Interview with Roy Thomas part 2! Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

A year ago, Chad had the chance to interview Roy Thomas all about his early work on the X-Men. And I had the amazing fortune to interview him again for this episode! We cover the latter half of Silver Age X-Men here, discussing talent (Barry Windsor-Smith, Neal Adams, Jim Steranko), crazy plotlines (Red Raven's island, alien Frankentstein), and classic characters (Magneto, Sauron, the Sentinels) before we talk about why the book was cancelled! Roy is a treasure trove of information.
