-Man (1981 - 1982), and Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends (1981 - 1983).
