Kids that grew up reading comics were now making them; many of them were members of the counter-culture. Throw in a desire to do something all-new (and some fads like kung-fu) and you have all the makings of a wild decade of comics. Join Jacob Balcom & Matt Howell as they explore some of the craziest comics of the 1970s (and early '80s). Each season focuses on a different character.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-06T20:18:29.673660+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870"},"episode":{"title":"S07E10: Atlas/Seaboard - Savage Combat Tales","slug":"s07e10-atlas-seaboard-savage-combat-tales","published_at":"2025-05-31T10:33:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870/s07e10-atlas-seaboard-savage-combat-tales","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870","url":"https://werewolfbynight.libsyn.com/s07e10-atlasseaboard-savage-combat-tales","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/werewolfbynight/S07E10_SAVAGE.mp3?dest-id=2301200","summary":"MEET BEN STRYKER: a soldier pummeled by Rommel's forces in the Kasserine Pass...a soldier and pacifist who's managed to survive WWII without taking a human life...so far.
