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":"S07E14: Atlas/Seaboard - Vicki","slug":"s07e14-atlas-seaboard-vicki","published_at":"2025-08-16T20:32:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870/s07e14-atlas-seaboard-vicki","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870","url":"https://werewolfbynight.libsyn.com/s07e14-atlasseaboard-vicki","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/werewolfbynight/S07E14_Vicki.mp3?dest-id=2301200","summary":"Martin Goodman wanted to offer a robust & varied line of comics to compete with Marvel, DC, et al, so he needed a teen-humor mag. He used the art from Tower's TIPPY TEEN (1965-69) and only changed the main character's name...et voila...something to compete with Archie and the gang! We briefly talk about the history of Archie and its clones and then proudly present THREE Vicki stories Power Records-style with real teens as voice talent, sound effects, and original music.
