  • Denny O’Neil on The Question, DC and Marvel Days , and His Comic Book Legacy

    Denny O’Neil on The Question, DC and Marvel Days , and His Comic Book Legacy
    Jul 6 2025
    In this 2006 conversation, legendary writer and editor Denny O’Neil joins Word Balloon to revisit his groundbreaking 1980s run on The Question, a series that helped redefine the character for a new generation. Originally created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics, Vic Sage found new life under O’Neil’s pen—philosophical, gritty, and deeply human.

    We also explore Denny’s novel Helltown, which digs into Vic Sage’s origin story in a bold new way. Longtime fans will notice some departures from past continuity, but the spirit—and sharp commentary—are pure O’Neil.

    Plus: Denny shares stories from his early days in comics, working under editors like Julie Schwartz and Stan Lee, and yes, there’s some great Batman talk too—no surprise from the man who helped shape the Dark Knight for over three decades. A must-listen for fans of classic comics, noir storytelling, and one of the true legends of the mediu

  • Dan Slott FF Trek Dr Who Star Wars talk

    Dan Slott FF Trek Dr Who Star Wars talk
    Jul 5 2025
    Today, we go back to 2021 with an epic chat featuring writer Dan Slott—the man who brought his unique voice to Spider-Man, She-Hulk, and of course, Marvel’s First Family, the Fantastic Four. As the FF celebrated their 60th anniversary, Dan reflects on their legacy, his run on the title, and why they still matter in today’s pop culture landscape.

    But this conversation doesn’t stop at Yancy Street—we also dive into Doctor Who, one of Dan’s lifelong fandoms, and get his take on the show's recent direction. And then it gets a little spicy as we discuss Star Trek: Discovery and where that show may have gone off the rails. Plus a good dose of Star Wars talk. It’s comics, sci-fi, and brutally honest fandom with one of the sharpest writers in the business.

  • Superman History From Marty Pasko pt 3

    Superman History From Marty Pasko pt 3
    Jul 4 2025
    today we bring you Part 3 of my Summer 2011 conversation with the late, great Marty Pasko. In this installment, we explore Marty’s work from the 1980s, including his run on Blackhawk, and get his sharp perspective on what was then the big unknown — the launch of DC’s New 52. Marty had a lot to say about how that relaunch might alter the company’s history and how it stacked up against past reinventions of the DC Universe.

    We also take a hard look back at the Silver and Bronze Age stewardship of Superman under controversial editor Mort Weisinger — including Weisinger’s infamous treatment of co-creator Jerry Siegel and his iron grip on the Man of Steel’s mythos.

    Plus, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes peek at the origins of DC’s beloved reprint formats — the 80-Page Giants and 100-Page Spectaculars. Where did the idea come from? Why did they work? And what legacy did they leave? This is essential listening for anyone who loves DC Comics history — as told by someone who lived it.
