For Christmas 2009, we tell the story of  "Captain Marvel and the Plot Against Christmas" from Captain Marvel Adventures #42 (January 1945). - Merry Christmas from the Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast and welcome to our fifth annual Christmas episode! For Christmas 2009, we tell the story of  "Captain Marvel and the Plot Against Christmas" from Captain Marvel Adventures #42 (January 1945). In this story, Captain Marvel foils the plot of Gouge Smith to deprive the orphans of the Creedmore Orphanage of toys for Christmas.  This story is told in the tradition of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".  I hope you enjoy learning about a classic Captain Marvel Christmas story from the Golden Age of Comic Books. During the show I also request assistance from the fans of the Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast and Blog.  DC Comics is currently in the process of deciding whether to renew the license of Asgard Press to print the Vintage DC Comics Calendar (http://goldenagecomics.org/wordpress/2009/08/20/2010-vintage-dc-comics-marvel-comics-calendars/).  As you know, this is a great product and I have been honored to be a part of it.  It would be very helpful (and a great Christmas present) if all of the fans of the Golden Age of Comic Books would go to Amazon.com and leave a nice review of the calendar.  We need all of the help we can get!  If you have time, and you enjoy this calendar and want to see more in the future, please use this link (http://www.amazon.com/Comics-Super-Heroes-Vintage-Calendar/dp/1603683224/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261359731&sr=8-1) to leave us a good review. I hope everyone has a great Holiday Season and a very Merry Christmas!

For the 48th installment of the Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast, I discuss three of my favorite Golden Age Christmas Stories. I start with "Christmas Around the World!", the Superman story from Action Comics #93 (February, 1946). Merry Christmas! For the 48th installment of the Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast, I discuss three of my favorite Golden Age Christmas Stories. I start with "Christmas Around the World!", the Superman story from Action Comics #93 (February, 1946). In this story, Superman travels the world on Christmas eve reuniting refugee children with their parents. In his role as Santa, Superman manages to cover the four corners of the globe with Lois Lane, four gliders, a sleigh and reindeer in tow! This is a classic Superman story written by Don Cameron and drawn by Ira Yarbrough and Stan Kaye. This story has been reprinted in Superman in the Forties. I then move on to another Christmas tale written by Don Cameron, pencilled by Bob Kane with inks by Jerry Robinson and George Roussos. This story, "The Lonliest Men in the World!" first appeared in Batman #15 (February/March, 1943). In this story, Batman and Robin decide to bring Christmas cheer to the three lonliest men in the world; a doorman, a radio humorist and a lighthouse keeper. In the end, they bring a vicious criminal to justice while keeping their promise to brighten the lives of these three "lonely" men. This is a classic war-era Batman and Robin story that has been reprinted in Dark Knight Archives, volume 4. (http://libsyn.com/images/goldenagecomics/fc367.jpg) Finally, I talk about one of my all-time favorite Golden Age Christmas stories, "A Christmas for Shacktown!" from Four Color Comic #367 (January/February, 1952). In this story, Donald Duck, Huey, Dewy and Louie, Uncle Scrooge, Daisy Duck, Gladstone Gander and more of the gang, enage in several misadventures that ultimately lead to the gift of Christmas to the poor children of Shacktown. Along the way, Uncle Scrooge nearly looses his fortune, which is saved due only to the ingenuity of Huey, Dewy and Louie and the Junior Woodchucks. This story was masterfully written and drawn by the great Carl Barks. Of course, I couldn't talk about Christmas stories by Carl Barks without also briefly mentioning "Christmas on Bear Mountain" from Four Color Comics #178 (December, 1947) where the great "Duck Man" introduces Uncle Scrooge to the world. In addition to talking about some of my favorite Golden Age Christmas stories, I also mention some recently published Golden Age books: * The Dark Knight Archives, volume 5 * The Spirit Archives, volume 20 * The All-Star Companion, volume 2 Merry Christmas and Enjoy the Show!  Golden Age of Comic Podcast #48 (Standard MP3 - 25.8 mb - 55:59) Golden Age of Comic Books no http://goldenagecomics.org/wordpress/2005/12/19/golden-age-of-comic-books-december-19-2005-29/ http://goldenagecomics.org/wordpress/2005/12/19/golden-age-of-comic-books-december-19-2005-29/#comments Tue, 20 Dec 2005 02:05:15 +0000 Bill Jourdain http://goldenagecomics.org/wordpress/?p=129 http://goldenagecomics.org/wordpress/2005/12/19/golden-age-of-comic-books-december-19-2005-29/feed/ 0 Christmas Welcome to the first annual Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast Christmas special!  In this episode we talk about a number of great Christmas stories and covers from the Golden Age of Comics.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas! - Welcome to the first annual Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast Christmas special!  In this episode we talk about a number of great Christmas stories and covers from the Golden Age of Comics.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
