A crossover by Todd McFarlane with Batman, Spider-Man and Spawn. It would create a lot of buzz and would be historic as a crossover between the biggest 3 publishers. would they battle their own evil sentient capes? Absolutely! Even Spidey!

Another neat episode, gents, and what a good idea it was to invite Rob for a Roy Thomas-centric episode! And now... our bullet points review! - One thing I really enjoy about these podcasts is that I get to hear the name of creators spoken aloud at long last. I had always pronounced the name of Rich Bukler "Rick". 48 years of living a LIE!!! - I wasn't aware that Roy's first marriage had suffered from his wife being lied to regarding a job at Marvel. That's pretty bad. - Roy not being respected by the staff because he wasn't really the big boss must also have been tremendously infuriating. Not only because it undermined his authority as EiC and made him less efficient, but because it hit the same spot as the "Houseroy" caricature that must have hurt him. - Ross Andru is naturally associated with Spidey at Marvel, but I feel compelled to point out his brilliant work on Kull the Conqueror #1. Yeah, sure, having Wally Wood as an inker helps a lot... but Ross's pencils were great, and created an entire aesthetics that was clearly different from what Smith was doing on Conan or what Foster had done with Prince Valiant. - Roy and Barry Smith on Conan? They were the Beatles, especially after issue #10. I can't decide what was the best story between Song of Red Sonja, Red Nails, Hawks from the Sea or the Black Hound's Revenge... the entire run was simply brilliant. - Dracula was indeed a denizen of the Marvel Universe. He even kicked the Silver Surfer's butt, something that even as a kid I realized made no sense whatsoever. Dracula, the Monster of Frankenstein, Shang-Chi, Conan, the Living Mummy, Deathlok... they should all have have been left to their own universes. - I love the respect expressed for Roy's loyalty and professionalism. It might only have been funnybooks, but he took them seriously. The sense of continuity, the sense of history he brought to a title made me want to learn more about it in a way a succession of done-in-ones couldn't have. - I was shocked to learn about that big Marvel party where Roy wasn't invited. That's just insane. - And hey, I didn't realize that Paul's theme song ran longer at the end of the show!
