Mike Voiles is creator and proprietor of Mike’s Amazing World of Comics, an invaluable resource of information pertaining to comics — especially DC Comics — dating back to their start in 1935. Recently, Mike started a podcast in connection with the site, exploring the early days of DC history through the stories that made the company famous.
With episode 6, Mike has reached a milestone: Jerry Siegel’s and Joe Shuster’s first work with the company in NEW FUN #6 (and, unknown to them at the time, the first appearance of the DC Universe!).
In the episode, Mike looks at issues 3 through 6 of NEW FUN, exploring all the features, especially Henri Duval and Doctor Occult, both of which made their debuts in that sixth issue.
The discussion of NEW FUN #6 starts around the 43-minute mark. But listen to the entire episode. And spend some time at Mike’s site. You’ll be glad you did.
