1964 Annuals with Very Special Guest Steve Buche

Steve and Matt Bird · 043 Marvel Reread Club 1964 Annuals

Welcome to the very first post of the brand-new MarvelRereadClub.com! The Marvel Reread Club Podcast used to be hosted by SecretsOfStory.com, but we’ve moved those 41 episodes over to this new blog. We’ll still be featured in the sidebar over there, but that link will lead you here.

And boy oh boy do we have a big-deal post to launch the new site! We’re focusing on just two episodes in this podcast, but there’s two of Marvel’s very best single-issues: Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 and Fantastic Four Annual #2, so we figured it would be fun to invite a very big special guest on to discuss them. Steve Bunche (who goes by Bunche) was at Marvel and DC for many years and met and/or got to know a ton of the people we discuss on this podcast, and he’s ready to dish! Bunche is a ton of fun, loves these issues, and really knows the inside dope.

You can find Bunche these days at these places:

• The Vault of Buncheness
• Cine-Miscreant
• And he’s on Facebook as Sunny Cheeba

And get his books!

• The Art of Amanda Connor
• How to Draw DC Comics Heroes and Villains with Scott Koblish
