The Creative Cha-Cha (w/ guest Danny Fingeroth) (Season 4, Episode 5)

Do you know a cha-cha from a waltz? Certainly, the Marvel editorial offices of the early ’80s did! Without any consistent artist on the various Spider-Man titles and a constantly changing stable of editors and writers, the Spider-Man books and Marvel Comics were experiencing a creative revolution in the early ’80s. This moment would launch the careers of Jim Shooter, Frank Miller, Roger Stern, and John Romita Jr. (to name a few), as well as our guest Spider-Editor Danny Fingeroth who will help us recount what it was like to be at Marvel at the time!
