Bonus Patreon Release: the Apache Kid! With Matt Parent! Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

In the 1950s, Marvel published a series all about the Apache Kid, loosely appropriated on a real life outlaw character. The cover constantly asked questions like "Indian or White Man" as they told old Western stories based on a character navigating some complex worlds, all written by white writers. Come listen to an insightful and educational episode about old cowboy stories with Chad and his friend, Matt Parent!

Show notes

Victor Creed: Sabretooth, is one of the X-Men's deadliest enemies. An amped-up version of Wolverine, Creed is the most savage of the X-Men foes, dark and bloodthirsty, but he's also the litmus test for the effectiveness of Xavier's dream. And he's got way more solo series than you might think... Chad is joined by Justin Wilder, Scott Free, Matt and Allison Parent, and Joe Jones for this thought-provoking and hilarious trial. With cover art by Seth Martel!
