It’s about Roy Thomas getting co-creator credits for Wolverine—a scorching topic. The one thing that put me onto the path of this show is one paragraph in an issue of Back Issue Magazine from TwoMorrows Publishing.
I have no real reason why Roy Thomas did it, and in the show, I lay out a breadcrumb trail of possibilities. I tried to put it together with great care and not cast anyone in a negative light. I quoted many sources and did a lot of research.
Inadvertently, this show completes a trilogy that paints a bigger picture. Those other shows were my Star Wars show, episodes 158 and 161, which discussed an issue of The Comics Journal from around 1980. I hope you liked how it turned out and, at least, see where I’m coming from—even if you disagree!
