DC v Marvel, Podcasts, Silver & Gold, Throwback Thursday

Splitting Atoms is a Captain Atom blog. At least that was my intention when I started it in January 2013. Since Roy and I started our Booster Gold/Captain Atom podcast Silver and Gold, this has also been the home of that podcast.  As of today, this website will revert back to being simply a Captain Atom blog and the podcast (along with its spin-off shows) will have a new home at www.sngpod.com!

Visit that site now and bookmark it. There you will find all of our episodes of Silver & Gold, DC v Marvel, and any other future podcast endeavors.

What this means for Splitting Atoms is that we’ll no longer be posting our podcast content here. This will just be here for Captain Atom blog posts. Like it was when it started. This was always our intention, it just took me a bit to get it all organized.

Again, Captain Atom fans, nothing changes for you. Silver & Gold Podcast fans, your new home is www.sngpod.com.

It is Throwback Thursday again with FKAjason and Vance discussing “The Little Wanderer,” a story by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko that first appeared in Space Adventures #35 (1960, Charlton Comics). Captain Atom helps (sort of) his friend Gunner and his narcoleptic son. Cap flies around, blasts space birds, and generally confounds the readers with questions like, “Why?” or “How?” and “Did somebody say donuts?”

Captain Atom, Joe Gill, Silver & Gold, Silver Age Captain Atom, Space Adventures, Steve Ditko, Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday returns and this time out, FKAjason and Vance review the Space Adventures #34 Captain Atom story “The Second Man in Space” (written by Joe Gill with artwork by Steve Ditko). We discuss the laziness of “space vaccines” and the general cheesyness of silver age comics. Vance can barely stay awake for this one, so you know you’re in for a real treat!
