That may be my favorite cover that Adam's done yet.  Absolutely nailed it.  

I haven't listened yet, but wow.

That cover.

Is amazing.

This answered one of my Black Fist points of confusion before I got the chance to send in the question, which was nice.

I had been wondering what his whole deal was for the first 20 years or so of his existence, since he started early 50s while both phenomea he nods to (Kung-Fu stuff and Blaxploitation) are so early 70s.

The "Joe Lewis but punches crime" idea is era appropriate, neat to think about, but also makes sense as not having quite enough "there" there to get the character to break out or prevent him from being radically overhauled.

Now I just need to know what the Scholar looked like in the decades before Beach Bum was a thing. I'm leaning 80% "mostly like Scholar of the Infinite", but with a solid 20% chance of "Hobo".

Ravage changes hair styles at whim = I need to see art of her with the Bisexual Haircut™, like yesterday.

Very excited to learn more about Black Fist. :D This episode was great, and I think the guys did a great job.

I also had a lot of love for that letter about a ship being on a ship named for a ship. XD That's amazing.

Black Fist’s comic might have lasted longer if it was not for those meddling kids

This. When they first backtracked on the dates due to their issue numbers being vastly wrong, I was like “But he’s OBVIOUSLY from the 70s???” This story resolves the issue.
