#872 Steranko's "Nick Fury," pt 2: The argument in favor Stan Lee editing

About this episode

Tim and Kumar review Jim Steranko's Nick Fury stories, discussing their artistic merits and storytelling clarity.

Jim Steranko 's Nick Fury stories from the late 1960s are lauded for the artwork, especially in the stories after Fury got out of Strange Tales and into his own book. The stories are wacky and kind of haphazard. The layouts are sometimes very innovative, but the storytelling is not always clear. Are these stories worth reading today? Tim and Kumar complete their review of Steranko's Nick Fury. Also, we hear from some listeners, and Tim explains the history and mystery of our podcast feed!
