Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of guys who lost all hope in their lives when the Fans of Central Jersey crumpled in 1978… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

There is no amount of conversation in the interview that follows that will possibly satisfy a 1970s comic books fan such as myself.

Look, I have read and studied comics all the way back to the dawn of time and there is no era I enjoy more than the four-color symphonies produced from about 1969 to 1978.

Why?
JASON SACKS podcast excerpt: "The 1970s was an interesting decade from a creator's perspective because it was the first major wave of fans to become comic book professionals. People like the Friedrich brothers, Jim Starlin, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman. These were the first true comics fans to come out of the fan movement of the 1960s and their biggest ambition in life was to write for comics."
