This is a jam-packed episode of the Golden Age of Comic Books. We begin with an introduction from the floor, and then move quickly into a discussion about the <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Golden Age Wildcat<\/span><\/strong>. Ted Grant, a\/k\/a Wildcat, first got his start in 1941 in the pages of <em>Sensation Comics<\/em> #1 as a backup to the new feature, &#8220;Wonder Woman&#8221;. Grant was the heavyweight boxing champ, but decided to fight crime after donning a &#8220;cat-like&#8221; costume to clear his name after he was framed for a murder. He also appeared in <em>Comic Cavalcade<\/em> #s 1 &amp; 2 and in <em>All-Star Comics<\/em> #24 and #27 (his only Golden Age cover appearances). He lasted in the Golden Age until 1949, and was later revived in the pages of <em>The Brave and the Bold<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Wildcat, we have a &#8220;jam session&#8221; with Comic Geek Speak, Sci-Fi Dig, Comic News Insider and Comic Book Savant.<\/p>\n<p>We then move to the highlight of the show and my <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>interview of Golden Age Great Jerry Robinson!<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Jerry began working on the Batman feature after being hired by Bob Kane in 1939. Jerry went on to create the Joker for <em>Batman<\/em> #1 and came up with the name for Robin the Boy Wonder. Jerry is a wonder himself and has had a phenomenal career. At 85, Jerry is still going strong with several project on tap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We then spend a few minutes talking about Human Torch Comics #5b, the epic three-part story featuring Sub-Mariner versus the Human Torch and the world.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention that this is just part 1!? This episode ends after day 2 of Heroes Con. Part 2 will pick up on Heroes Con Day 3, and will feature some additional great interviews, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/jerryandbill2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" title=\"jerryandbill\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1796\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/jerryandbill2-300x225.jpg\" srcset=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/jerryandbill2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/jerryandbill2-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/jerryandbill2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;margin: 1px;\"><br><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-6740759833732487\";\ngoogle_alternate_color = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"468x60_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\";\ngoogle_ad_channel =\"\";\ngoogle_color_border = \"\";\ngoogle_color_link = \"\";\ngoogle_color_bg = \"\";\ngoogle_color_text = \"\";\ngoogle_color_url = \"\";\ngoogle_ui_features = \"rc:6\";\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><br><\/div><div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-12\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/2007\/06\/15\/golden-age-of-comics-june-15-2007-52\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-12\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/2007\/06\/15\/golden-age-of-comics-june-15-2007-52\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/2007\/06\/15\/golden-age-of-comics-june-15-2007-52\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/2007\/06\/15\/golden-age-of-comics-june-15-2007-52\/?share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are &#8220;live&#8221; from Heroes Con 2007!
