  1. Great show guys, always happy to hear from Andy.

    I bought this magazine as well, mostly because of the aesthetic. I really need to get to FADE OUT–a noir set in Hollywood? Right up my alley.

    I REALLY need to get started on that b/w magazine show…

    1. Let me know if/when you start THE FADE OUT. We can start a reading club!

      Also, a thousand times yes to the Marvel Mag Cast.

      1. I’ve been collecting all the Brubaker/Phillips stuff as I think they make a great team and would heartily recommend the Fade Out and Fatale, as well, if you don’t mind a little supernatural with your noir.

  2. Well done on the show, gents. I picked this comic up when it came out and really enjoyed that pastiche of Conan. The scenes with the son felt like a gut punch to me as you can kind of see where it’s going and helps give the later timeline Criminal more context and characterization.

    I would definitely listen to a Deadly Hands of Criminal show!

    1. Just the ‘70s generally. Special effects technology was emerging but hadn’t superseded story. I still think it’s the best decade for film.
