 In this 2016 conversation, acclaimed comics historian Bill Schelly takes us deep into the life and legacy of Otto Binder, one of the most influential — and too often overlooked — writers in the history of American comics and science fiction. Schelly discusses his expanded biography, Otto Binder: The Life and Work of a Comic Book and Science Fiction Visionary, and lays out why Binder’s fingerprints are all over the Golden and Silver Age. We cover:
  • Binder’s prolific run on Shazam!/Captain Marvel in the 1940s
  • The creation of Mary Marvel, the Marvel Family, and Mr. Tawny the Talking Tiger
  • How Binder built classic villains like Mister Mind and crafted the landmark Monster Society of Evil saga
  • His leap to DC Comics in the 1950s, where he co-created Supergirl, The Legion of Super-Heroes, the Bottled City of Kandor, and helped reshape the Superman mythos
  • Binder’s parallel career in science fiction, and how his SF instincts informed his storytelling across both mediums
  • Why his influence still resonates with modern superhero comics
This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about comics history, forgotten giants of the medium, and the creators who quietly built the universes we all take for granted. ► SUBSCRIBE for more deep-dive interviews, comic history talks, and archival creator conversations.
