On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Jaws, we're joined by Marty Milner to discuss his work on Steven Spielberg's legendary thriller. Marty takes us behind the scenes of one of cinema's most influential films, sharing insights into the production challenges, the infamous mechanical shark "Bruce," and the innovative filmmaking techniques that helped create a summer blockbuster phenomenon. We explore how the film's troubled production on Martha's Vineyard ultimately led to some of its greatest strengths, the collaborative process with Spielberg during his early career, and the lasting impact Jaws had on both the film industry and popular culture. We also touch on the film's legacy, its spawning of the summer blockbuster era, and what it was like being part of a movie that would become one of the most quoted and referenced films in cinema history.

Writer Mark Russell joins us to discuss his path into comics, beginning with his breakthrough work God Is Disappointed in You, a satirical retelling of the Bible with cartoons by Shannon Wheeler that launched his unique career. We explore Mark's knack for breathing new life into seemingly impossible properties, from the reboot Prez and his surprising take on The Flintstones to his bold reimagining of Snagglepuss as a gay playwright facing McCarthyism in Exit, Stage Left!: The Snagglepuss Chronicles. Mark reveals his attraction to underestimated and dormant properties like the Wonder Twins, discusses the inspiration behind his controversial Second Coming series and reflects on the backlash it generated. We also dive into his Eisner Award-winning humor work Not All Robots, his collaboration process with artists like Mike Deodato, and his special creative partnership with Mike Allred on Superman: Space Age and Batman: Dark Age.
Mark's recent Traveling to Mars series was just collected into trade paperback, and the second issue of the Vanishing Point anthology, comes out today, June 18! You can follow Mark on his website, markrussellbooks.com, and on Instagram and Bluesky @manruss.

Brazilian creator Sam Fonseca joins us to discuss his journey from discovering comics to becoming a distinctive voice in the cartooning community. We explore his early days self-publishing in São Paulo's independent scene and how those formative experiences shaped his creative perspective. Sam walks us through his acclaimed works including the HQMix Prize-nominated Age of Rust and the lighthearted webcomic Dynamite & Laser Beam, before diving deep into his latest graphic novel Shadowplay: Midnight School. The haunting tale centers on a school plagued by recurring nightmares, and Sam reveals the inspiration behind its concept, his deliberate use of grayscale punctuated by explosive color sequences, and how his unconventional panel layouts enhance the nightmare sequences. We discuss his fascinating process of creating soundtracks for his comics and how the social commentary about class divisions weaves through the narrative. Finally, we look ahead to future Shadowplay installments and his upcoming projects.
Also, if you didn't know, Sam is responsible for the super-cool new theme music that plays at the beginning of each Dollar Bin Bandits episode! You can follow Sam on his site, samfonseca.com, his YouTube channel, youtube.com/@MrSamfonseca, and/or on Instagram @samuelgfonseca

Ralph Macchio spent over four decades at Marvel Comics, serving as a writer, editor, and eventually Executive Editor during some of the company's most transformative periods. Beginning his career in the 1970s as an assistant to Roy Thomas, Ralph went on to edit many of Marvel's flagship titles including Daredevil, Thor, and The Avengers, overseeing Frank Miller's revolutionary run on Daredevil, Walter Simonson's legendary work on Thor, and collaborating with legendary artists like John Buscema on Conan the Barbarian. In addition to his editorial work, Ralph wrote for several titles including Master of Kung Fu and Marvel Two-in-One. Throughout our conversation, Ralph shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from Marvel's history, offered insights into the evolution of the comic book industry from the Bronze Age through the modern era, and reflected on working with some of comics' greatest creators. Though largely retired from regular comic work now, Ralph occasionally contributes to special projects and historical retrospectives that draw on his unparalleled experience in the industry.

In this episode, we roll out with Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman, the legendary minds behind the original Transformers comics from Marvel and Marvel UK respectively. With Skybound's massive compendiums reigniting interest in both series, we dive deep into how a Japanese toy line transformed into a pop culture juggernaut. Bob shares how Transformers first landed on his desk at Marvel and the challenges of writing 50+ issues while constantly introducing new characters. Simon discusses navigating the complexities of fitting UK stories around US continuity and eventually taking over the US title himself. Together, they reflect on their favorite characters, what made Transformers such a lasting property, and the creative synergy—and surprises—between their respective runs. It's a must-listen for fans who want to go beyond the robots in disguise and hear the human stories behind the mythos.
Skybound's Compendium Set Kickstarter campaign goes until May 7, so be sure to back it here before time runs out: http://kck.st/4i3ts31.
