Month by Marvelous Month
The Marvel Age of Comics began in August 1961 with Fantastic Four #1 (which was cover-dated November 1961, because nothing is simple in comics). Since then, each month has brought another chapter in the ongoing sagas of legendary super heroes like Spider-Man, The Hulk, Iron Man, and whatever Hank Pym is calling himself this week.
Marvel By the Month is a weekly podcast that takes listeners through the history of Marvel Comics, one month at a time. Lifelong comics nerds Robb Milne, Bryan Stratton, and Jamie Wenger cover the comics, characters, creators, and corporate shenanigans of Marvel throughout its 60+ year history, placing them in the historical context of their times.
