About this episode

The hosts eulogize comic writer Gerry Conway while discussing his career and recent comic issues.

In a rare quick turnaround from livestream to audio episode (less than 24 hours), the Comic Book Bears boys are back with their latest! Steve, Caleb and Billy Z don the symbolic black armbands sadly on this episode as we eulogize legendary comic writer Gerry Conway who lost his battle with cancer this week. We talk about his career and one of his earliest comics (Daredevil #77 from 1971) and then discuss very recent issues of The Fury of Firestorm and Justice League Unlimited - two franchises Gerry had long associations with. We then delve into some other recent books including The Thing on the Doorstep (Image), No Saints Nor Poets (Tightrope) and once again harken back to 1960s Marvel with the facsimile edition of Silver Surfer #1. All this plus Steve's recent experience attending the Screams By Night: Halfway to Halloween convention in South Dakota, our recent Geek Gets and our Woofs of the Week (along with some unplanned South Park and Cure imitations along the way!)
