The Random Acts Of Comics Christmas Spectacular!

Seasons Greetings from Walt and Todd! Here's our audio Christmas card to you, Dear Listener. A heartfelt gift of comics and laughter as Walt Curly and Todd reminisce about a trio of their favorite Christmas-themed stories from years gone by. God bless us, Everyone. And to all, a good night.

Issue 65 | The Spiderman Clone Caucus Pt. Two

What you need to remember is that all this was happening in the mid-to-late nineties. This was pre-internet, pre-email. The bunch of us were communicating via faxes, Fed Ex, and phone calls, neither of which were very secure. And when editor Bob Budiansky discovered that DC had somehow intercepted a series of vital X-Men communiques down the hall, he insisted we develop a multilayered code to talk with one another. That's when Tom went off and created the unbreakable Clone Code. Some of us still speak it today.

Issue 64 | The Spiderman Clone Caucus Pt. One

Spider-Man Clone Caucus pt 1 Many have written of what went on in those meetings, of the hushed plans formulated behind those closed conference room doors. Speculation, all of it. A patchwork legend sewn from snippets of overheard conversations, misinterpreted mutterings, and muted tirades heard through thick skyscraper walls. But never from the writers who were actually there, doing the work, bleeding the blood, crying the tears. Until now. * There is a 'ding' sound on Terry's channel. Have no idea why. Maybe he was baking potatoes? Also, Howard Mackie is the one who sounds like RFK Jr.

Issue 63 | Walter Simonson II : Alien

Walter Simonson, Part 2 — The second in a series. The master storyteller is back in the studio to give us the incredible behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the original ALIEN graphic novel and how he was able to draw it without having seen the movie. Also, the Sinking of the Bismarck. *This episode features a moment from "Sway" by The Rolling Stones Become a citizen of Random Nation! https://www.patreon.com/c/randomactsofcomicspodcast [https://www.patreon.com/c/randomactsofcomicspodcast]

Issue 62 | Mark Chiarello

Mark Chiarello—"Mark swung his chair around to face me as I entered the room, a look of wild concern on his face. I had Johnny, the Rousseau kid with me, we were looking for lunch. 'Hey, Man!' Mark said, 'Where did my podcast go? I've listened to every episode now three times!' And that's the only reason we brought the podcast back. For Mark."
