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":"S07E23: Atlas/Seaboard - The Hands of the Dragon","slug":"s07e23-atlas-seaboard-the-hands-of-the-dragon","published_at":"2025-12-20T11:33:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870/s07e23-atlas-seaboard-the-hands-of-the-dragon","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bronze-age-monsters-1375870","url":"https://werewolfbynight.libsyn.com/s07e23-atlasseaboard-the-hands-of-the-dragon","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/werewolfbynight/S07E23_Dragon.mp3?dest-id=2301200","summary":"FILL OUT YOUR BALLOT FOR THE ATLAS/SEABOARD SEASON FINALE! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YAkWb4tO4m9iGeBK7Y_hsk5Bfq6kl8NgZMv0_R2jC6w/preview We go through the lone issue of THE HANDS OF THE DRAGON, written by Ed Fedory with art by Jim Craig. Atlas decided to disrupt Marvel's near monopoly on kung fu comics with this origin tale of two twin brothers (one's evil!) who were bathed in radiation in a bomb explosion in Japan as infants. Between their irradiated strength and their years of martial arts training, they were both living lethal weapons. Time to head to the good old US of A for some mid-'70s mayhem.
