S07E08: Atlas/Seaboard - Planet of Vampires

Jeff Rovin wanted Atlas to publish The Omega Man comic book, but when he couldn't secure the rights to it, they came up with PLANET OF VAMPIRES, a mash-up of I AM LEGEND and PLANET OF THE APES written by Larry Hama with an art team of Pat Broderick & Frank McLaughlin. We're joined by Russ & Josh from Taste the Pod of Dracula.  WATCH THE EPISODE WITH GORGEOUS ART HERE: https://youtu.be/xJvX8c2gg2E You can read all 3 issues here: https://archive.org/details/planet-of-vampires-complete/Planet%20Of%20Vampires%2001/ Josh's Substack: https://joshlink.substack.com/ SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/BronzeAgeMonsters JOIN US ON OUR DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/wdXKUzpEh7

For our final season, we're covering the short life of Martin Goodman's Atlas/Seaboard comics by reviewing all the debut issues from their line.  What do you get when you make a stew out of Orwell's 1984 heavily seasoned with Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and generous pinches of A Clockwork Orange and a dash of The Time Machine? Why, Michael Fleisher's crazy dystopian body horror sci-fi book MORLOCK 2001, of course!

We make the Shadow Show every other week for our Patreon supporters, but we're giving this one out as a sample. If you enjoy, consider backing the show on Patreon for future episodes and access to the archives of previous eps. We discuss Marv Wolfman and Steve Gan's wonderfully bizarre SKULL THE SLAYER wherein a Vietnam War POW returns home and everything gets worse...then he and plane full of people go through the Bermuda Triangle! Matt got it in his head that the main character's name was Mike Scully and "corrected" Jacob at the top of the show, so they say the wrong name the whole episode. Woof.
